Question

1. How are Goldman and Frick’s claims about the Homestead strike different?

Answer 1

The answer is

Emma Goldman was in support of labor Union

Henry Frick was against the strike

Explanation:

The Homestead Strike was a labor lockout and strike that began in late June 1892 in the town of Homestead at the Carnegie Steel Works. The manager of this plant was Henry Frick. He was in favor of capitalism and he was against the strike. The strike was organized by the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, an early trade union, which had some success in organizing workers and negotiating contracts with other steel factories. While on the other hand Emma Goldman was an anarchist political activist and she was against the capitalist theory. She was in favor of this strike and the labor union.

Answer 2

The correct answer is that Emma Goldman supported labor union (she was against the capitalist system) and Henry Frick the owner of the Homestead steel plant was against it.

The Homestead strike began at the steel plant in the Homestead. This strike took place because the management under the leadership of Henry Frick ( known for his contempt of workers and labor unions) wanted to demolish the union at the plant in order to reduce the wages. Whereas, Emma Goldman (opposed the idea of wage reduce given by Frick) was a political activist who supported the rights of workers
