On September 8, 1862, General Lee becomes aware of the fact that Union troops occupy Harpers Ferry. This is a danger to his plans as Lee expects to draw supplies from the northern end of the Shenandoah Valley. Lee is therefore compelled to capture Harpers Ferry and on September 9, 1862 his plan of operation is set forth.Lee decides to divide his army into three segments. One is led by generals Jackson and McLaws to capture Harpers Ferry. These troops will attack the fortified garrison from the west and the north.
A second segment of his army is led by General Walker to attack Harpers Ferry from the southeast.
A third division calls for General Longstreet to capture Boonsboro and Hagerstown as a base for future operations.
This is the famous "lost order" that is retrieved by a Union soldier and given to General McClellan. He now has Lee's plans but advances with all precautions.
Wages and working condition
Labor unions began to evolve in the United States in the 1700s and 1800s because of the need for safety and security for workers. Workers formed labor unions in response to intolerable working conditions, low wages, and long hours.
poor working conditions and low wages in many industries
The response to the growing strength of unions varied significantly, with many employers and government officials viewing them as a threat to traditional labor relations and capitalist structures. In some cases, this led to increased repression, including strikes being met with violence, legal restrictions, and anti-union legislation. Conversely, some segments of society recognized the importance of unions in advocating for workers' rights, leading to reforms that improved labor conditions. Overall, the response was a mix of resistance and gradual acceptance, shaping labor relations in the long term.
