Answer 2

The government usually moved quickly to stop strikes and other labor disturbances.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the biggest strikes in US history happened during the 19th century such as The Great Southwest Railroad Strike, The Great Anthracite Coal Strike, The Steel Strike, and others. The government reacted in the same way in all of them, by aiding the companies to kill off the strikes by using troops. During this period workers had no rights and usually, judges took the side of employers.
