And there were plenty of loyalists to Britain, the revolution itself was a minority group, and socialism was created in the wake OF the Industrial Revolution as a response to the inhumane conditions and treatment of the workers as a whole. The unions sometimes betrayed the interests of the workers, and in many cases, yes, they got bloody, so did we during the revolution. The union workers viewed non-union workers as traitors to their dreams of gaining better wages and conditions because, before that time, Frick lived to use non-union workers to inflict his wrath on them. I will never say that it was okay to do, but that started with Frick, and much of the time, the city was less burned and more taken over, then driving out the workers who remained non-union. I think the treatment of non-Union workers was egregious, but I think the Union worker’s thought process was right when taken out of the violent revolutionary context, because whenever they laid down and let Frick and Carnegie rule, pay was cut, and their conditions worsened, even as Carnegie claimed to be pro-union. Though the AA in particular remains a blot on the movement, their members had their hearts in the right place, and their leadership, just like with the companies, was the problem. All that truly means is that unions need to have laws to keep themselves in check, and that the government should watch them, as well as companies, closely for corruption.
