Quizplus · Accepted Answer

President Grover Cleveland responded to the Pullman strike of 1894 by sending in federal troops to end the strike and occupy the rail yards. The strike had disrupted transportation across the country, and Cleveland believed that he had to protect the mail and interstate commerce from the striking workers. The troops, under the command of General Nelson Miles, forcibly ended the strike and arrested the union leaders. The Pullman Strike and Cleveland's response to it illustrated the growing tensions between labor and capital in the late 19th century.
