The correct answer is D) Against abuses of industrial workers in the early 1900s.

Muckrackers were reporters/writers who exposed corrupt and unjust elements of American society. For example, Upton Sinclair was a famous author who wrote the book The Jungle. This fictional account described the real working conditions of individuals working in the meat packing industry in Chicago. This book exposed the unsanitary conditions and disgusting practices by the meat industry and ultimately resulted in the Meat Inspection Act of 1906.

Another example would be How the Other Half Lives by Jacob Riis. This book exposes the poor living conditions of factory workers, especially immigrants. The pictures of these living accomodations shocked many American citizens and helped result in changes to the housing industry.

suppose that you were a participant in the Boston Tea Party. Write a diary entry describing the event.

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

It is estimated that hundreds took part in the Boston Tea Party. For fear of punishment, many participants of the Boston Tea Party remained anonymous for many years after the event. To date it is known that 116 people are documented to have participated. Not all of the participants of the Boston Tea Party are known; many carried the secret of their participation to their graves. The participants were made up of males from all walks of colonial society. Many were from Boston or the surrounding area, but some participants are documented to have come from as far away as Worcester in central Massachusetts and Maine. The vast majority was of English descent, but men of Irish, Scottish, French, Portuguese, and African ancestry were documented to have also participated. The participants were of all ages, but the majority of the documented participants was under the age of forty. Sixteen participants were teenagers, and only nine men were above the age of forty. Many of the Boston Tea Party participants fled Boston immediately after the destruction of the tea to avoid arrest. Thousands witnessed the event, and the implication and impact of this action were enormous ultimately leading to the start of the American Revolution.
