The strike finally came to a end when President Grover Cleveland sent federal troops to Chicago on July 6, 1894. “The Pullman Strike was important because it was the first time a federal injunction had ever been used to break up a strike. George Pullman was no longer regarded as an enlightened employer who took care of his workers, but as a greedy and intolerant man. He was offended by his workers' ingratitude.” Cited By http://www.lib.niu.edu/1994/ihy941208.html

Regretting the Bomb On August 6th and August 9th, 1945, the United States showcased a power that had previously never been witnessed: the atomic bomb. Dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively, the nuclear explosions (and their subsequent effects) caused the deaths of over 140,000 people. More Japanese citizens died in the bombings than the combined deaths of United States soldiers in the entirety of World War II in the Pacific. Thus, creating a museum exhibit in memory of one of the main contributors to the invention of the bomb that caused that much destruction may seem like an unworthy cause, much like the Enola Gay exhibit faced when it was proposed at the Smithsonian, but that is exactly what should happen. J. Robert Oppenheimer was a scientific director for the Manhattan Project (the group of scientists and researchers that created the atomic bomb), and he should be memorialized for his contributions to both scientific and political ideology.
Truman believed using the atomic bombs would end the war and result in less casualties for both countries civilians and soldiers. There is great controversy over this decision. For months after Truman gave the order to drop the atomic bombs, the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki suffered major radiation damage. Japan lost a large number of civilians due to radiation sickness, the radiation also gave farmers the inability to grow their rice crops which is a major food source for the people of Japan. This helped the death toll reach new heights over the next few months as civilians were dying of starvation and diseases.
of this magnitude. I was curious as to why anyone would hate the United States so much that they would want to cause want to kill thousands of innocent people. Even though it was still a complex issue to understand at that time, I did grasp that other places in the world simply didn’t like America because is we are “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” The days following September 11th really made me proud to be an American as all the stories poured in of all those that lost their lives trying to save others on that day. The whole country was united in a time of great turmoil. That date is to me what the John F. Kennedy assassination was to someone living in the 60s or what World War II was to those growing up in the
