Protests, Riots and Civil Unrest

The New York Draft Riots showed all northern states weren't anti-slavery. The German and Irish immigrant communities in New York were targeted by the Democratic, or pro-slavery party. They told the immigrants that they were being drafted so that black people could stay behind and take their jobs. As a result, one of the ugliest events in New York City history happened. Black men, women and children were assaulted and even killed by mobs of immigrants.

Gandhi protested in a non- violent way against british colonization by using salt marches, hunger strikes, and boycotts.

On May Day 1886, the workers at the Harvesting Machine Co. in Chicago began a strike in the hope of gaining a shorter work day. On May 3, police were used to protect strikebreakers and a scuffle broke out, one person was killed and 50 injured. It was a horrible day May 4, 1886 when anarchists murdered eight Chicago police officers. The offenders shot at the officers and threw a bomb during a labor riot. Blood ran in the streets and before it was over 70 people were killed or wounded. The suspects were rounded up, tried and were sentenced to be hanged. One suspect blew himself up cheating the hangman but the others danced at the bottom of the gallows located at Hubbard and Dearborn Streets.

Because it isn't the unborn babies' choice to die. We decide to take it into our own hands and make the claim that "It's not out of the womb, so it isn't a REAL person."

Basically, don't steal the life of another human being.

At 3 weeks after conception the embryo's first heartbeat begins, and the brainwaves are detectable at 6 weeks. This is every human being's history.

Have you ever wondered why your parents work for 8 hours? Well in 1886 around 120 years ago there was no limit to work. You would come in to work early in the morning and come out late at night. But then on May 4, 1886 there was a strike at the Haymarket Square in Chicago the strike was going against the hours they had to work. On May Day 1886, the workers at the Harvesting Machine Co. in Chicago began a strike in the hope of gaining a shorter work day.

Advantage of going on strike : Well first off, you don't have to work (Yay!), and second, you MAY have a chance to successfully protest your idea and actually get what you really want, third, you will be noticed by the public eye via the media, or just rumors across the street. Disadvantages of going on strike : You could completely lose your job (and obviously not get what you wanted), depending on the ways that you protest (violently, disturbing the peace at night, etc etc) you could be arrested. So if you're actually thinking on going on a strike (not recommended by me), be sure that you do it mannerfully, and discuss reasonable terms. But before any of that, just be sure to weigh out the pros and cons about going on strike.
