Why is Thomas Nast famous?
4vir4ik [10]

Thomas Nast was born in Landau, Germany, on September 27, 1840. His family moved to New York City around the time he was 6. Nast did poorly in school, preferring drawing to schoolwork, and eventually dropped out. In 1855 he landed his first illustration job, and several years later joined the staff of Harper's Weekly. While there, Nast quickly made a name for himself as a political cartoonist, focusing on such topics as the Civil War, slavery and corruption. Nast would also become known for the modern representation of Santa Claus as a jolly, rotund man living at the North Pole. In 1886, Nast left Harper's Weekly and fell on hard times. In 1902, he was appointed general counsel to Ecuador. While in that country, he contracted yellow fever and died on December 7, 1902.

<span>Early Life Born on September 27, 1840, in Landau, Germany, cartoonist Thomas Nast was best known for his powerful sketches of the Civil War and his influential political images. Around the age of 6, Nast moved to the United States with his mother and sister, and they settled in New York City. His father joined the family several years later. From an early age, Nast showed an interest in drawing. He preferred doodling over doing his homework and proved to be a poor student, eventually dropping out of regular school around the age of 13. He then studied for a time at the National Academy of Art, but when his family could no longer afford his tuition, Nast went to work, landing a job in 1855 doing illustrations for Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper.</span> <span>Influential Political CartoonistIn 1862, Nast joined the staff of Harper's Weekly as an artist. He worked for the publication for roughly 25 years. Early in his career there, Nast earned acclaim for his depictions of the Civil War. President Abraham Lincoln once described him as the "best recruiting sergeant" for the Union cause because his sketches encouraged others to join the fight. By the 1870s, Nast primarily focused his efforts on political cartoons. He led a crusade against corruption, using his images to help remove William Magear "Boss" Tweed and his peers from power. Tweed ran the Democratic Party in New York. In September 1871, Nast depicted Tweed, New York Mayor A. Oakey Hall and several others as a group of vultures surrounding a corpse labeled "New York." The cartoon supposedly upset Tweed so much that he offered Nast a bribe of $500,000 (100 times Nast's annual salary at the time) to leave town. Nast refused and continued to draw attention to Tweed's misdeeds. Eventually, it was Tweed who fled the country, to avoid prosecution. During his time at Harper's Weekly, Nast also created the still-popular images of the Democratic Party represented by a donkey and the Republican Party by an elephant. Nast is further believed to be responsible for the modern representation of Santa Claus as a jolly, rotund man in a red suit, and to be the first to have suggested that Santa could be found at the North Pole and that kids could send him their wish lists there.</span><span>Final YearsAfter parting ways with Harper's Weekly in 1886, Nast soon fell on hard times. His illustration work began to dry up and his investments failed, ultimately leaving him and his family nearly destitute. In 1902, Nast received help from his longtime friend Theodore Roosevelt, who appointed him the position of U.S. counsel general for Ecuador. Nast hoped that this new position would allow him earn enough to pay off some debts and help his family. Unfortunately, when Nast arrived in Ecuador that July, the country was in the midst of a yellow fever outbreak. Nast contracted the disease in December and succumbed to the illness soon after, on December 7, 1902. Despite his tragic end, he is still remembered as one of the most successful political cartoonists of all time.</span>

Which of the following describes the American home front during World War I?
nalin [4]

Happy to help you!

World War I was a conflict that created a huge impact on the 'idea' of what a war could be at the time. Populations across the globe had never seen or imagined a war as devastating as WWI at the time.

It was the 'War to end all wars'.

At the time the main tasks that describe that home front during this war, were the following:

  • Enlist or bring support to relatives in the army.
  • Purchase war bonds from the government.
  • Work in a wartime industry
  • Volunteer with organizations like the Red Cross
  • Save sugar for the soldiers
  • Grow crops
  • Change diet, eat more of certain foods, and less of others.
  • Ration sources
  • Use of propaganda to lead and stimulate the nation towards a goal

Based on the previous bulletpoints, you correct answers would be:

> Americans conserved fuel to support the war effort.

> The government used propaganda to secure loyalty to the war effort.

> Americans purchased Liberty Bonds to finance the war effort.<em> (However, these where just called 'war bonds'.</em>

Have a great 2019!

Why did the fur trade of North America expand so quickly from the late sixteenth into the seventeenth century?
erastova [34]
One of the main reasons why this occurred was because demand for furs increased dramatically in Europe, due to their value that could be used to buy spices and other goods.

What is Globalization?
oee [108]

Answer: Globalization is the spread of products, technology, information, and jobs across nations.

Corporations in developed nations can gain a competitive edge through globalization.

Developing countries also benefit through globalization as they tend to be more cost-effective and therefore attract jobs.

The benefits of globalization have been questioned as the positive effects are not necessarily distributed equally.

One clear result of globalization is that an economic downturn in one country can create a domino effect through its trade partners.
