Correct. The answer is B. According to the Lowell Journal on February 18, 1834, the workers decided to return to their machines after only a few days because they saw through the “wicked misrepresentations” of their coworkers and decided that their actions had been neither rational nor necessary.

Correct. The answer is D. In Document 2, the mill girls reference their “patriotic ancestors, who preferred privation to bondage, and parted with all that renders life desirable—and even life itself—to procure independence for their children.” This is a clear reference to the Patriots of the American Revolution. By making this connection, the mill girls are attempting to make their cause appear patriotic and justified.

Correct. The answer is C. In this document, the strike leader explains that the workers’ grievances were not simply economic. Referring to many of the values articulated by Andrew Jackson in his critiques of the moneyed elite, the young woman criticizes the mill owners for treating the young women workers as their economic AND social subordinates.

Correct. The answer is A. The mill workers’ grievances and protests were spurred initially by economic concerns. Female temperance and moral reform activists, on the other hand, were spurred to action by religion, though their later work became more explicitly political.
