We finished looking at the post from last friday with the last two pages on the Homestead strike. It doesn't really end well for anyone. The workers get shot, the Pinkerton's get shot, Carnegie and Frick look like jerks. It was one of the first strikes in America and a step toward eventual labor improvements in America.
We finished class by looking at pages 219-223 in the textbook on the rise and fall of the populist party.
