During the 1840s, the major achievement of the labor movement was that the courts relieved workers from the threat of conspiracy laws being used against them if they organized or engaged in strikes. The labor movement was not primarily made up of socialists and anarchists, nor was it successful in getting pension plans for workers. While the labor movement demonstrated some unity, it was not its major achievement during this time period.
