The Great Strike Video Resources

Below are links to YouTube videos that summarize each of the strikes that we talked about in class. Do not take notes on these videos. Watch these videos only to help you to better understand each of the strikes.

The Haymarket Riot of 1886
I apologize that this video is choppy and hard to understand initially, but it is a good video which will help you understand the outcome of the Haymarket Riot.
Also click this link for more information about The Haymarket Riot

The Homestead Strike of 1892
This is a GREAT video which completely summarizes the labor strike.

The Pullman Strike of 1894
This video briefly addresses the Pullman Strike. Hopefully this video will be more relevant to you because it addresses the Pullman Strike's influence on Labor Day! I figured this would be appropriate since we're quickly approaching Labor Day!!

Welcome

Welcome to the class blog! This blog is very important for you to succeed in this class. Here you will be able to view media, access quizzes, access documents, and much more. This blog will be used with a program called Remind101 which will allow me to send text message reminders to your cell phone; however, you will be unable to reply to these messages.  I will often remind you to access the latest blog post for the next class as well as remind you about upcoming tests and exams. I also plan to upload many resources on this blog which will ultimately benefit you! You will understand this better as the semester progresses. I can't express how excited I am about this semester, and I know that with hard work and determination you will be successful in this class!
