In 1894, a company town outside Chicago erupted into one of the most explosive labor battles in American history. When workers at the Pullman Palace Car Company walked off the job, their strike grew into a nationwide showdown between labor, capital, and the federal government — shutting down railroads across the country. This History Shorts episode explores the injustice that sparked the strike, the role of Eugene V. Debs, the violent federal response, and how the Pullman Strike forever reshaped workers' rights in the United States.
