AMH 2020 Exam 1 Review
Sharecropping - correct answer ✔A system of farming that developed in the
South after the Civil War, when landowners, many of whom had formerly held
slaves, lacked the cash to pay wages to farm laborers, many of whom were

for the landowner, one for the worker, and one for whoever provided seeds,
fertilizer, and farm equipment.

government to limit the power of labor unions and break up strikes


Chinese Exclusion Act 1882 - correct answer ✔(1882) Denied any additional
Chinese laborers to enter the country while allowing students and merchants
to immigrate. American workers felt threatened by the job competition.


Apprenticeship System 1886 - correct answer ✔By the year of 1886 there
was abolition in Cuba and emancipation in all LA and Caribbean. This scared
the British because they feared the economic effect of lost labor force, need to
compensate plantation owners. Therefore the system was created for ex-
slaves, at first it was 12 years of apprenticeship then reduced to 6 years. The
ex-slaves worked 40 hours/week and were paid with room and board. This
system prevented mass desertions of plantations. After 6 years full freedom
was granted.


Knights of Labor - correct answer ✔1880's- union for unskilled laborers,
women, blacks, immigrants; ended after Haymarket Square riot of 1886


Haymarket Affair - correct answer ✔A riot during an anarchist protests at
Haymarket Square in Chicago in May 1886, over violence during the
McCormick Harvester Company Strike, the deaths of 11, including 7

, policemen, helped hasten the demise of the Knights of Labor, even though
they were not responsible. It grew out of agitation for an 8-hour work day. The
Anarchists had scheduled an open meeting following the death of a striker, as
the crowd began to break up violence erupted causing the affair. It caused a
widespread revulsion against labor unions.


Vagrancy laws - correct answer ✔Southern state laws, passed as part of
Black Codes in the fall and winter of 1865 and 1866, designed to define (and
limit) the rights of blacks. These laws provided that blacks not "lawfully
employed" could be arrested, fined, imprisoned for a year, or hired out to a
man who would assume responsibility for their future behavior and their debts
(thereby putting the employee in debt to the employer). Arrest under these
vagrancy laws could be triggered if a black person were found wandering
about or being idle on a street corner or acting in a "disorderly manner" or
being engaged in "disreputable occupations."


American Federation of Labor - correct answer ✔1886; founded by Samuel
Gompers; sought better wages, hrs, working conditions; skilled laborers,
arose out of dissatisfaction with the Knights of Labor, rejected socialist and
communist ideas, non-violent.
