An example of such an event can be when the Civil War ended. The country went back to the gold standard and destroyed large sums of civil war money which was useless now. This led to a major deflation because there was suddenly much less money than before and the money had higher value than before.
The Hamburg Massacre (or Red Shirt Massacre or Hamburg riot) was a key event in the African American town of Hamburg, South Carolina in July 1876, leading up to the last election season of the Reconstruction Era. It was the first of a series of civil disturbances planned and carried out by white Democrats in the majority-black Republican Edgefield District, with the goal of suppressing black voting, disrupting Republican meetings, and suppressing black Americans civil rights, through actual and threatened violence.[1]
Beginning with a dispute over free passage on a public road, the massacre was rooted in racial hatred and political motives. A court hearing attracted armed white "rifle clubs," colloquially called the "Red Shirts". Desiring to regain control of state governments and eradicate the civil rights of black Americans, over 100 white men attacked about 30 black servicemen of the National Guard at the armory, killing two as they tried to leave that night. Later that night, the Red Shirts tortured and murdered four of the militia while holding them as prisoners, and wounded several others. In total, the events in Hamburg resulted in the death of one white man and six black men with several more blacks being wounded. Although 94 white men were indicted for murder by a coroner's jury, none were prosecuted.
The events were a catalyst in the overarching violence in the volatile 1876 election campaign. There were other episodes of violence in the months before the election, including an estimated 100 blacks killed during several days in Ellenton, South Carolina, also in Aiken County. The Southern Democrats succeeded in "redeeming" the state government and electing Wade Hampton III as governor. During the remainder of the century, they passed laws to establish single-party white rule, impose legal segregation and "Jim Crow," and disenfranchise blacks with a new state constitution adopted in 1895. This exclusion of blacks from the political system was effectively maintained into the late 1960s.
Answer: Artists use different mediums to make art, and they often specialize in a particular medium throughout their careers, although their style might change over time.
Explanation:
When drawing, they often use ink or pencils. Paintinters use watercolor, acrylic, pastel, and pencils as well. Sculptures are made of glass, stone, clay, aluminum, wood, or any three-dimensional material.
Paintings in watercolor are the kind of medium most often seen.
However, modern art installations have added new mediums. Such is the case of the Korean artist Choi Jeong Hwa. He uses different recycled waste items to build public artworks, like a colossal fish puppet made from plastic bags and buildings made from old doors.
In 1921 Bartolomeo Vanzetti, a fish peddler, and Nicola Sacco, a shoe factory worker, were both convicted of the murder of a Massachusetts paymaster and his guard.
Prejudice, anti-redism, anti-foreignism, and judicial lynching prevailed during the trial because the defendants were Italians, atheists, anarchists, and draft dodgers.
Even though in 1925 Celestino Madeiros, an ex-convict a
waiting for a murder trial, confessed to perpetrating the Braintree crimes, Sacco and Vanzetti were executed in 1927.
John Llewellyn Lewis (1880 – 1969) was president of the United Mine Workers of America (UMW) from 1920 to 1960, and an advocate for the founding of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), which instituted the United Steel Workers of America and organized millions of different industrial workers in the 1930s.
In the 1950s, Lewis obtained periodic wage and benefit increases for miners and started the campaign for the first Federal Mine Safety Act in 1952, which granted annual safety examinations of mines operating wit over 14 workers.
