What is the newspaper boom?
shutvik [7]
Newspapers flourished, dramatically, in early nineteenth-century America. By the 1830s the United States had some 900 newspapers, about twice as many as Great Britain—and had more newspaper readers, too. The 1840 U.S. census counted 1,631 newspapers; by 1850 the number was 2,526, with a total annual circulation of half a billion copies for a population of a little under 23.2 million people. Most of those newspapers were weeklies, but the growth in daily newspapers was even more striking. From just 24 in 1820, the number of daily newspapers grew to 138 in 1840 and to 254 in 1850. By mid-century the American newspaper industry was amazingly diverse in size and scope. Big city dailies had become major manufacturing enterprises, with highly capitalized printing plants, scores of employees, and circulations in the tens of thousands. Meanwhile, small town weeklies, with hand-operated presses, two or three employees, and circulations in the hundreds were thriving as well.

The causes of this boom in American newspapers were varied and independent in origin, but they were mutually reinforcing. The U.S. population was growing and spreading out to new regions distant from the old seaboard settlements. As new towns formed, new institutions—including newspapers—blossomed. Indiana, for example, had only one newspaper in 1810 but seventy-three by 1840. Politically, America was highly decentralized, with government business conducted at the national, state, county, and town levels. Each of these levels of government needed newspapers, and the new American system of political parties also supported newspapers. Commercially, as new businesses flourished, so did the advertising function of the newspaper press. Rapidly urbanizing cities could even support multiple daily newspapers. The early nineteenth century was also a boom time for religious and reform organization, and each voluntary association needed its newspaper.

The Great Railroad Strike of 1877:
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

D.ended when the workers, who lacked organized bargaining power, returned to work

Explanation:

Great Railroad Strike of 1877, was a result of reduction in wage of workers on Railroad work, which was caused by prolonged economic depression after the panic of 1873.

Announced by the Baltimore and Ohio (B&O), the railroad companies had taken advantage of the economic situation, with the determination to break the trade unions that had been formed by the workers before and after the American Civil War.

At the height of the struggle, the strikes was later subdued, for various reasons amongst which are:

1. The federal army did not break, by following order and staying together in the face of the militia. While the militas lacked effective leadership and coordination.

2. Despite the fears of the industrialists and the government, the workers lack organization amd methodical approach but rather spontaneous outbursts.

Hence, the moment their vituperations had run its course, so too did the revolts.

3. At some point, some of the workers, who lacked organized bargaining power, returned to work
