No, John Altgeld did not end the Pullman Strike; the strike was effectively ended by federal intervention. Although Altgeld, the Governor of Illinois, initially supported the strikers and opposed federal involvement, he ultimately could not prevent the U.S. government from sending troops to break the strike in July 1894. The arrival of federal troops led to violence and the eventual collapse of the strike. Altgeld's opposition to the intervention was significant but ultimately ineffective in stopping the federal response.
