First, we'll explain what the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 was. It was simply put, it was when railroad workers around the nation burned many railroad stations and other various railroad property. This state of unrest caused labor unions to be formed. The strike ended around 45 days after it started.

Labor unions helped protect and fight for the rights of workers and the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 influenced the rise of labor unions because it brought awareness of the need of labor unions to look out for those rights.
