William Jennings Bryan was under the impression that gold had many negative consequences when used in the manor that it was started to be instituted in America. He thought that it made the poor peopled poorer, while it greatly benefited the rich in the nation. He said that if it was to be ridden away, then big business owners and their workers would be put on more similar grounds. He thought Gold was a symbol for Rockefeller type people, big ruthless overly powerful men, and he thought should be done is that they get ride of that culture. Nobody had previously lived by a gold standard so he thought it was ridiculous. Also the little guys have strength in numbers so it would be feasible to overpower big business owners, and decide what standard capitol is to be backed up with. He wanted the common mans opinion to be heard.

Workers were angry with big businesses and the existing parties, and wanting to show the cruelty of industrialization, they formed the populist party. Many workers were abused as they received very low wages at very long hours in unsafe conditions. The main goal of the populist party was to elect people that would progressively give workers the rights that they deserved, including better hours wages and conditions. They also wanted more governmental control of stuff like railroads, elections that were run with less corruption, taxes that benefit the little guys, and a control on the gold that benefits the rich disproportionately. they were sick and tired of big business men and elites taking a much larger percentage of wealth, when they thought they were working way to hard themselves.

The Dawes severity act of 1887 was selfishly enacted in order for white people to take the properties belonging to native Americans. The native peoples, were completely stripped of their lands, and were migrated to reservations previously established for them. Each Native American was given a specific amount of property, and the head of the families would take the largest share. If a native American didn't get a place on a reservation, he would be free to move wherever they wanted. the act ended up with native Americans on reservations having their own establishments eventually, however  the first five years the government held control of the land

When cuba was at war America tried to stay neutral, however in march 1898 the US asked spain to stop fighting and make peace with cuba. On April 11, Mckinley told the people that the war needed to end in cuba. He began by saying that the war was among the many in the country against their oppressor of spain, and that the US tried to stay out of it, but the nature of Sapin made us feel for the cubans. The US trade took a bad turn due to the war, and alot of capital was lost. Becasue neither spain or the cubans had definitively won, the war was going to end only if somebody gave up. Mckinley sated he could either make a rational compromise between the two, or help one part win. McKinley's plan was each side needed to end the barbarities, killing, starving, and torture, the US people there would be helped, and that the US would have to intervene if its trade were hurt even worse, and lastly they would consider a semi-war against spain. Since "maine" had already been sunk, it gave the US the decision to go against cuba. So Mckinley told congress to let the Us go in and restore the gov. and send supplies to citizens

sorry i thought this was a 

1.Andrew Carnegie was one of the most successful Robber barons to have ever lived, due to steel and railways.

2. In recent times there has grown a new gradient between rich and poor.

3. This change seems very bad, but essential for natural human progress and innovation.

4. With the wealth now in the hands of very few, it raises questions as to where the rest is to go, and people should seek out financial competence.

5. Money can be left to families, bequeathed, or it can be invested properly, where leaving money to the family is a very bad choice.

6. Bequeathing it to public use, is also bad because it will generally be wasted.

  7. People often save up money that they never use, which is why the state should tax that money after their deaths so it can be put to use.

8. This policy is useful in making people want to invest during their lives.

9. Spending money during life for rich people, can help the poor greatly and shift wealth out equally.

10. The man of wealth is first to acquire money in a respectable manor and be very responsible with how he manages it, but it is important that any surplus money he has he give back to the community in one way or another, in order to help out the less fortunate.

JFK's tax policy encouraged everybody,
regarldess of wealth to have,
the same percentage of their income
as disposable in order to encourage
the increased spending of moeny, closing the gap between rich and poor
