Advanced American History

As we culminate our viewing of the documentary on the Homestead Steel Strike of 1892, consider the questions that arose from this clash between industrialists and workers.  Many are still relevant today.

  • Carnegie owned the steel works.  It was his property.  Did the workers have any right to take over the steel mill.
  • Employees always retain the right to quit.  Should they have more rights than that singular right?
  • What was the legacy of the steel strike?
Reminder:  Quiz on Chapter 4 (Industrialization in the Gilded Age) Thursday.
