Explanation: They no longer had to marry young
Andrew Jackson's term as president (1829-1837) began a new era in American politics. For the first time in the United States history a man born in humble circumstances was now President. Politicians in the previous generations gained precedence due to their family background, wealth, prestige, and education. Families such the Adams, and the Jeffersons constituted the guidelines for political appointees. Andrew Jackson’s election showed that a mans’ lineage did not ensure a place in office. Rather it was the candidate’s ability to appeal to the voter. It was Jackson’s election that started the supposed 'age of the common man'. Jackson became the defining figure of his age due to his ability to overcome early life struggles, his military record, and his successes as an adult. Despite all his accomplishments, Jackson downplayed his past successes to suit the public's belief that Jackson was one of them. In reality Jackson was anything but common. i hope it works
Answer:
The Gilded Age (c.1870 to 1900) was sandwiched between the Civil War and the Progressive Era, two periods in which politics “really mattered.” In contrast, the intervening decades seem to offer only lessonsin disillusionment and cynicism. The end of Reconstruction left a sorry mess in the South; the Homestead Act and railroad grants culminated in a Western bust, followed by a massive depression in the 1890s that failed to evoke a New Deal. The Populist movement collapsed, and Republicans’ crowning achievements were a high tariff and maintenance of the gold standard. There are, however, other ways to teach Gilded-Age politics, perhaps even to recapture its excitement, while at the same time teaching social history. Political cartoons flourished in these years, partly because of new technologies of mass circulation but also because of the intensity—even viciousness—of partisan debate. Such cartoons reflected the society that produced them, with references ranging from the Bible to the nationwide bicycle craze. They vividly represent the prejudices of the white, Protestant, middle-class majority, and of regional and partisan factions within that majority. The following analyses of cartoons from an article entitled “The Corrupting of New York City” by Peter Baida and those found in The American Pageant, Chapters 23 & 24 reveal key issues at stake during this era. FYI Significant Political Cartoonists of the Gilded Age • Thomas Nast of Harpers Weekly** • Joseph Keppler of Puck* • Frank Beard of The Ram’s Horn* • Eugene Zimmerman of Judge* • Grant Hamilton, Bernhard Gilliam, James Wales, W.A. Rogers, & Frederick Opper

Answer:
World powers contributed more troops to United Nations peacekeeping forces
Explanation:
According to both Source 1 and Source 2, it is described that the UN peacekeeping has come under increased scrutiny based on how they acted or failed to act in peacekeeping missions.
In Source 2, Rwandan professor Joseph Nsengimana spoke on how the UN soldiers allowed the local militia to maim and murder over 3 million people in the Rwandan genocide and how they let the Rwandan people down.
The events described in Source 2 influenced world powers’ stance on foreign intervention in the late 1990s and early 2000s by making them contribute more troops to United Nations peacekeeping forces.
