Free, Yet Forging Their Own Chains (1876)

By C M Cornwall

Book Overview

""Free, Yet Forging Their Own Chains"" is a book written by C. M. Cornwall and published in 1876. The book explores the issue of labor and the relationship between workers and employers in the United States during the late 19th century. Cornwall argues that while workers may be legally free, they are often still subject to oppressive working conditions and low wages that limit their ability to truly control their own lives. The book also examines the role of unions and collective bargaining in improving the conditions of workers, and the challenges that these organizations face in the face of opposition from employers and government officials. Overall, ""Free, Yet Forging Their Own Chains"" provides a critical analysis of the state of labor in the United States during a time of significant social and economic change, and offers insights into the ongoing struggle for workers' rights and economic justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
