Talk:1857

[Untitled]

I have made some year layout proposals which would affect this page: the year in topic paragraph would be replaced with a see also box.

If no-one flags where I have put the discussion on my talk page that they object in a month I will start making everything consistent. It may take some time... --BozMo 19:08, 6 May 2004 (UTC)(talk)

Not quite.

I deleted the line:

• July 24 - First Latter-Day Saints arrive in the Salt Lake Valley.

This happened in 1847, where it is also listed. JordeeBec 19:51, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Pierce M. Butler

The section regarding "The Weeping Time" and the slave auction from Savannah Racetrack links out to a Pierce M. Butler who was killed in 1847. Probably the wrong one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.105.210.98 (talk) 17:15, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

New York Garment Workers Strike?

Did any garment workers' strike happen on this year? Or is it a myth? There are literally dozens, if not more, articles saying that on the web, but I don't see anything about it on Wikipedia. - Joaquin89uy (talk) 20:23, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, just read this on an article " There have been claims that the day was commemorating a protest by women garment workers in New York on March 8, 1857, but researchers have alleged this to be a myth intended to detach International Women's Day from its socialist origin." - Joaquin89uy (talk) 20:29, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
