In the early 1900s, most unions lost public support for several reasons. The four answers that best explain this decline in support are:

  1. People feared unions wanted to overthrow government.
  2. People blamed unions for the consequences of a strike.
  3. People thought unions promoted unpopular socialist ideas.
  4. Unions were thought of as violent troublemakers.
