Upper Peninsula miners' strike of 1865 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Upper Peninsula miners' strike of 1865
Ore miners working on the Marquette Iron Range (located in the United States' Upper Peninsula of Michigan) went on strike in July 1865, shortly after the end of the American Civil War. They were put down by a naval detachment from the USS ''Michigan'', using an improvised armored train, and later with an army detachment from Chicago. == Prelude: 1864 == During the United States' Civil War, high demand meant the price of iron had significantly increased. Knowing this, the miners forced the mining companies to raise their wages in 1864. The problem was not solved, as the dockworkers, who were paid significantly less than the miners, struck for higher wages. Cleveland Iron Mining Company officials near the capital requested troops from Michigan's governor, believing that the war's demand for iron would override social concerns for the workers. They were correct; a United States Navy gunboat, ''Michigan'', and a troop contingent were sent to the area. Their arrival was instrumental in quashing the strike.〔Reynolds and Dawson, ''Iron Will'', 39–40.〕
