Answer:
The answer to the question: Magazines that thrived prior to 1794 were widely read because they were given a generous postal rate to reduce distribution costs, is: True.
Explanation:
The distribution of newspapers, magazines and other such periodicals, has always been under some sort of subsidy from the U.S government. One such help was that initially, the U.S postal service would not charge for postage to the senders, and it only attempted to collect that fee from the receipients of the periodicals, or magazines. People would not necessarily pay the money the U.S.P.S would charge them, but still the periodicals were distributed in great numbers given the subsidies. In 1792, additional help was given to magazines, periodicals and newspapers, as the cost of postage was set even lower than when someone wanted to send a letter. So this further increased the availability of these media. However, it became a problem for the postal service, as they started to see a default problem for them: the senders either did not have to pay for postage, or the rate was very low, and then, receipients would not pay for the postage that was charged to them for receiving the media. This changed in 1874, when Congress passed legislation for publishers to prepay postage, but at a really low rate. This is why the answer is true.

In the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, a group of rich and influential lawyers in Santa Fe, New Mexico, amassed fortunes through bribery and corruption acts such as frauds in selling land. They were known as the "Santa Fe Ring."
These corruptive actions generated the ire of people in Santa Fe, initiating the Lincoln County War on February 18, 1788, after the assassination of rancher John Tunstall. Santa Fe lived a period of violence and confrontations during those years.
