The public was attracted to both Theodore Roosevelt (in 1912) and Ross Perot (in 1992) because they were fiery, spirited men who challenged the status quo of politics. In both elections, running as 3rd party candidates, these men divided the votes of the Republican party, and thus both elections were won by Democratic party candidates.

In the 1912 election, the Republican Party was divided. Its conservative wing supported President William Howard Taft for reelection. Theodore ("Teddy") Roosevelt, who had been President from 1901-1909, led the progressive wing of the Republicans. Ultimately, Roosevelt and his supporters objected to the nomination of Taft as the Republican candidate, and formed a 3rd party, the Progressive Party, with Roosevelt as their presidential candidate. Roosevelt won 27% of the popular vote; Taft received 23% of the popular vote. Democratic candidate Woodrow Wilson got 42% of the popular vote and carried 40 states to win the Electoral College vote handily.

In the 1992 election, Texas businessman Ross Perot painted himself as the non-political candidate and financed most of his own campaign with his own funds. He pledged to balance the government budget and enact policies that protected American businesses. Famously, he opposed the North American Free Trade Agreement, saying it would result in "a giant sucking sound" of American jobs heading south to Mexico. Though not officially a breakaway from the Republican Party, most of the votes Perot drew to himself came from the Republican side. In the 1992 election, incumbent Republican President George W. Bush got 37% of the popular vote, and Perot got 19%. The Democratic candidate, Bill Clinton, received 43% of the popular vote and carried 32 states to win the Electoral College victory with 370 electoral votes.

Third parties can spoil the election for the incumbent, just as Roosevelt’s and Perot’s parties spoiled the elections of 1912 and 1992, respectively.

Third parties are strengthened when people are dissatisfied with the incumbent.

People were dissatisfied with Taft for acting conservatively and with Bush for breaking his campaign promise.

Third parties are more successful when the country is ready for change.

What was one effect the battle of gettysburg had on the south?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The south never again fought on the union soil

Explanation:

The Battle of Gettysburg was a pivotal moment during the Civil War, because it made possible for the North to reclaim the Mississippi River which was a very important route for the North. Also, by reclaiming the River, the North split the Confederacy in two, which made things very hard for them because of the transportation of supplies. Also, after the battle, the Confederate Army was forced to retreat to Virginia and would not return North again.

Defend the following statement: The Canal System had a negative impact on the South.
devlian [24]

The construction of the British canal system was key in the industrialization of these territories. However, in comparison to the canals up north of the UK, there were some canals that were not connected to the system in the south. The purpose of them was to serve the local industries in England and Wales. However, these were largely unutilized due to the preference from people towards other methods of transportation.

Your letter should be at least two pages and include some information from 1960s through the present time. Consider interviewing a family member or friend who might be able to share a perspective with you. Remember to describe what life was like and what you hope it will be like for your granddaughter.

Women in the past were limited at home or jobs that are

related to nursing and child care. As the time passed, women had slowly climbed

up the ladder in the economic and political world as well as the other aspects

in society. You my dear are lucky, never waste your chance, go chase and live

for your dreams. Be thankful to the woman who had slowly shape the new society.

They explained how they were considered good workers and useful during ww2, but were suddenly shunned after the war as if they never proved themselves.
