"After the American Civil War, great numbers of European immigrants swelled Pittsburgh's population, and industrial magnates such as Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, and Thomas Mellon built their steel empires there. The city became the focus of historic friction between labor and management, and the American Federation of Labor was organized there in 1881." (Sau Nội chiến Mỹ, số lượng lớn người nhập cư châu Âu đã làm tăng dân số của Pittsburgh, và các ông trùm công nghiệp như Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick và Thomas Mellon đã xây dựng đế chế thép của mình ở đó. Thành phố trở thành tâm điểm của các cuộc xung đột lớn giữa lao động và quản lý, và Liên đoàn Lao động Mỹ đã được tổ chức ở đó vào năm 1881.)
=> focus of historic friction ~ center of important conflict: tâm điếm của các cuộc xung đột, va chạm lớn
