the economic depression during the 1890s, commonly known as the Panic of 1893. Coxey's Army was a protest movement led by Jacob Coxey, a businessman and populist politician from Ohio. It consisted of a group of unemployed workers and activists who marched from Ohio to Washington, D.C. in 1894 to demand government intervention and job creation programs to address the high unemployment rates caused by the economic downturn. The main goal of Coxey's Army was to push for the passage of a bill, known as the "Good Roads Bill," which would allocate funds for public infrastructure projects and provide employment opportunities for the unemployed. Although Coxey's Army did not achieve their immediate objectives, it did bring attention to the economic plight of the working class and helped pave the way for future labor movements and government intervention in times of economic crises.
