Steps of a DBQ Step 4: Thesis writing Example 1:  During the late 1800s America was experiencing a period known as the industrial revolution. However in the great advancement of mass production there was little concern for the workers. People, including children, were working an average of 9.9 hours a day in 1875, and were receiving little pay or respect for their services. There was a need for an organized labor union.

To a certain extent, organized labor was successful in the last quarter of the nineteenth century although there were several major obstacles.

Steps to a DBQ Go through and write the rest of your DBQ with the new information you have brainstormed. If I see “This document says…” or something similar you will receive a zero on this assignment.  Let me know if you need help integrating documents. This will be due next Wednesday
