What was life like in the late 1800s for middle-class families

Glad I could help you!!

Explanation:

In the 19th century well off people lived in very comfortable houses. (Although their servants lived in cramped quarters, often in the attic). However to us middle class homes would seem overcrowded with furniture, ornaments and nick-knacks. Gas fires became common in the 1880s.

the labor movement in the united states grew out of the need to protect the common interest of workers

for those in the industrial sector organized labor unions fought for better wages reasonable hours and safer working conditions

  in the 19th century trade unionism was mainly a movement of skilled workers.

hope this

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
