11 lugl 1878 anni - Great Railway Strike of 1877 (Social)

Descrizione:

Railroad workers in Martinsburg, West Virginia, initiated a strike in 1877 to protest working conditions and wage cuts. The strike spread quickly and lasted more than a month, leading some to call it the “Great Labor Uprising.” Violent confrontations broke out in Baltimore, Chicago, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and San Francisco, and governors in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia called out their state militias.
