Why do you think socialism never took hold in the united states even with the harsh working conditions in the late 1800's

Answer:

Socialism never took hold in the united states due to many reasons.

Explanation:

The conditions of the workers in factories were so low that it was like no wage. They could not even sustain a family to feed and survive. But still they continued and worked in factories to make a secure life for themselves. Else they could also be replaced by other workers very easily.

The labor movement did grow to protect the concerns of workers. Labor unions were organised for better wages, reasonable hours and safer working conditions. But it soon failed as a result of maturing of Industrialism. Then national unions created the AFL but they fought only for the skilled labours. So, even with all these conditions, socialism never grew in United States.

one of the negative side effects were the economic losses the events of september 11th caused. many, many people lost their jobs as a result of a downturn in the economy after the terrorist attacks.
