Explore political cartoons and primary sources to understand the changing nature of work during the late 19th century. Discuss the demand for low-skilled labor leading to "deskilling" of artisans, harsh labor conditions like low pay, long hours, and dangerous sweatshops, as well as the incorporation of child labor and working women. Learn about key responses to these issues, including the works of photojournalist Jacob Riis, the Settlement House Movement initiated by Jane Addams, and influential ideologies like the Gospel of Wealth by Andrew Carnegie and Social Darwinism by John D. Rockefeller. Delve into the development of workers' organizations and unions, such as the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor, and the challenges they faced, including setbacks like the Homestead Steel Strike and Pullman Strike.
