The downfall of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act.

1 answer:

4 0

The Sherman Silver Purchase Act of 1890, perhaps along with protectionist McKinley Tariff that year, was blamed for panic. Set in response to a large overproduction of silver by western mines, or the Sherman Act requiring the US Treasury to understand silver using notes respected by silver or gold.

President Grover Cleveland, a Democrat, was blamed for the depression. He, in turn, blamed the Sherman Silver Purchase Act. Gold reserves stored in the Treasury have fallen dangerously low. This led President Cleveland to lend $ 65 million in gold from banker JP Morgan and the Rothschild family of banks in England.

In the past ten years, the popular american holiday, halloween, was "imported" to france by retailers hoping to increase revenue

Alex17521 [72]

From the example given, it can be said that a type of social influence called informational social influence is happening to the French people.

Informational social influence is a type of social influence where the individual conforms to a certain set of behaviors and norms because he or she believes that someone else is more knowledgeable about that situation.

In the case of Halloween, since it is an American holiday, the French are imitating traditions that the Americans do during the celebration since the French are unfamiliar with the customs that people do during Halloween.
