History

Mary Elizabeth Lease (1850-1933) was a lecturer, political activist and author involved with the suffrage movement, the temperance movement and the People's Party (Populists).

After 1874, Lease moved to Wichita, Kansas with her family and in 1888, she began working with the Union Labor Party and then with the People's Party. She was known as a powerful and popular orator and the farmers of Kansas found she could put their frustrations with Wall Street into words. She is credited with causing the agrarian risings in the Midwest through her rhetoric, even though she denied that claim.

The agrarian revolts and her involvement in it became national news, and she was heavily criticized and personally attacked because of her views. Eventually the party distanced themselves from her and the Populist's Party itself was defeated in 1894.

Was US expansion, during the 1800s, justified?
Brilliant_brown [7]
<span>By the criteria of Americans of that day, who knew nothing about "political correctness," it was entirely justifiable.  They believed that their system was the best that had ever been invented and that it should be spread throughout the world without delay.  (This is one of the reasons they supported foreign missionaries and "filibustering" expeditions.)  The easiest way to spread it, obviously, was into contiguous regions, and thence into regions contiguous to those, and so on.  One Congressman stated that he hoped to live to see the day when the Speaker of the House would recognize "the member from Canada, from Cuba, even the gentleman from Patagonia!"</span>
