In the 1800s, britain and the united states had laws against unionizing mainly because they believed unions ?

They believed that unionization would bring losses to industry and the consequence would be a downturn in the country's economy.

Explanation:

With the growth of cities, the expansion of commerce and the increasing use of steam, loom and weaving machines, industrialization begins, generating an expansion of companies and increasingly rapid forms of production, in order to generate the production. Meanwhile, the workers had miserable wages, poor working conditions, and no right to anything.

In the midst of this fervor of precarious conditions of work, unemployment and exploitation, the workers began to unite in search of better employment conditions and against the abuses committed by employers, in order to regulate the minimum working conditions. And so the unions emerged which was a movement that sought improvements for the labor cause. However, entrepreneurs saw unionism as a form of prejudice, they knew that what the workers claimed would cost money and thought it would harm their companies and for that reason, entrepreneurs sought ways to make unionization illegal.

i do not know if this question has options, but a main impact of the federal reserve act of 1913, which created the federal reserve bank, was the international use of the u.s. dollar, which soon became the world's leading currency - particularly during world war i, since many nations around the world asked the united states for money.
