Hopelessly Bound to the Stake


1. What are three pieces of information you choose? Why did you choose the three?

*This cartoon signifies the cruel treatment by the wealthy industrialists toward their workers.
*Laborers were forced to work fourteen to sixteen hour work days in order to fulfill their quota, they worked in unsafe conditions.
*The workers were overworked and underpaid.

I choose these three pieces of information because this is how labor workers were treated by wealthy industrialists and how they work in factories.

2. Were labor unions necessary? Why?

Labor unions are necessary because they could protest for their rights like for better working conditions, higher wages, and shorter work days.

3. Did the government help make monopolies? How?



4. How did money in politics contribute to this cartoon? How has this changed?
