Note:A nationwide rebellion brought the United States to a standstill in the summer of 1877. Eighty thousand railroad workers walked out, joined by hundred of thousands of Americans outraged by the excesses of the railroad companies and the misery of a four-year economic depression. Police state militia, and federal troops clashed with strikers and sympathizers, leaving over one hundred dead and thousands injured. The Great Uprising inaugurated a new era of conflict over the meaning of American in the industrial age.
