fire oh no

From the perspective of an American living in 1911 who has been following the news of the Triangle Factory Fire and its aftermath in your daily paper, tell me your reaction to the events. What action (if any) do you think should be taken?

• How do the events of the Triangle Factory Fire and its aftermath tie in with what we've learned about the Progressive Era thus far?

what where those factory owners thinking shuting the windows locking the doors, inoccent people died for this reason. they shoud be made to lose there job and never be in the busniess indusry this workers should be the ones to own these factorys and make them work like monkeys for them just like they made those poor immagrate do.

the triangle facotory ties in with the progressice era by, it factorys who arent caring about their people and letting them get hurt with low wages and no insurance or anything. its showing how buisness men are getting away with anything they want if you have the money for it. it shows that if your rich you can pay to keep peoples mouths shut and have them forget about everything.

Explain why unions had little success during the period 1871-1900 in improving the economic and social position of U.S. workers

the union had little sucess in the 1870s, in improving thing economic and social positions of the u.s workers. the union instead of working together they took eachothers jobs, never working together on anything. they could never out way the power and the amount of money the bigger companies held over there heads. the government never supported the weak small union they government always supported the big powerful companies, also the union had some public reaction problems, they were radicals always doing something wrong making a fool of themselves.
