The Haymarket Riot resulted in the conviction of several labor leaders in a bombing that killed several police officers, even though there was no evidence they had anything to do with it. This incident represented a turning point for labor unions in the United States. Although many were perfectly content with the identification and imprisonment of the labor leaders, others viewed these men as martyrs based on the lack of evidence which was presented to convict them.
