Eventually they would move from the central city to escape the pollution. The working class: People who lived and worked in an urban environment, their major goal was to own a home. Lived in dark multi family apartments., Known as tenements.

33. Tenement houses As some in society were allowed to thrive and be comfortable falling under social Darwinism, most of the city population were poor immigrants.

40. Social Darwinism A gentlemen by the name of Herbert Spencer took Charles Darwin’s idea of evolution and applied it to American society. This theory backed the concept of Laissez Faire and explained the social classes. People were simply poor, because they could not adapt to change as well as the rich.

This was known as the spoil system This meant you could be chief of police just because you were good friends with the governor. This meant party bosses could control cities completely.

45. Pendleton Act James Garfield was elected President, when he came to office he tried to cut his ties with the powerful political machines of New York Garfield was asked by Charles J.

47. Cause for economic downfall During the war the government increased the money supply by issuing greenbacks. These could not be exchanged for gold or silver. Due to a lack of products this would cause inflation. Eventually the government gave the farmers options to help deal with this. By 1895 the farmers would be hit by a period of deflation.

48. The government takes action again The department of agriculture sent Oliver Kelley to investigate the farming area. Started the grange program to help with farming and education. This idea worked until the country fell into a recession.

49. To try and deal with the recession the grangers developed cooperatives. Cooperatives: A marketing organization that tried to increase prices and lower the costs of their members for crops. These tactics continued to fail.

50. Farmers alliance The alliance forms as Granges collapse Consists of around 3 million members. The plan was to build large groups of farms to try and force down the price of goods, and obtain loans.

51. Rise of the people As farming plans begin to fail a number of farmers formed the People’s party. The party existed to elect members of congress that would support farmers. Many were concerned that this group would hurt the democrat party.
