Answer: C) Haymarket Riot

Explanation: The Haymarket Riot started out as a solidarity protest to the crushing of the protests at the McCormick harvester plant. While the details remain sketchy, many people died at Haymarket Square, with the Knights of Labor, anarchists, and German immigrants receiving blame for starting the ruckus. Some theorize that it was started by informants hired by the very union being protested against.
