Why did the railroad strike of 1877 end?

The railroad strike of 1877 ended due to a combination of factors, including increased violence and intervention by federal and state authorities. As the strike escalated, local and state militias were deployed to restore order, often leading to violent confrontations. Additionally, the economic pressure and the withdrawal of support from some workers and labor unions weakened the strike. Ultimately, the combination of government intervention and the inability to sustain the momentum led to its conclusion.
