What did Andrew Carnegie do because of the homestead strike?
The Homestead Strike was a labor strike that occurred at the Carnegie Steel Company's Homestead Steel Works in Homestead, Pennsylvania in 1892. It was one of the most violent and controversial labor strikes in American history. During the strike, Andrew Carnegie, the owner of Carnegie Steel, was not physically present at the Homestead Steel Works. However, he was heavily involved in the decision-making process and ultimately played a significant role in the outcome of the strike. One of the main causes of the strike was the decision by Carnegie Steel to reduce wages and increase production at the Homestead Steel Works. The workers, who were represented by the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, resisted these changes and demanded better working conditions and higher pay. In response to the strike, Carnegie Steel hired private security guards to protect the plant and keep the workers out. The strike turned violent when the guards and the striking workers clashed, resulting in several deaths and injuries. Ultimately, the strike was broken by Carnegie Steel and the workers were forced to accept the company's terms. The strike had a lasting impact on labor relations in the United States and was a major factor in the rise of the labor movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

This was a battle to unionize steel workers of Carnegie Steel Company in Pennsylvania. The Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers (AA) was an American labor union formed in 1876. It was a craft union representing skilled iron and steel workers. Carnegie was publicly in favor of the Unions but only publicly. He and his manager Henry Frick were bound to break the union. The Homestead was a setback to the union. The Pennsylvania State Militia was brought in to stop the uprising.

The strike ended with Frick (plant GM) hiring replacement workers for the mill under the protection of the Pennsylvania State Militia. Once he successfully got the plant running again, he simply waited out the strikers, until they began ignoring the strike and returning to work under Frick's conditions (the conditions that he had originally proposed, which had led to the strike). Within two months, nearly all of the striking workers that management wanted back had returned to work, the rest being permanently replaced.

Why was Henry Clay Frick known as America's Most Hated Man?
Frick was the chairman of Carnegie's steel company. Throughout his life, Frick was known to be a ruthless, cutthroat business man who would not negotiate with unions, who strove to maximize profits at the expense of his workers. In a sense he was a robber baron. During a strike at one of the companies largest steel plants, Frick brought in a team of mercenaries and killed nine workers. For these reasons, Frick was known as America's most hated man at the time, and was even attempted in assassination by the anarchists at one time after the strike.
