Railroad strike of 1877 (jul 14, 1877 – sep 4, 1877)

Description:

The strike began as a protest of the lowering of wages for the 3rd time in a single year by the Baltimore & Ohio railroad (which I'm only just now learning is the B&O railroad from Monopoly)

The strikes only stopped after unofficial militias, the national guard, as well as federal soldiers had essentially stomped out the flame of rebellion
