Question

1. which was a consequence of the haymarket square riot? (5 points)

○ eroded support for the knights of labor
○ boosted support for the knights of labor
○ eroded support for the american federation of labor
○ boosted support for the american federation of labor

Explanation:

The Haymarket Square Riot (1886) led to negative public perception of labor movements associated with radicalism. The Knights of Labor, which was seen as having ties to the unrest (even though not directly responsible), saw its public support erode. The American Federation of Labor (AFL) was more conservative and focused on skilled workers, and the riot's aftermath didn't erode its support (it was still building) nor did it boost the Knights. So the correct consequence is eroded support for the Knights of Labor.

Answer:

A. eroded support for the Knights of Labor
