1867 · Sorry Mr. President, You can't do that.
This Act was to restrict the power of the President removing certain office holders without approval of the Senate. It denies the President the power to remove any executive officer who had been appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate, unless the Senate approved the removal during the next full session of Congress. The Amendment was later repealed.

1877 · The First Workers Strike
The country was in great economic distress in mid-1877, which caused many workers of the Railroad to come together and began the first national strike in the United States.

Shortly after the strike began, the battle was fought between the authorities and many of the strikers. The conflict escalated to violence and quickly each side turned bloody.
