Answer:
1. Oil had many functional uses such as cooking, heating, and lighting. For example, oil lamps used oil and were a great source of lighting during that time.
2. Crude is another word for unprocessed, or unfiltered oil (oil that is not ready for use).
3. Refineries were used to process or "filter" the oil to make it useful without emitting more dangerous gases to people using oil.
<u>Patronage, or spoils system, allowed people to work on jobs they were not qualified for.</u> The misuse of influence gave jobs to friends and family instead of skilled workers, which contributed to government incompetence and fraud. It wasn't until 1883 that the Pendleton Act put the patronage system to an end and a merit-based system was established.
