Respuesta :

Answer:

b) called for a public works program for the unemployed

Explanation:

Jacob Coxey and his supporters formed, in 1894, the Coxey's Army. He and his group demanded a program for the American unemployed, to promote the creation of jobs for them. This program consisted of the use of unemployed people on the building of roads and other urban activities. Despite the public spread and popularity, Coxey's Army did not found governmental support or a positive response. However, they inspired other groups to do the same protest.
