The American Federation of Labor (AFL) was a national federation of labor unions in the United States founded in Columbus, Ohio, in December 1886 by an alliance of craft unions disaffected from the Knights of Labor, a national labor association. Samuel Gompers of the Cigar Makers' International Union was elected president at its founding convention and reelected every year, except one, until his death in 1924. The AFL was the largest union grouping in the United States for the first half of the 20th century, even after the creation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) by unions which were expelled by the AFL in 1935 over its opposition to industrial unionism. The Federation was founded and dominated by craft unions throughout its first fifty years, after which many craft union affiliates turned to organizing on an industrial union basis to meet the challenge from the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in the 1940s.

Explain the idea of 'western bias'...<br><br><br>Thanks in advance! :)
cricket20 [7]

The concept of 'Western Bias' is the Eurocentric perspective of the west towards other continents such as Africa where in the western view they tend to feel as a more superior race thus creating a bias on how they view the continent. The idea developed due to the historical, political, and military dominance of the West. This was exemplified by historical writers and western philosophies such as Hobbes, and Machiavelli who developed concepts of realism while Locke & Smith developed liberalism.

When unions were first organized, union leaders did what?
Fiesta28 [93]
When unions were first organized, union leaders were in competition with one another in order to get the most active labor members, but they soon realized that this was a failing tactic and often united into single groups.

How did geography influence life and government on the Greek peninsula
guajiro [1.7K]

High mountains and access to water (the sea, not rivers) meant that navies were critical for war and trade.  This also meant that the different city states of Ancient Greece were physically separated from each other.  This allowed each culture to have similarities (like language and religion), but also significant differences like the Spartan vs. Athens systems.  This also led to a particular type of farming and a limited ability to fight in open plains.  Hence the Hoplite system with phalanxes became dominant.
