In many ways, F Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald's life mirrors that of the US economy.

They had a booming social and financial life in the 1920s but suffered terribly in the 1930s and they found themselves destitute, drunk, and no longer productive.

What was the goal of unions like the national labor union and the knights of labor
skelet666 [1.2K]

The National Labor Union (NLU) followed the unsuccessful efforts of labor activists to form a national coalition of local trade unions. The National Labor Union sought instead to bring together all of the national labor organizations in existence, as well as the "eight-hour leagues" established to press for the eight-hour day, to create a national federation that could press for labor reforms and help found national unions in those areas where none existed. The new organization favored arbitration over strikes and called for the creation of a national labor party as an alternative to the two existing parties.

The NLU drew much of its support from construction unions and other groups of skilled employees, but also invited the unskilled and farmers to join. On the other hand, it campaigned for the exclusion of Chinese workers from the United States and made only halting, ineffective efforts to defend the rights of women and blacks. African-American workers established their own Colored National Labor Union as an adjunct, but their support of the Republican Party and the prevalent racism of the citizens of the United States limited its effectiveness.

The NLU achieved an early success, but one that proved less significant in practice. In 1868, Congress passed the statute for which the Union had campaigned so hard, providing the eight-hour day for government workers. Many government agencies, however, reduced wages at the same time that they reduced hours. While President Grant ordered federal departments not to reduce wages, his order was ignored by many. The NLU also obtained similar legislation in a number of states, such as New York and California, but discovered that loopholes in the statute made them unenforceable or ineffective.

In early 1869, the Chicago Tribune boasted that the NLU had 800,000 members; Sylvis himself put the figure at only 600,000. Both of these figures turned out to be greatly exaggerated.[2] It collapsed when it adopted the policy that electoral politics, with a particular emphasis on monetary reform<span>[citation needed]</span>, were the only means for advancing its agenda. The organization was spectacularly unsuccessful at the polls and lost virtually all of its union supporters, many of whom moved on to the newly formed Knights of Labor. The depression of the 1870s, which drove down union membership generally, was the final factor contributing to the end of the NLU.

Israel became involved in the civil war in Lebanon when the United Nations was unable to keep order true or false
nikklg [1K]
No, it is false that Israel became involved in the civil war in Lebanon when the United Nations was unable to keep order, since in general Israel wants to stay out of most of the conflicts in this region.

jenyasd209 [6]
It showed how terrible working conditions were for the immigrants working in the industry. which is good because it opened the eyes of the public as to what was going on in the meat packing plants which was utterly disgusting and thus forcing the meat packaging companies to start having better working conditions and have better and much more sanitary ways of packing meat
