Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which synthesis best explains labor movements and industrial conflict in the United States from 1865 to 1920?

ALabor conflict disappeared once railroads and factories expanded after the Civil War.

BUnions won every major strike because courts always favored collective bargaining.

CIndustrial conflict was limited to farmers and had little connection to factories, railroads, or mines.

DIndustrial capitalism created new workplaces where workers, employers, courts, and governments fought over wages, authority, union recognition, and the meaning of freedom at work.

Solution & Explanation:The period's labor history involved repeated conflicts over economic conditions, employer power, legal rules, public order, and workers' rights to organize.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

BBoth sources reject any connection between labor and freedom.

CBoth sources agree that closed shops should be mandatory by federal law.

DThe worker source is about farming, while the manager source is about overseas empire.

Solution & Explanation:The sources reveal competing meanings of freedom in industrial labor relations: collective power versus individual contract and employer control.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
