Homestead Act and the Dawes Act Dawes proposed the Dawes Act because he wanted to help the American settlers in the East to develop the United States in the west.

Immigrants had to buy these products and consume them because there were few other options to pick from and they were very poor. Most younglings died and most adults faced starvation.

Introduction Over the years, farmworkers have encountered abusive labor practices under the supervision of unethical and corrupt employers. To fight this continued abuse, several unions were created in the1900s by activist and labor organizers. However, despite the efforts of unions to completely eliminate farm worker exploitation, there is still a need for sustainable labor activism to continue improving the living and working conditions, health, occupational safety, and access to justice for labor workers. Historically, social workers and labor activist have been an important part of a larger response to income inequality and massive immigration.
