APUSH AMSCO Main Points of Unit 6 (6.7 and
6.8) with Complete Solutions

Learning Objective (6.7) - ANSWER - Explain the socioeconomic continuities and changes associated with
the growth of industrial capitalism from 1865 to 1898



Wages - ANSWER - By 1900 2/3 of all employed Americans worked for wages that required them to labor
for ten hours a day, six days a week. The wages were determined by supply and demand, and the large
supply of workers meant that companies could charge barely above the level needed to survive. Low

site of the first may Day in Chicago. In Chicago there were 200 anarchists who advocated to overthrow
the government. The Knights of Labor held a public meeting ant the police attempted to break up the
