Politics in the Gilded Age, 1870-1900

History

igor_vitrenko [27]3 years ago
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.

How did the people of johnstown respond to the challenges of flooding?
34kurt

Explanation:

People all over the nation, even the world, responded with donations of clothing, food, and shelter. Doctors, nurses and Clara Barton and the American Red Cross arrived to provide medical assistance and emergency shelter and supplies. The Johnstown Flood was the first major disaster served by the recently formed Red Cross. Doctors worried especially about diseases that might breed in the unclean water and decaying bodies of humans and animals.

Undertakers volunteered for the gruesome task of preparing over 2,000 bodies for burial. 700 of the victims could not be identified. They were buried together in a new cemetery built high above the town. Recovering the bodies took weeks and cleaning up debris took months. Five thousand homes had been destroyed, so many families lived in tents. During recovery and relief efforts the state of Pennsylvania put Johnstown under martial (military) law, since many of the towns leaders had perished in the flood. General Hastings took charge for several months, making sure relief supplies went to survivors who needed them and keeping the press from taking over the town.
