Ch.5 6 Powerpoint
This document provides an overview of several key events and developments in the late 19th century American West and Industrial Revolution era, including:
1) The decimation of the American buffalo population from 15 million in 1800 to just 1,000 in 1870 due to overhunting.
2) Several notable battles between Native Americans and the U.S. Army such as the Sand Creek Massacre and Battle of Little Bighorn.
3) The Homestead Act of 1862 which gave land to settlers but was exploited by land speculators.
4) The rise of populism in response to economic struggles faced by farmers on the Great Plains including debt and high railroad prices.
11populism
1. The document discusses the Populist movement of the late 1800s, which aimed to help struggling American farmers.
2. Farmers faced economic hardship due to overproduction of crops, mechanization increasing debts, and control of markets by corporate trusts.
3. The Populist movement advocated for bimetallism (using both gold and silver coins) to expand the money supply and inflate prices, benefiting debtors like farmers. However, this was opposed by conservatives and big banks who favored deflation.
Test notes
The document discusses various topics related to the late 19th century United States, including the industrialization period, westward expansion, immigration trends, and social/political movements. Key points mentioned include the Haymarket Riot hurting unions by associating them with violence, the Homestead Act and land grants providing ways for settlers to acquire western lands, and industrialists being called "captains of industry" for increasing supplies of goods and creating many jobs. Technological advances and financial investments sparked the expansion of American industry.
Politics of the 1920’s
The document summarizes several key political and social issues in the United States during the 1920s. It discusses post-WWI issues like Prohibition and the women's suffrage movement. It also covers immigration restrictions passed by Congress in the 1920s. Other topics include labor strikes, the rise of the automobile and infrastructure changes, the increased use of electricity in homes, and brief overviews of the presidencies of Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, and Herbert Hoover during that decade.
Wall Street Crash 1929
The Wall Street Crash of 1929 marked the beginning of the Great Depression. Speculation and overproduction led to a bubble in stock prices throughout the late 1920s. When prices reached unsustainable highs and profits began to fall, widespread panic set in as investors started selling their shares. On October 29, 1929, known as Black Tuesday, share prices collapsed as over 16 million shares were sold in a single day with no buyers found. The crash wiped out millions of investors and led to widespread unemployment that reached over 12 million by 1933. Small businesses closed, banks failed, and people had less money to spend, deepening the economic crisis.
The populist movement
The document summarizes the Populist Movement of the 1880s-1890s in the United States. Key aspects included angry farmers forming the Populist Party to protest economic problems affecting many groups. The 1890s experienced the worst economic depression at that time. The Populist Platform advocated for ideas like free silver and women's suffrage. William Jennings Bryan and Mary Elizabeth Lease were important Populist figures. The Wizard of Oz can be seen as a political allegory representing these tensions through its characters. The Panic of 1893 exacerbated the economic problems, but recovery began before Congress passed relief measures as demand increased in Europe.

Weaknesses in the 1920s Economy
The 1920s economy had several key weaknesses according to the document. Income was unequally distributed, with most Americans living below the poverty line, while the top 5% earned a third of the wealth. Farming faced problems of low incomes, many foreclosures, and overproduction driving down prices. Old industries like textiles and coal declined as newer industries like oil emerged. High tariffs hurt trade. The stock market was overly speculative due to a lack of regulation, and the banking system was unstable with many small bank failures during the 1920s leading up to the crash. International debt also weakened the economies of countries like Britain and France.
1920's section 1 republican presidents
The document discusses the economic boom of the 1920s in the United States under Republican administrations. Republican presidents like Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover pursued policies of deregulation and non-intervention that spurred rapid business growth. A consumer economy emerged as Americans purchased new household goods and automobiles in increasing numbers, often on installment plans and credit. However, this period of prosperity was built on unstable economic foundations that would contribute to the stock market crash and Great Depression of 1929.
The 1920s Economy
The 1920s US economy saw high tariffs that boosted domestic industry but hurt farmers and trade, while tax cuts primarily benefited the wealthy. Regulations were reduced and businesses fixed prices. New technologies like the automobile and mass production grew industries and employment. However, easy credit, real estate speculation, and rampant stock market speculation built instability and left many in debt.
Populist party - Final use this!
The Populist movement arose in the late 19th century as farmers in the South and Midwest organized in response to economic hardship and lack of political representation of their interests. The movement gained some success in gaining votes and control in some states but ultimately failed to achieve its broader aims as it lost independence by merging with the Democrats and faced challenges from factors like the gold standard, new immigration, and an end to the agricultural depression. While short-lived as a political force, the Populist movement illustrated the impact of industrialization on farmers and paved the way for future progressive movements.
Populism
Populism emerged as a movement in response to economic struggles farmers faced after the Civil War. Various crises drove down crop prices while transportation and bank costs rose. The Greenback and silver policies caused inflation harming farmers. Farmers organized through the Grange and Farmers' Alliance to demand reforms like free silver coinage and regulation of railroads. This led to the formation of the Populist Party in the 1890s, which promoted farmers' interests and included women. Though short-lived, Populism drew attention to farmers' economic issues.
A Republican Decade (1920s)
The Red Scare of the early 1920s was fueled by labor strikes, anarchist bombings, and fears that communism from the new Soviet Union would spread to the United States. Attorney General Palmer ordered raids in 1920 that arrested thousands of suspected radicals, mostly immigrants, without evidence to try to root out communist influence. Major labor strikes in 1919 were a result of high costs of living and poor working conditions after World War 1. Under Republican presidents Harding and Coolidge, the 1920s saw tax cuts, high tariffs, laissez-faire policies toward business, and restrictions on immigration. Cultural issues like Prohibition, Catholicism, and urban vs rural divides influenced the election of 1928.
Populism
After the Civil War, overproduction by farmers led to declining crop prices and widespread farm debt. Farmers organized movements like the Grange and Farmers' Alliances to demand government action to stabilize prices through measures like tariffs, expanding the money supply, and free silver coinage. This populism culminated in the People's Party in the 1890s, which advocated these economic reforms and sought the eight hour work day and regulation of railroads and monopolies. The party selected William Jennings Bryan for president in 1896 on a free silver platform, but he lost to William McKinley as the nation moved to a gold standard. Populism declined by 1900 but brought attention to farmers' economic issues.
Industrial expansion8 5.5
Industrial development in South Carolina lagged behind the rest of the United States due to the planter elite's opposition to industry and preference for reviving the old South. The textile industry became important in South Carolina, with mills located near cotton fields and rivers. Mill villages provided housing and other amenities to attract poor farmers and laborers, though African Americans were excluded from traditional mill jobs. While mills offered employment, conditions were difficult, with long hours, low pay, diseases from the work environment, and accidents. Unions faced opposition from mill owners backed by the government. South Carolina later attracted northern mills by offering cheaper non-union labor and resources like phosphate rock and lumber.
Wallstreet Crash of 1929
The Wall Street Crash of 1929 began in late October 1929 and led to the Great Depression. Stock prices had been rising rapidly in the late 1920s as companies prospered in the post-WWI economic boom. However, overproduction led to falling profits, and investors began selling off their shares, causing prices to plummet. This triggered widespread panic selling and the crash, with stock prices falling over 20% in two days. The crash had devastating consequences as banks and companies failed, unemployment rose over 20 million, and the US economy severely contracted for years.
The gilded age
The Gilded Age brought both prosperity and problems to the United States. While industrialization and expansion created success, it also produced political corruption, poor social conditions, and unfair economic practices. Reforms addressed these issues through various new laws and organizations. The direct election of senators, civil service reforms, women's suffrage, housing codes, labor unions, and antitrust acts helped to solve political corruption, unsanitary cities, lack of representation, monopolies, and workers' rights issues plaguing the Gilded Age.
Populism
This document summarizes the Populist movement of the late 19th century, which advocated for struggling farmers in response to economic hardships they faced. Farmers were burdened by debt from mechanization, specialized crop farming, and natural disasters. The Populist Party and Grange cooperative movement supported policies to help farmers, including bimetallism to increase the money supply through silver coins. William Jennings Bryan campaigned for president in 1896 on a platform of "Free Silver" but lost, contributing to the decline of the Populist movement. The Wizard of Oz novel and characters symbolized Populist ideas and figures through allegory.
Populist Party
The Populist Party emerged in response to economic hardship faced by farmers in the late 19th century. Dissatisfied with high railroad rates, declining farm prices, and a currency backed solely by gold, the Populists advocated for bimetallism, regulation of monopolies, and land reform. Though the Populist candidate lost the 1892 and 1896 presidential elections, the party achieved some successes by electing members to state and federal offices and influencing other parties to adopt parts of their platform. Over time, Populist ideas like direct election of senators and women's suffrage were enacted as amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
The gilded age
The document summarizes political and social changes in the United States during the Gilded Age from 1876-1900. Millions of immigrants arrived from Europe and Asia, fleeing poverty and persecution. They faced difficult journeys and were processed through stations like Ellis Island. Nativist groups opposed immigration, leading to restrictions like the Chinese Exclusion Act. Political machines controlled cities by providing jobs and services to immigrants in exchange for votes. Corruption was rampant, as seen with Tammany Hall and the Tweed Ring. The Gilded Age was a period of vast wealth inequality and the growth of "robber barons" but also the beginning of reforms like civil service laws.
Musiciansjazzage
On October 29, 1929, known as Black Tuesday, the Wall Street stock market crash occurred as investors began panic selling. Over 16 million shares were sold on Black Tuesday alone, causing stock prices to drop 13% and marking the beginning of the Great Depression. In the preceding weeks and months, stock prices had reached unsustainable heights in a speculative bubble, fueled by margin buying with money borrowed from brokers. The crash devastated both individual investors and financial institutions, and the stock exchange closed temporarily to prevent further panic selling from worsening the crisis.
Sectionalism84.2
Sectionalism arose from growing racial tensions between the North and South. The Denmark Vesey slave revolt plot in 1822 increased fears in the South of a large-scale slave uprising. Southern states passed increasingly restrictive slave codes in response. Meanwhile, the abolitionist movement grew in the North, calling for an end to slavery nationwide. These events exacerbated differences between the regions and strengthened sectional identities, leading to political conflicts over the expansion of slavery into new states.
Canada in the 1970s chap 5
Canada faced several economic challenges in the 1970s including high inflation, rising oil prices from OPEC, and Western discontent over Trudeau's National Energy Program. Trudeau implemented policies to promote Canadian culture through media while loosening immigration restrictions and adopting multiculturalism to integrate new immigrants from diverse backgrounds. However, some economic ties with the US became strained and Western provinces felt alienated by energy and pricing policies.
6.4 populism
The document summarizes the rise of the Populist movement among struggling farmers in the late 19th century United States. Farmers faced issues like mechanization, overspecialization of crops, natural disasters, and control of the money supply by large banks and railroads. This led to the formation of groups like the Grange to advocate for farmers' rights. As conditions worsened, the Populist Party emerged calling for reforms like free silver coinage to inflate the currency and help debt-ridden farmers. Their candidate William Jennings Bryan campaigned on this platform in 1896, though the Populists ultimately faded after Republicans won the presidency.
FARMERS AND THOSE OUT OF THE BOOM
While many Americans prospered during the economic boom of the 1920s, farmers struggled with overproduction and declining prices. The combination of improved farming techniques, more land under cultivation, and a decreasing population led to more food being produced than could be sold. As a result, farm prices dropped by 50% in 1921 and hundreds of rural banks collapsed, causing financial hardship for many farmers. At the same time, workers in other industries like coal, textiles and leather faced unemployment as new technologies disrupted their sectors and foreign competition increased.
Politics 1920s
The 1920s in America saw significant social and economic changes. After World War I, the US experienced a period of isolationism, increased nativism, and fears over communism. Congress passed quotas limiting immigration from southern and eastern Europe. The Red Scare led to discrimination against radicals. The Ku Klux Klan grew rapidly during this period. Economically, the country saw widespread labor unrest and strikes. The automobile industry boomed, profoundly transforming infrastructure and society. By the late 1920s, many Americans believed the prosperity would continue indefinitely, but some problems were emerging in businesses and agriculture. Herbert Hoover was elected president in 1928 on promises of continued prosperity.
Lecture 3 (1)
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the US became a leading industrial power as steel, oil and other industries boomed, making some businessmen very wealthy. Mass immigration from Europe provided workers for these industries. However, half of industrial workers still lived in poverty. The economic prosperity of the 1920s turned to crisis with the 1929 stock market crash, known as "Black Thursday", which led to thousands of bank failures, soaring unemployment, and depressed farm incomes and wages in the ensuing Great Depression.
