Great Railroad Strike
On Jul 01, 2024
The Great Railroad Strike of 1877 was a nationwide strike by railroad workers in the United States. It began in West Virginia and quickly spread to other states, including Pennsylvania, Maryland, Illinois, and Missouri. The strike was a response to wage cuts and poor working conditions, and it was one of the largest labor uprisings in U.S. history. The strike led to widespread violence and destruction, with clashes between striking workers and the police and military. The strike also had significant economic and political implications, as it disrupted the nation's transportation and commerce. Ultimately, the strike was a turning point in the labor movement, as it brought attention to the plight of workers and led to increased support for labor unions and workers' rights. It also highlighted the growing tensions between labor and capital in the rapidly industrializing United States.
