    American Coal Wars - Company Towns, unions & The 1894 Coal Strike

    Coal became a major fuel source after commercial mining began in the 1700s, expanding rapidly in the late 1800s, leading to company towns where workers were exploited with low pay, often in company scrip. The Pullman Strike of 1894, sparked by wage cuts and high rent, saw federal troops siding with corporations to crush the strike. Coal miners faced dangerous conditions like black lung, exemplified by disasters like the 1869 Avondale mine collapse that killed 108. Mine owners valued profit over safety. The Panic of 1893 worsened miners' struggles, leading to a major national strike in 1894. The government supported mine owners, causing the strike to fail and weakening the UMWA.

    Olga of Kiev - A Woman Scorned

    After Igor's death at the hands of the Drevlians, Olga assumed the throne because her three-year-old son Sviatoslav was too young to rule. The Drevlians, emboldened by their success in ambushing and killing the king, sent a messenger to Olga proposing that she marry his murderer, Prince Mal. Twenty Drevlian negotiators boated to Kiev to pass along their king's message and to ensure Olga's compliance. They arrived in her court and told the queen why they were in Kiev: "to report that they had slain her husband ... and that Olga should come and marry their Prince Mal." Olga responded: Your proposal is pleasing to me, indeed, my husband cannot rise again from the dead. But I desire to honor you tomorrow in the presence of my people. Return now to your boat, and remain there with an aspect of arrogance. I shall send for you on the morrow, and you shall say, "We will not ride on horses nor go on foot, carry us in our boat." And you shall be carried in your boat.

    The Life Of Muhammad - Influential Figures Of History

    Hello hope you're doing well and you enjoy! Muhammad was born in approximately 570 CE in Mecca. He was the son of Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib and Amina bint Wahb. His father, Abdullah, the son of Quraysh tribal leader Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim, died around the time Muhammad was born. His mother Amina died when he was six, leaving Muhammad an orphan. He was raised under the care of his grandfather, Abd al-Muttalib, and paternal uncle, Abu Talib. In later years, he would periodically seclude himself in a mountain cave named Hira for several nights of prayer. When he was 40, circa 610 CE, Muhammad reported being visited by Gabriel in the cave and receiving his first revelation from God. In 613, Muhammad started preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming that "God is One", that complete "submission" to God is the right way of life and that he was a prophet and messenger of God, similar to the other prophets in Islam. https://alrashidmosque.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/The-Life-of-The-Prophet-Muhammad.pdf https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-hccc-worldcivilization/chapter/early-life-of-muhammad/ https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-hccc-worldcivilization/chapter/early-life-of-muhammad/
