Homestead Strike

Students simulated the 1892 Homestead Strike that took place at Andrew Carnegie's Pennsylvania steel mill. Students examined Carnegie's tactics at breaking the strike and how exemplified labor-employer relations at the end of the 19th century. Students then began working DBQ essays. The DBQ essay will be the final formal assignment for the History Journal Project.
