Advanced American History

After a review of the changing nature of work and the conflict produced in the Gilded Age, we began viewing the documentary 10 Days that Unexpectedly Changed America:  The Homestead Strike.  This account of the actions of steelworkers at Andrew Carnegie's Homestead Steel Works would do much to shape the balance of political and economic power in America for the next few decades.
