Railroad strike of 1877This engraving depicts striking railroad workers in Martinsburg, West Virginia, as they stop a freight train on July 17, 1877, in the opening days of the great railway strike of that year. Engravings such as this, which show the strikers to be heavily armed, may or may not have been accurate depictions of events. But the photography of that day could rarely capture live action, and the technology of the day could not reproduce photographs in newspapers, so the public's understanding of events such as the 1877 strike was formed through artists' depictions.

Expansion of Agriculture, 1860-1900The amount of improved farmland more than doubled during these forty years. This map shows how agricultural expansion came in two ways--first, western lands were brought under cultivation; second, in other areas, especially the Midwest, land was cultivated much more intensely than before.

Henry Demarest Lloyd: “The Lords of Industry," North American Review 331 (June 1884)
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1884hdlloyd.html We have given competition its own way, and have found that we
are not good enough or wise enough to be trusted with this power of ruining ourselves in the attempt to ruin others. Free competition could be let run only in a community where every one had learned, to say and act "I am the state." We have had an era of material inventions. We now need a renaissance of moral inventions, contrivances to tap the vast currents of moral magnetism flowing uncaught over the face of society. … If the tendency to combination is irresistible, control of it is imperative. Monopoly and antimonopoly, odious as these words have become to the literary ear, represent the two great tendencies of our time: monopoly, the tendency to combination; anti monopoly, the demand for social control of it. … Our young men can no longer go west; they must go up or down. Not new land, but new, virtue must be the outlet for the future. … We cannot hereafter, as in the past, recover freedom
by going to the prairies; we must find it in the society of the good.

Dangerous conditions at the Meadville, Pennsylvania Steel CompanySteel became a vital component of American industrialization in the late nineteenth century, both as a product itself and as a material necessary for countless new machines. Steel mills--such as this one in Meadville, Pennsylvania--employed large work forces in ever more expansive, and dangerous, settings. (Library of Congress)

• Old Rich displaced by plutocracy of “new rich”
• Gospel of Wealth – discourages helping the poor
• Justified by Social Darwinism – survival of the fittest
• Poor are poor due to lack of initiative

William Graham Sumner (1840-1910): The Challenge of Facts http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1914sumner.html
The truth is that the social order is fixed by laws of nature precisely analogous to those of the physical order. The most that man can do is by, ignorance and self-conceit to mar the operation of social laws. The evils of society are to a great extent the result of the dogmatism and self-interest of statesmen, philosophers, and ecclesiastics who in past time have done just what the socialists now want to do. Instead of studying the natural laws of the social order, they assumed that they could organize society as they chose, they, made up their minds what kind of a society they wanted to make, and they planned their little measures for the ends they had resolved upon. … let us not imagine that the task will ever reach a final solution or that any race of men on this earth can ever be emancipated from the necessity of industry, prudence, continence, and temperance if they are to pass their lives prosperously.

Taking on the Trusts• Plutocracy defended by 14th amendment’s
due process clause • Constitution’s “interstate commerce” clause
inhibits states from controlling trusts• Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890
– Largely ineffective– IRONY: Used effectively against unions
More trusts formed in 1890’s during President McKinley’s so-called anti-trust era than any other!!!

Industry and the South
• 1900: less manufacturing than before Civil War
• James B. Duke: mechanizes tobacco industry & creates tobacco trust
• South acts primarily as source of raw materials
• Shift in cotton mills from NE to S in 1880’s
• Cheap labor (virtually sharecropping) brings rural white southerners to mill towns, traps them there

Impact of Industrialization
• Urbanization
• Erosion of Jeffersonian ideals
• Women’s roles change– Delayed marriages– Smaller families
• Accentuated class division– 1900: 1/10 of US owns 9/10 of US’s wealth– 1900: 2/3 of Americans are “wage slaves”
• Workers’ lives increasingly precarious

• Industrialization radically transformed the condition of American working people, but workers failed to develop effective labor organizations to match the corporate forms of business.

Rise of Big Labor
• Increasing economic change social & economic disruption in workers’ lives
• Labor strengthened by Civil War, then declines. Why?
• Big Business doesn’t fight fair– Pools wealth to hire lawyers & scabs– “lockouts,” “yellow dog contracts,”
blacklists”– “company towns”
• National Labor Union – 1866

PREAMBLE AND DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES OF THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR
TO THE PUBLIC:
The alarming development and aggressiveness of great capitalists and corporations, unless checked, will inevitably lead to the pauperization and hopeless degradation of the toiling masses.
It is imperative, if we desire to enjoy the full blessings of life, that a check be placed upon unjust accumulation, and the power for evil of aggregated wealth.
This much-desired object can be accomplished only by the united efforts of those who obey the divine injunction, "In the sweat of they face shalt thou eat bread."
Therefore we have formed the Order of Knights of Labor, for the purpose of organizing and directing the power of the industrial masses, not as a political party, for it is more - … But no one shall, however, be compelled to vote with the majority, and calling upon all who believe in securing "the greatest good to the greatest number," to join and assist us, we declare to the world that are our aims are:

Knights of Labor
Collective effort needed to counter trusts
• Founded as a secret society in 1869. Why?• Led by Terence Powderly, Irish, utopian• Inclusive and Diverse:
– men and women– white and black– skilled and unskilled
• Broad (utopian? Socialist?) goals• HURT by Haymarket Square riot, 1886,Chicago• Associated with anarchists, falls into decline

Management and LaborThis cartoon, from Puck, April 7, 1886, shows Terence Powderly, in the center, advocating the position of the Knights of Labor on arbitration. The Knights urged that labor and management (identified here as "capital") should settle their differences this way, rather than by striking. Note how the cartoonist has depicted labor and management as of equal size, and given both of them a large weapon; management's club is labeled "monopoly" and labor's hammer is called "strikes." In fact, labor and management were rarely equally matched when it came to labor disputes in the late nineteenth century. (Puck, April 7, 1886)

Context• The Age of Monopolies, Trusts,
Big Labor, and Big Cities
• In the late nineteenth century, American Society was increasingly dominated by large urban centers. Explosive urban growth was accompanied by often disturbing changes, including the New Immigration, crowded slums, new religious outlooks, and conflicts over culture and values. Cities also offered new opportunities and new perspectives, especially to women.

Growth (Rise?) of Cities
• Booming population + immigration = explosive urban development
• Cities hold best and worst of America: richest of the rich, poorest of the poor
• Must solve problems of crowding, sanitation, education, and economic development/growth

(Ireland + Germany)
