Gilded Age (1870 - 1900s)

Corruption during Reconstruction

Can you reflect on events that demonstrate corruption during this time period?
Document shows "Tilden or Blood" which basically was the rally cry for democrats for their candidate Tilden who exposed boss
Tweed. Ends up with Hayes winning the election, but Hayes compromises and allows reconstruction to end.

(People, Events, Vocabulary)?

What are the top three "BAGPIPE" themes you see in this Unit?
People (Migration / Settlement) - We see how immigrants from eastern and southern Europe coming over into America and
helped serve as cheap labor in the factories during this time period. This also saw a rise of nativism as immigrants were seen
as taking jobs and willing to work for lower wages than native born people.
Power (Political / Social) - We see how monopolies were able to garner vast economic power and then utilize their monetary
assets to amass political power at all levels of government. We also saw a rise of political machines which were supported by
certain social classes (immigrants).
Economy - The gilded age at first looks prosperous, as the economy was doing well due to the output and manufacturing of
the factories. However, most of the wealth in the economy were controlled by a few while the common people who worked in
the factories and produced the goods and services were poor.

Major Features of Presidency:

Political: Did not give out positions from the spoils system, but his loyalty to people whom he had worked with in the past lead
to many mediocre appointments.

used during the civil war.

Major Features of Presidency:

Economic: Advocated in money backed by gold believing that the panic of 1873 was due to inflation of paper money. Built up
the federal gold supply.
Social: Appropriated several million dollars per year to support Natives who had been forced out of their land into reservations.
Also wanted to civilize the natives into mainstream culture.

How did he die?

 - Charles Guiteau shot him to get Chester Arthur president.
What faction of the Republican party did he belong to?
 - Stalwart
What happened as a result?
- Arthur became president, although he was originally a half breed he changed views to a stalwart when he got the presidency.

His main policy was called the big stick policy. He believed firmly that he needed to imperialism first and expand. Panama canal
started construction under him, there was even a tour where he showed Japan the might of the US sea power.

Domestic Policy:
Most of Roosevelt's' domestic policy revolved around trust busting, he called it the square deal. He was trying to rid the country
of evil corporations that existed just make money. This would upset many people throughout his presidency because he wasn't
busting all the trusts. He also worked to conserve land and natural resources. He would do this by creating national parks and
appointing a head of the forestry department.

Major Features of Presidency:

Foreign Policy:
Taft was the opposite of Roosevelt with the big stick policy, he believed in dollar diplomacy and "investing" in other nations
economy. Many Americans did not like this though it was much more effective.

His policy was mostly consisting of stronger anti trust laws and undoing what Roosevelt did during his presidency. This would
in turn cause Roosevelt to run against him in his own political party.

He focused less on trust busting and more on regulating the economy. Under his presidency there would be an eight our work
day established and the outlawing of child labor. With the passing of the 16th amendment he would also Implement a stronger
excise tax among several other taxes.

The treaty of Versailles was the treaty signed that ended the war. This formed the league of nations which was essentially a
