Osterroth, The Yearning for Social Justice

Thesis: Due to very harsh working conditions laborers found great appeal in the Social Democratic political agenda.

I. Conditions (especially in the mines) were very poor

a. Led to more discontent and calls for equality from the working class

II. Social democrats spread their word very aggressively

a. Osterroth became acquainted because of a pamphlet

b. The promise of equality was very alluring

c. The appeal of the right to vote and the opportunity to voice one’s own opinion was almost like a dream

Osterroth quickly joined forces with the Social democrats and helped spread their message
