Additionally, in the Fair Labor

The Industrial Revolution, a time of technological advancements and changing society, yet also a period marked with unfair and unsafe working conditions. In response to dismal working conditions labor unions emerged and although the workers’ pleas were the same, they were not united in their plight. It emerged as a struggle between American born workers and immigrants, they learned though, that if they united, they were much stronger than they were when divided.

Women and minorities contributed to the war effort on the homefront by making clubs for themselves, custom making quilts, bandages, and clothes for overseas, worked traditional male jobs, donated land, working in the red cross, and organizing festivals. Every citizen of Canada was committed to giving back to the war effort. Even at home and overseas, the military added to the country being in Total War in the air and the sea; they gave it their all no matter where they were fighting. The government’s power in Canada created even a larger condition of Total War by the restrictions introduced and the amount of money spent/donated in WWI.

World War I had been a very hard time for Canada and all the soldiers involved in it. It was difficult to keep a steady stream of new soldiers, so numbers were very low. This is why Robert Borden, the prime minister of Canada at the time, decided it was only right to introduce conscription to Canada. This decision had both negative and positive impacts on Canada.

Canada participated in both World Wars and this had a significant impact on the country.

The cause was for the fact that staff workers earned 5 dollars a week! And Chavez saw the unfairness. Chavez asked his fellow strikers to make a solemn vow to remain

The end of World War I led to a period of unrest in Canada because of rising unemployment, the spreading of the Spanish Flu and increasing negative treatment towards women. Rising unemployment after World War I, led to much tension amongst Canadians. Evidence of this was when war factories shut down because war supplies were no longer needed now that the war had ended, this left many people unemployed (Canadian War Museum).

A series of failed strikes, the American posture of workers inferiority and the regime passive rate all contributed to this kineticism lack of

Imagine working sixteen hours a day in an unsanitary, dangerous, place for a big business gaining two dollars. This is what laboring-class Americans had to go through during the Gilded age. Politically, the first largest American labor union was formed during the Gilded age and many other organizations formed as well as violent strikes.

The most challenging factor in this strike was keeping all the other farm workers fighting for their right as Mexican American farm workers. Some of the supporting men on the strike were starting to resort to the same violence they received from their employers.

The time period from when the Second Industrial Revolution was beginning, up until President McKinley’s assassination in 1901, is known as the Gilded Age. After the Civil War, many people headed out West to pursue agriculture, and many immigrants moved to urban areas to acquire jobs in industrial factories. It is in this context that farmers and industrial workers had to respond to industrialization. Two significant ways farmers and industrial workers responded to industrialization in the Gilded Age, were creating the Populist Party and the American Federation of Labor (AFL).

Workers that were affected in the strike had depression and could not find jobs. Companies were affected because they had difficulty finding workers who would work under their conditions. The wages were very low and that made it hard to
