Why did the Knights of Labor expand in the 1880s? Why did it collapse almost as suddenly?
What will be an ideal response?
The Knights had great success in organizing strikes and asked for reasonable improvements in the workplace such as the eight-hour day. The Haymarket Riot in 1886 resulted in increased attacks on the Knights in the press and the arrests of hundreds of union activists. Public opinion had been pushed to oppose the Knights' efforts by the creation of a climate of fear, and their support diminished accordingly.
