Politics in the Gilded Age, 1870-1900

1 answer:

5 0

During this time period, the federal government was relatively weak. Moreover, the Gilded Age was a period in which social assistance was not common, and it did not have the support it had in later years.

Most social assistance was provided by religious institutions due to a change in ideology called the "Third Great Awakening," in which religious attitudes became more progressive. This allowed institutions such as the YMCA, the Salvation Army and Hull House to be established. The federal government implemented programs such as emergency relief programs, work relief programs, and agricultural programs.

These programs were moderately successful. However, their main contribution was influencing politics, which led to the Populist Party and eventually the Progressive movement.

Answer:

On behalf of the NY times I went down to visit the factories where supposedly nearly half of the working population work. As soon as I entered the meat factory there was a putrid smell that nearly made me turn around on the spot. I ventured further in and saw that meat being packaged and sent off to consumers were lying on the floor that looked like it had nearly 2 layers of saw dust coating it! There were rats scurrying around and the workers had no protective gear and touched the meat bare-handed. I went down to the living areas of one of the factory men and the streets were filled with potholes and once again rats were scurrying around. There living area was extremely cramped and an entire family of 5 were living in 1 room. Overall, the living conditions as well as the factory working conditions could only be described as horrid and monstrous.
