The massive debt being accumulated became a cause for the growth of socialism in the state, as a farmer wife put it ‘At the present time we are in debt about $400.... I wish that the whole State was socialist” (Foley, 80). The rise of wage slavery allowed for publications such as Hickey’s “The Rebel” and “Tom Hickey’s Magazine”…

The Industrial Revolution led to the mass exploitation of workers in the beginning of the eighteenth century. Workers formed trade unions.
