It was a two class society back then, where the rich did what they wanted and the rest of us lumped it. Not like today . . . wait . . .

Henry Frick was ordered by Carnegie to evict striking workers/vandals from his premises in Homestead. He engaged the Pinkertons to the purpose and death by ballistics ensued. Strikers, union organizers . . . these were systematically Blacklisted and prevented from working forever after. Men who agitated for better worker conditions in the mines, in the steel and paper and textile mills, and in packing plants, were beaten in the streets by gangs hired by company owners; It was an age of small minds with large appetites. Not like today . . .

The "Geneva Convention" is a press caused misnomer which has led to massive misunderstanding as a result. There were several Geneva Convention meetings (about the rights of and redressing of injuries to people in war) and several Hague Convention meetings (weapons of war), where the cruelty of man against man was discussed, delimited, and generally condemned; by the same nations who were the biggest perpetrators of said cruelty. The conferences in question were spread across space and time by over a century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Conventions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hague_Conventions_of_1899_and_1907
