<p>Q: Why did Truman remove MacArthur from command in 1951?</p>

<p>MacArthur wanted to bomb the Chinese in the Korean War and Truman told him no. He then proceeded to openly critize admin decisions. Truman told him to shut up, he didn't, and Truman fired his sorry behind.</p>

<p>What happened at Homestead, PA?</p>

<p>Homestead steel strike. Interesting movie on the history channel the other night. Frick and Mellon, the steel gurus, locked the steelworkers out of the plant, hoping to starve them into submission. Then, they brought in Pinkerton Agents from Ohio (where they were deemed illegal, but not in PA) to allow scabs to come in. A bloody battle soon developed between the agents and the workers. 4 steelworkers died, but the Pinkertons surrendered. Eventually, the national guard came in to quell the rebellion.</p>
