History

Nonamiya [84]3 years ago
3 0

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.

How many Indian Tribes, and what tribes, were in the trail of tears?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

The Trail of Tears was part of a series of forced relocations of approximately 100,000[1] Native Americans between 1830 and 1850 by the United States government[2] known as the Indian removal. Members of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations (including thousands of their black slaves[3]) were forcibly removed from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States to areas to the west of the Mississippi River that had been designated 'Indian Territory'.[2] The forced relocations were carried out by government authorities after the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830.[4] The Cherokee removal in 1838 (the last forced removal east of the Mississippi) was brought on by the discovery of gold near Dahlonega, Georgia in 1828, resulting in the Georgia Gold Rush.[5]

Before World War II, the context for radical political parties was opened because of what factor?
svetlana [45]

The most important factor from the options that lead to radicalized political parties was The Great Depression of 1929 (C).

The Wall Street Crash of 1929 led to a chain reaction not only in the U.S. but in many European countries as well. In the worst moments of the period, 22 to 23% of the American workforce, and 44% of German's workforce didn't have a job.

Due to the crisis, many American creditors charged loans made throughout the world; American companies stopped investing in other countries.

This generalized crisis, unemployment, and increasing misery of the population created a fertile soil on which fascist and nazi political figures fed.
