The correct answer is:

B) political corruption.    

Muckrakers were reformist American journalists who denounced corrupt institutions and leaders and played a highly visible role during the Progressive Era period (1890s-1920s).

Muckraking magazines took on corporate monopolies and political machines while trying to raise public awareness and anger at urban poverty, unsafe working conditions, prostitution, cattle processing, and meat packing; patent medicines, and child labor.

As a result of their efforts, child labor laws were rewritten, food and medicine were protected for consumers and rules for fair business practices were established.

Write a letter to the founding fathers. Tell them at least 3 things that are different and similar to their time.
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Dear Founding Fathers;

Our country, much like previous times, is divided. We can only hope to take your past examples and implement measures to close this gaping chasm that has since spread between our people. Our society, though different in the way in which we dress and behave, is very similar in our basic princiapls. We still believe in equality, thogh some may be trying to belittle that law, just as much as we believe in the greatness of America. We have, however, lost sight of your warnings about foreign policies. We have begun to mess with other countries, sometimes to our downfall. Our country, so small and inncoent before, has since gained a knowledge and power rivaled by not to many other countries. Our country, despite our differences, is just as great as when you first declared the unification of these 50 states.

Which does not describe an economic problem facing the US at the end of the civil war?
Harman [31]
The Civil War has been something of an enigma for scholars studying American history. During the first half of the twentieth century, historians viewed the war as a major turning point in American economic history. Charles Beard labeled it “Second American Revolution,” claiming that “at bottom the so-called Civil War – was a social war, ending in the unquestioned establishment of a new power in the government, making vast changes – in the course of industrial development, and in the constitution inherited from the Fathers” (Beard and Beard 1927: 53). By the time of the Second World War, Louis Hacker could sum up Beard’s position by simply stating that the war’s “striking achievement was the triumph of industrial capitalism” (Hacker 1940: 373). The “Beard-Hacker Thesis” had become the most widely accepted interpretation of the economic impact of the Civil War. Harold Faulkner devoted two chapters to a discussion of the causes and consequences of the war in his 1943 textbook American Economic History (which was then in its fifth edition), claiming that “its effects upon our industrial, financial, and commercial history were profound” (1943: 340).
