1 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Standard USHC 4: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the industrial development and the consequences of that development on society and politics during the second half of the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries.

2 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Westward Expansion After 1865 USHC 4.1 Summarize the impact that government policy and the construction of the transcontinental railroads had on the development of the national market and on the culture of Native American peoples

3 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. During and after the Civil War, the U.S. entered a period of rapid economic growth and westward expansion fostered by government policies that:  Created a national market  Threatened cultural survival of Indians The Civil War marked a turning point in transportation Railroad construction caused tension as North and South fought for routes to the Pacific Ocean  Kansas-Nebraska Act had been passed in order to provide a route west for the railroad

4 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Central Pacific headed east--Union Pacific headed west The goal was to build a transcontinental railroad linking the East and the West. They met in 1869 at Promontory, Utah The government supported a transcontinental railroad through loans and land grants. Transcontinental Railroads

5 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. They were free to pass laws that reflected their understanding of the role of the national government Passed Land Grants that promoted the building of transcontinental railroads by providing both a route and land to sell to raise capital (Money) for building tracks The Homestead Act: Law granting western farm land to settlers for free as long as they created a home and farm  Promoted growth of the west and the national economy How the Civil War Helped Railroads The absence of many Southern Democrats in Congress (they joined C.S.A.) during Civil War allowed Republicans to pass laws much easier

6 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Like miners and ranchers, farmers also moved west, looking for a better life Railroad companies encouraged pioneer settlement. So did the government Under the 1862 Homestead Act: the government gave land to farmers willing to tend it Easterners, Exodusters (Blacks who moved to Kansas), and immigrants soon poured onto the Great Plains

9 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. The Transcontinental Railroad: Fostered a national market by linking all of the country Access for farmers and ranchers to markets in the east Access for emerging industries to the natural resources of the west Transcontinental Railroad

10 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Native American Struggles Railroads hurt Native Americans by altering their way of life and disrupting their culture  Because the buffalo posed a threat to the tracks, the railroad encouraged the killing of the bison  Plains Indian, could no longer sustain themselves Whites attracted to free land with access to markets US government violated treaties and responded to resistance with military force

11 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Just as the Trail of Tears moved eastern tribes, a similar policy was followed for western tribes Forced to agree to treaties that moved them onto smaller reservations, and taken advantage of by agents Some resisted but were pursued in series of Indian Wars Others agreed, only to be driven from the reservations because of the discovery of some precious mineral Forced Relocations

12 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Criticisms of the U.S. policy of breaking treaties with the Native Americans resulted in a change of policy New policy attempted to foster assimilation into society Tribal lands were divided into farming parcels  Did not match cultural habits of tribal ownership of lands  Indians did not know how to be farmers  As a result, many Indians lost the land to whites Assimilation Policy

13 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Replaced reservation system with an allotment system Granted each Indian family a plot of land Specified the land could not be sold for 25 years In 1887, Congress passed the Dawes General Allotment (Severalty) Act to encourage assimilation Dawes General Allotment Act

14 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. In an attempt to promote assimilation; Indian children were taken and sent to boarding schools in the east:  Taught English and how to dress and act like white Americans, thus losing their cultural heritage Attempts to revive their traditions, such as the Ghost Dance, were viewed as a threat by the Army and…  Resulted in a massacre at Wounded Knee, SD Native Americans were left in poverty and cultural decline, without a voice in America’s democracy Impact of Assimilation Policies

15 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Native Americans were forced to assimilate. Before and after entering the Carlisle Indian School

16 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Sand Creek Massacre (1864): Colorado militia came across peaceful Cheyenne Indians and killed over 200 Sioux Indians defeated General Custer at the Battle of little Big Horn (1876), later led to their slaughter Wounded Knee, S.D. (1890): After killing Sitting Bull, they chased others to Wounded Knee and killed more than 100 The Indian Wars were over after Wounded Knee. To end the Ghost Dance, the government attempted to arrest Sitting Bull…but ended up killing him Indian Massacres Sitting Bull Lakota (Sioux) Indians

19 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. USHC-4.2 Analyze the factors that influenced the economic growth of the United States and its emergence as an industrial power, including the abundance of natural resources; government support and protection in the form of railroad subsidies, tariffs, and labor policies; and the expansion of international markets. Gilded Age: 1870 to 1898…Period marked by the growth of Industry and wealth which supported materialism and political corruption The beginning of the Industrial Age in the United States is MOST associated with the late 1800s

20 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. U.S. entered a period of rapid economic growth (boom)  Due in part to government policies that contributed to changes in the factors of production Factors that contribute to economic growth are: land, labor, capital, technology and entrepreneurship Government’s role in Economic Growth

21 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. LABOR: human effort used in production (physical & mental effort) Technology: enables companies to maintain & improve upon their competitive edge Entrepreneur organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise LAND: all of the natural resources used in production Capital: $ invested In the business; tools, machinery

22 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Economic growth started in the first half of the century It was fostered by both government actions and changes in each of the factors of production The government plays an important role in providing the business environment for entrepreneurs: 1.The national bank provided needed capital (Money) and somewhat regulated lending 2.Expansion to the West was promoted by government actions through purchase, treaties and war 3.Opened up a region rich in natural resources such as coal and iron ore 4.Removed or controlled Native Americans Government’s role in Economic Growth

23 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. The growth of business was supported by court decisions: 1.Upheld the sanctity of contracts 2.Passed patent laws: protected the rights of inventors 3.Regulated interstate commerce 4.Protected infant industries with a protective tariff Pre-Civil War technological changes: One of the most important advances: Invention of the Steam Engine: steamboat, oil drilling and railroads Policies to foster economic growth were promoted by the Republican Party: Passed laws which helped westward expansion by: offering subsidies in the form of land grants to railroads Gave free land to settlers (Homestead Act) Government’s role in Economic Growth

24 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. 1.The reorganization of banking fostered a more secure financial climate 2.War contracts further stimulated the economy 3.Protected settlers in the West from Indians 4.Tariffs raised to protect industry from foreign competition 5.Labor policies promoted the interests of business Government’s role in Economic Growth

25 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Chinese Exclusion Act: passed after the completion of the railroad when workers were no longer desired As workers began to organize into unions and strike, the government took the side of management  Sent federal troops to break up strikes and jail strikers Supported the interest of Big Business, not workers Wages depressed by the supply of unskilled immigrants Organization into unions was hurt by government actions Government’s role in helping Business Promoted open immigration to supply workers

26 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Although high tariffs protected jobs, they did not support consumers because prices were kept high Industrial growth led to a surplus of products  These surpluses led the government to support expansion of international markets through foreign policy initiatives: 1.Expanded territorial influence 2.Protected American investments abroad (overseas) 3.Promoted trade Government’s role in Economic Growth

27 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. REVIEW (USHC-4.2) 1.The U.S. entered a period of economic growth due in part to…?

29 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. USHC-4.3 Evaluate the role of capitalism and its impact on democracy, including the ascent of new industries, the increasing availability of consumer goods and the rising standard of living, the role of entrepreneurs, the rise of business through monopoly and the influence of business ideologies

30 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Capitalism has played a central role in the development of the U.S. economy since the first settlers landed Capitalism is: an economic system characterized by private ownership of property and the use of that property to make a profit  Capitalism supports the democratic ideal of individual freedom and opportunity Capitalism = Private Ownership & Profit

31 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Corporations promoted industrialization before the Civil War by raising capital (money) through the sale of stock In the post-Civil War period, corporations became larger and more powerful through mergers and monopoly and had a greater influence on the economy, and government  Merger: Combining two businesses into one  Monopoly: Exclusive control of a commodity or service Critics questioned the compatibility of large unfettered (Uncontrolled) corporations and the rights of workers and consumers in a democracy  Can we trust them to do what’s right? Corporations Corporation: a company or group of people authorized to act as a single entity (legally a person) recognized by law

32 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Railroad was the economic engine that drove the economy Transcontinental routes helped to unite the country and promoted economic growth and the development of a National Market (Sell your products anywhere in the US) Need for steel rails, wooden railroad ties and railroad cars and its ability to transport goods contributed to the growth of these industries and many others (Coal, Oil, etc.) The Railroad drove the Economy Railroad Car

33 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Railroads got settlers through advertising and land sales  Railroads also provided farmers access to markets New towns grew along routes and older ones were able to specialize in particular products Competition caused railroads to merge to survive When competition drove companies into bankruptcy; the economy was thrown into depression The Railroad Drove the Economy

35 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Entrepreneurs used new technologies and new business tactics to create large corporations to control their industry The Bessemer process (making steel) and astute business practices prompted the rise of Andrew Carnegie:  Controlled the steel industry through a Vertical Integration of his business that gave him a monopoly o Controlled all aspects of the steel industry from the mining of iron ore and coal, to the steel mill Entrepreneurs Andrew Carnegie

36 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. NOTE: Rockefeller is most known for running Standard Oil He used various tactics to gain control of the oil industry He undersold the market (extra-low prices) to drive out competition and then increased the price of oil Initiated business device known as the trust to gain control of oil refining through a Horizontal Integration  One of the main reasons he succeeded was that he combined vertical and horizontal integration After the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, Rockefeller turned to the holding company to continue his monopoly John D. Rockefeller

37 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.

38 Critics wondered if the so-called “Robber Barons” were protected too much by the government Robber Barons or Captains of Industry? Unfettered (uncontrolled) competition led to economic uncertainty; depressions and a public call for government regulation of monopolies Voters pressured Congress to assert limited control on Big Business through the Sherman Anti-Trust Act Entrepreneurs

39 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Concerns of the public over the political power of monopolies contributed to the Progressive Movement Public concerns over monopoly were offset by the popularity of pro-business ideologies Captains of industry justified their use of cut-throat practices with the ideologies of…  Social Darwinism (survival of the fittest) and…  Laissez Faire capitalism (Government kept hands off) o But they wanted government protection against labor and high tariffs to protect their monopolies Laissez = LAZY

40 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Horatio Alger stories of “rags to riches” provided support for myth that anyone could make it if they worked hard Carnegie improved his public image with his Gospel of Wealth. Gave away millions to libraries and universities  Gospel of Wealth: “Man who dies rich dies disgraced” John D. Rockefeller was also a philanthropist, especially after his business practices came under public scrutiny and the threat of anti-trust action Despite the higher prices that monopolies charged, the period ushered in a rise in the standard of living and new consumer products for many Americans

41 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. The harnessing of electricity and the invention of the typewriter and the telephone:  Provided: new opportunities for women in the workplace and new conveniences in the home Deflation and mass production lowered the price of goods Some, including farmers and factory workers, did not enjoy this improved standard of living because of:  Low prices for their crops and low wages for their labor

45 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. 4.3 Summary / New Information (Page 2) 1.Captains of industry justified practices with the ideologies of Social Darwinism and laissez faire capitalism 2.Horatio Alger stories supported myth that anyone could make it 3.Andrew Carnegie improved his public image with the Gospel of Wealth (G.O.W.) and gave away millions to libraries and universities. 4.G.O.W. says: Wealth helps society and govt` should not interfere 5.Rockefeller was philanthropist, after public scrutiny/anti-trust threat 6.Despite the higher prices, had a rise in the standard of living 7.Electricity, the typewriter and the telephone: gave opportunity to women in the workplace and new conveniences at home 8.Invention of the light bulb extended work hours in factories 9.Deflation and mass production lowered prices 10. Andrew Carnegie and JP Morgan both led the Steel industry 11. Best impact of industrialization was a large supply of cheap labor 12. Horizontal Integration: acquiring (take over) competing business 13. Industrial Age beginnings most associated with the late 1800s 14. Industrialization resulted in corporations controlling the economy 15. 19 th century industrialization is most associated with urbanization

46 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Farmers and workers formed political organizations to influence the government and claim greater political leverage and economic well-being for themselves Populist Party = created for Farmers and workers USHC-4.4 Explain the impact of industrial growth and business cycles on farmers, workers, immigrants, labor unions, and the Populist movement and the ways that these groups and the government responded to the economic problems caused by industry and business

47 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Objectives: 1.Discuss basic economic terminology such as supply and demand, inflation, deflation, recession, and depression 2.Describe agricultural advances seen by farmers in the mid-late 19 th century 3.Students will be able to identify some of the problems facing farmers, including railroad rates, lack of capital, and climate Responses to the Industrial Revolution

48 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Understanding Influence of Supply and Demand on prices: As a result of technology like steel plows, and land in the West, farmers produced an abundance of cash crops  Supply exceeded demand and the price fell As a result of lower profits: Farmers were unable to make payments on equipment loans, so equipment was repo’d Farmers’ Response: First responded by planting more; however, the greater the supply, the more prices fell Supply and Demand  Supply = item to sell  Demand = people wanting to by the item

49 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Farmers organize politically by electing representatives to state legislatures Farmers blamed railroads and banks for hurting profits  Railroads because of high prices to ship goods to market and to store crops prior to shipment  States tried to help by passing laws, known as Granger Laws, to regulate railroad prices  Supreme Court said states could not regulate prices for transportation across state lines because only the federal government can regulate interstate commerce o Supreme Court case: Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) Farmers Organized Politically

50 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. In response to farmers, Congress passed the Interstate Commerce Act to control railroad rates and practices  This set a precedent for regulation of business However, in a series of cases, the Supreme Court severely limited the effectiveness of this law  Just as they did with the Sherman Anti-Trust Act Federal Government Action

51 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. REVIEW (USHC-4.4 part 1) 1.How did farmers and workers respond to the influence of big business?

A.Railroads 8.How did states try to affect railroad prices and what was the Supreme Courts response? A.Granger Laws…ruled unconstitutional 9.How did Congress help farmers and how did the Courts respond? A.Interstate Commerce Act…Freight Rate cases

52 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Farmers attempted to influenced the government through the Populist movement: The Populist Party supported:  The regulation of railroads and banking  Inflationary currency in the form of the free and unlimited coinage of silver, which Populists argued would help them get higher prices for their goods Populist Party (also called “The People’s Party) Populist Party = created for Farmers and workers

53 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Populist Party supported Government reforms to protect democracy from the influence of Big Business such as:  Popular election of Senators, the secret ballot, and a graduated income tax  Farmers attempted to ally with workers by advocating an 8-hour work day and restrictions on immigration Successful in electing Senators, Governors and State Legislators in the South and West…  But failed to win the presidency The Populist Party (continued) Populist Party = created for Farmers and workers

54 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Union: Organized association of workers formed to protect their rights and interests The Gilded Age saw the greatest movement toward organization, caused by deteriorating working conditions:  Long hours  Low wages  Unsafe working conditions  Changing composition of the work force (women, blacks) Unions (Labor Unions) Workers’ attempts to join together to protect themselves resulted in the development of unions

55 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Forced long hours and unsafe working conditions so management can hold down the cost of production The law of supply and demand was applied to labor:  More immigrants plus women and children; along with dispossessed farmers…all drove down wages  They paid people less because many willing to take it During the 1890s only 45% of unskilled workers (YOU TODAY!) earned more than $500 a year (poverty line) Management’s Role Pursuit of profit caused management to treat workers as replaceable cogs in the wheels of production

56 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Unemployment, injury and death were a constant threat  Labor unions developed to address these conditions Although unions advocated arbitration and opposed the strike, wildcat walkouts were blamed on the union Striking when others were seeking work undermined the effectiveness of the strike Prejudice native workers often resented foreign workers and wanted restrictions on immigration Public prejudices against ethnic groups created prejudices against labor organizations Closed Shop: Workplaces in which employers can only hire union members. This increased ability to negotiate Workers try to take Action

57 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Management used recent immigrants and African Americans as ‘scabs’ to break the strikes Management also did the following to control workers:  Employed private security forces  Economic pressure through: company ownership of homes and company stores  ‘yellow dog’ contracts (must promise not to join a union)  Blacklisting (telling other owners who not to hire them) Management’s Response How do you think this affected people’s views of African Americans and immigrants?

58 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. REVIEW (USHC-4.4 part 2) 1.What movement came from farmers and workers?

60 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Local and national government took the side of management, protecting their property by putting down strikes and arresting strikers: Government used military troops in major labor incidents: These strikes proved: the government cared more about business than labor (workers)  The Railroad Strike of 1877  The Haymarket Incident  The Pullman strike  Pinkerton Detectives Federal Government’s Role Need four Groups to research and present these

61 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. As a result of violence during strikes, union members were associated with dangerous foreign radicals such as:  Socialists: Business is publically controlled & regulated  Communists: Property publically owned/pay by abilities  Anarchists: Absence, or nonrecognition, of any authority Nativist prejudices created animosity (hatred) towards labor organizations (included many immigrants) The arrest of the leader of the Pullman Strike led to the Supreme Court applying Sherman Anti-Trust Act to unions  This act, designed to control Big Business, was used against workers’ unions at the same time the court was finding that it could not be applied to Big Business Federal Government’s Role (continued)

62 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Organization of workers into craft unions of skilled workers led to success, through collective bargaining on bread and butter issues of wages, hours and conditions  Collective Bargaining: Negotiation of wages and other conditions, by an organized body of employees Skilled workers were more difficult to replace and so the threat of strike was more effective The average hours were still longer than the desired 8- hour day and wages were still very low Union effectiveness was undermined by the small number of workers who joined unions, 4% by 1900 Craft Unions

63 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. The National Labor Union did not allow blacks so they formed their own: the Colored National Labor Union Labor unions were neither socialist nor communist, but association in the public mind of unions with socialism undermined the effectiveness of unions Cultural perceptions such as the Horatio Alger myth and Social Darwinism hurt sympathy from the middle class By the end of the 19th century, unions were not successful in changing workplace abuses. Due to: 1.Public perception of them as dangerous 2.Government support of Big Business Unions

64 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Election of 1896 was pivotal for farmers and workers  Featured William McKinley v. William Jennings Bryan The main issue was “soft” money (bills) versus “hard” money (coins) and bimetallism (Silver & Gold) vs. Gold  Underlying issue: who the government would protect: bankers and businessmen or farmers and laborers Featured Bryan’s “Cross of Gold” speech (in support of bimetallism), Front Porch campaign of William McKinley, the role of Big Business in securing McKinley’s election Workers voted for the Republican Party because they feared for their jobs and did not support an inflationary monetary policy that would raise the price of food  Republican William McKinley supported Gold Standard Election of 1896 (Gold vs. Silver & Gold)

65 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Farmers and workers were unsuccessful in using the democratic process (elections) to solve their economic problems because…  They failed to appeal to the growing middle class Their problems continued into the 20th century and were somewhat addressed by policies of the Progressive Era Fell onto hard times again in the 1920s with the policies of Republican presidents and depression Their issues were eventually addressed during the Great Depression (1930s) in the New Deal Farmers and Workers

69 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. 4.4 Summary / New Information 1.Farmers and workers formed political organizations to influence the government and claim greater political leverage and economic well- being for themselves. 2.Influence of supply and demand on prices. 3.As a result of innovations like the steel plow, American farmers produced a surplus…supply exceeded demand and prices fell. 4.Farmers first responded by planting more then by organizing politically 5.Farmers blamed railroads for high storage and shipping prices 6.State legislatures passed “Granger” Laws to regulate railroad rates but Supreme Court said only the Feds could regulate Interstate Commerce 7.In response, Congress passed the Interstate Commerce Act to control railroad practices, setting a precedent for regulation of business by the government…Supreme Court limited the effectiveness of this law 8.Farmers tried to influence the govt through the Populist movement. The Populist Party supported: the regulation of railroads and banking, unlimited coinage of silver, the popular election of Senators, the secret ballot, and a graduated income tax.

70 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. 4.4 Summary / New Information (Page 2) 1.Farmers attempted to ally with workers by advocating an eight-hour day and restrictions on immigration. 2.Workers’ tried to protect themselves by creating unions. 3.The Gilded Age saw the greatest movement toward organization, fostered by, long hours, low wages and unsafe working conditions, and the changing composition of the work force. 4.Pursuit of profit caused management to treat workers as replaceable 5.Long hours and unsafe conditions resulted from management’s attempt to hold down the cost of production. 6.Law of supply and demand was applied to labor as immigrants came 7.Unemployment, injury and death were a constant threat 8.Striking when others were seeking employment undermined strikes 9.Management used immigrants and blacks as ‘scabs’ to end strikes 10.Management hired security forces, exercised economic pressure as well as ‘yellow dog’ contracts and blacklisting to control the workers 11. Government sided with management by putting down strikes and arresting strikers. Examples include: the Railroad Strike of 1877, the Haymarket Incident and the Pullman strike. 12. As a result of violence during strikes, unions were associated with foreign radicals such as socialists, communists and anarchists.

71 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. 4.4 Summary / New Information (Page 3) 1.Nativist prejudices created animosity towards labor organizations. 2.Arrest of the Pullman strike leader, led to the Supreme Court’s application of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act to unions. 3.Organization into craft unions led to some success through use of collective bargaining on the “bread and butter” issues of wages, hours and conditions because skilled workers were more difficult to replace 4.Union effectiveness hurt by the small number of workers joining union 5.19th century labor unions were neither socialist nor communist 6.Unions were not successful due to public perception of them as dangerous and to government support of Big Business. 7.1896 election was pivotal for farmers and workers because the underlying issue was which groups the government would protect 8.The main issue of the 1896 election was “soft” money versus “hard” money, and bimetallism vs. gold 9.William Jennings Bryan is famous for his “Cross of Gold” speech 10. In the 1896 election, workers voted for the Republican Party because they feared for their jobs and because they did not support an inflationary monetary policy that would raise the price of food. 11. Farmers and workers were unsuccessful in using elections to solve their problems because they failed to appeal to the middle class. 12. Farmers’ and workers’ issues were eventually addressed during the Great Depression in the New Deal.

72 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. As immigration increased, immigrants sought ways to participate in the democratic (voting) process Cities developed as a result of geographic factors:  First as centers of trade…  Then as transportation hubs…  Finally, with the beginning use of electricity, as centers of industrial production in the 19th century USHC-4.5 Explain the causes and effects of urbanization in late nineteenth-century America, including the movement from farm to city, the changing immigration patterns, the rise of ethnic neighborhoods, the role of political machines, and the migration of African Americans to the North, Midwest, and West Industrialization caused Urbanization

74 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Cities grew as people immigrated from abroad and migrated from the farm to the city Farm technology played a role as farmers:  Produced more and sold it for less  Defaulted on loans  Lost their land and moved to the cities to find work Others came because of rich cultural life and excitement Majority of the American people still lived outside of urban areas before 1920 Why City Populations Grew The Statute of Liberty was the first site that greeted many immigrants arriving at Ellis Island…the reception center for those arriving by ship

75 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. In the late 19th century, immigration patterns changed as more immigrants came from Southern and Eastern Europe Nativism increased as Italians, Poles, Jews and Russians came to dominate immigration A movement to restrict immigration through a literacy test was not successful until the 1920s Immigration Patterns & Nativism

76 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Many established immigrants helped the newly arrived to find jobs and housing  This impacted city politics as people voted for whoever found them jobs and helped them through hard times Although many political bosses were corrupt and used graft and bribery in awarding city contracts, they also helped immigrants to adapt, in exchange for their votes Ethnic neighborhoods grew because many immigrants were too poor to move beyond the port cities  Also popular due to fear of anti-immigrant attacks Immigrants: Ethnic Neighborhoods

77 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. The power immigrant groups gave the urban political machine allowed city bosses to solve problems despite abuses from city bosses like New York’s Boss Tweed Crowded cities led to problems with: housing, sanitation, transportation, water, crime and fire Immigrants The Progressive Movement developed as a result of the need to address: Urban Problems and Political Corruption

78 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Most freedmen stayed in the South after the Civil War In the 1890s, the migration of African-Americans from the South was the result of:  Poor cotton yields and the boll weevil bugs  Jim Crow laws, intimidation and lynchings As prices for farm products fell, African Americans moved to the cities for job opportunities African Americans leave the South However jobs in mill towns of the South were not open to them So African Americans headed to the West in search of land and to the cities of the North and Midwest

79 TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. African Americans found discrimination in the cities:  Often the last hired and the first fired  Used as strikebreakers (Scabs), therefore they suffered the resentment of striking workers  Relegated to (forced to live in) the least desirable parts of the city in segregated neighborhoods Move of black culture to North and Midwest cities resulted in a cultural renaissance after World War I African Americans in the City Great Migration: Movement of blacks from the south during World War I era as more jobs became available
