Background
In the early years of the United States, most farming was done on small family farms. Harvest time required extra hands, but typically relatives, neighbors, and hired hands helped bring in the crops. Communities worked together to meet the needs of the labor-intensive harvest. Large-scale agriculture, supported by slavery, existed in the American South.
The demand for seasonal farm labor began in the United States as early as 1850. Throughout the country, farm production reached the point that producers required additional workers. In the Northeast, farm laborers were typically newly arrived immigrants, often of European descent. Former slaves, poor European Americans, and Native Americans did agricultural work in the post–Civil War South. In the West, farm laborers were often immigrants from China, Japan, or Mexico. As early as 1903, Japanese and Mexican farm workers in the beet industry formed a labor association and went on strike for better wages. One Mexican worker was killed during a conflict between laborers and farmers, but the newly formed union achieved its demands. One of the keys to the union’s success was that it drew together different cultural and ethnic groups that shared a common goal.
During the early twentieth century, urbanization and changes in farm production and technology increased the need for seasonal farm laborers. Numerous family farms were absorbed by large-scale agricultural facilities. At the same time, many people left rural areas for urban ones, and traditional farming skills were lost. Technological and chemical innovations, including machinery and pesticides, increased the cost and the productivit.

organized the Confederation of Mexican Workers to protest the
conditions under which they were treated
The Criminal Syndicalism Act, passed in 1919 - due, in part,

Union after Union, protest after protest, the Great
Depression had so many varying affects on the country.
