Strikes(1-4)

In 1886 there were people who only worked 8 hours, but there was many others that had to work 10 to 12 hours. The people that worked longer didn't think it was fair at all, so they had a protest. But something went wrong near the end. About 200 officers showed up to stop the protest even though it wasn't violent. It only turned violent when an unknown person threw a bomb at the officers. It killed one officer, but the reaction of the bomb made the officers start shooting in the dark. They killed many citizens there and many officers. It was then known as the Haymarket Roit. media type="file" key="Haymarket roit.mp3"
