The Homestead Act took place at Carnegie's homestead steel plant. The union workers of this plant were protesting because they had received a wage cut. Carnegie was usually kind to the union workers and never forced them to stop protesting. However, he was vacationing in Scotland on that fateful day in 1892. So the results of the strike were fatal. The Homestead Act ruined Andrew Carnegie's reputation of being a fair employer.

Andrew Carnegie's response to the Homestead Strike of 1892, particularly his distance from the violent confrontation, aimed to portray him as a champion of peace and progress. However, his decision to support the use of armed guards and the subsequent violent suppression of the strike damaged his reputation. Public opinion shifted, with many viewing him as a ruthless industrialist prioritizing profit over worker rights. Ultimately, this incident highlighted the tension between labor and capital during the Gilded Age, casting a shadow over Carnegie's philanthropic image.
