She represents the Chicago fire in the story of Illinois; she is the youth that helped build a beautiful, great city out of the overgrown frontier town that burned in '71. 15 1877 The Railroad Strikes When the Civil War was ended, more than slavery had been abolished. The old, slow way of life had died, and in the years that followed, the whole country, north and south, knew the turmoil of learning a new way of living. It was too great a wrench to leap from the frontier ways of the first half o...f the century, through the blood and upset of war, to the mechanical era that was about to open ahead. In a few years, the enormous cost of war, uncertain currency, in- flation, and too much railroad building, to name only a few of the causes, came to a climax in the panic of 1873, which was much like that of 1929. By 1877 the unrest and depression, made worse by poverty and hunger, blazed into open war in the railroad strikes. Nothing before or since in railroad history equalled the mob violence and riots of '77.
