Summary:

"A title in the Flashpoints series from Reacting to the Past, Paterson, 1913: A Labor Strike in the Progressive Era is designed to be played during the time typically devoted to teaching the Progressive Era in U.S. History II. Set in America's "Silk City," Paterson, New Jersey, the game pits manufacturers, who try to keep Paterson's key economic engine running, against labor leaders, who demand a general strike to achieve better working conditions across the silk industry. In the middle of this conflict are townspeople, who must decide whom to support and how to survive a labor struggle that seems to have no end in sight"-- Provided by publisher.
