Explain how and to what extent industrialization created the problems facing cities during the gilded age.

History
1 answer:
Setler [38]3 years ago
7 0

During the Gilded age the economy was growing very fast, but Industrialization brought high corruption levels, urban poverty and over-consumption of many items due capitalism was booming.

The railroads controlled all the prices, and farmers needed to rely on the railroads to transport their crops around the country; there was an increase in the number of farmers  so their prices declined, and they were earning less and less; so many farmers lost their land not being able to compete, turning into tenant farming (<em>renting the right to farm</em>) they were farmers without farms. They were not able to keep up with inflation rates either.

President Reagan Shot

On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot by John W. Hinkley, Jr., while leaving the Washington Hilton Hotel after giving a speech. The President was hit under his left arm by a bullet that ricocheted off his limousine. Once the sound of shots rang in the air, Secret Service agent Jerry Parr shoved Reagan into his limousine, and then, after

Parr's quick-witted diversion of the presidential limousine to the hospital was a move that probably saved Reagan's life. The bullet had missed Reagan's heart by a mere inch. Although not believed to be serious at the time, Reagan's wounds were in fact life-threatening. He underwent surgery to remove the bullet and repair a lung that had collapsed.

Still President Reagan, ever the trouper, walked into the hospital before he collapsed. Later he won the heart of the nation when the stories of his courage and humor disarmed critics and endeared him to the public. When he arrived at the hospital, he reportedly joked with the medical staff, “Please tell me you're Republicans,” and he quipped to an anxious Nancy, “Honey, I forgot to duck.” One of the older Presidents when elected, Reagan was 70 years old when he took the oath of office; questions about his stamina and energy were commonplace during the early months of his presidency. His quick recovery from the assassination attempt, however, helped to brush those concerns aside.

President Reagan appeared before a joint session of Congress a few months after the assassination attempt to thunderous support. The attempt on his life and speedy recovery from his wounds helped establish his reputation for toughness, humility, and strength-a far cry from the public perception of his predecessor, Jimmy Carter. Press Secretary James Brady, however, suffered permanent brain damage from his wounds, and later advocated the passage of gun control laws. The “Brady Bill,” named in his honor, limited handgun purchases and required background checks on gun purchasers.

In 1982, a District of Columbia jury tried John W. Hinkley, Jr., and found him not guilty by reason of insanity. He was then committed to St. Elizabeth's Hospital for treatment of his mental illness.

Name two geographic obstacles and one political obstacle that stood in the way of the construction of the Panama Canal. How did
finlep [7]

The main cause is poverty and lack of education. They're very poor, so they can't afford school. If the children do go to school, they drop out very young to work and help earn money for the family. That's not the kind of cycle people can break out of easily. Add to that the civil war from 1960 to 1996 where the military persecuted the native people, killing up to 200,000, and they've had a pretty rough time of it.

What was a result of the French and Indian War?
Elodia [21]

The only correct answer can be statement C.

The British and the America colonists work together to defeat the French in the French and Indian War, showing that statement A cannot be correct.

Statement D is also incorrect because the French lost land.

This shows how only statement C. can be correct.
