Assume the role of a middle-class American in the late nineteenth century. Describe your sentiments toward the reports of violence in labor strikes at the time. Explain why you hold these views and what you intend to do.

What will be an ideal response?

ANSWER
To this person, “strike” was equated with “violence,” and he feared for his life and property. He saw owners as defenders of law and order and strikers as unruly, ungrateful, and provoked by alien and radical ideologies. He would expect the police and all levels of government to intervene to stop the violence and punish the troublemakers.
