Summary Of ' The Republican ' Old Guard '

During the election year of 1920, America wanted to relax and enjoy winning the war and American life, so people rallied behind Warren G. Harding of Ohio who promised to restore “normalcy” to the country. Though seen as a good man, he was corrupt, did not have strong principles, and scandals arose in his 3rd year of presidency. In 1923, he died of food poisoning while making a trip to the west coast to give speeches. Harding’s vice president, Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, took over and was very shy and laid-back approach to the presidency which was good because the economy was doing fine. He won again in 1924. However, there were still issues occurring in the nation such as the Prohibition, the decline of morality, and the rise of atheism.

Although there were no wars at the time, his slogan was reinforced by sending the expanded US Navy and the Great White Fleet on a world tour. “TR negotiated an end to the Russo-Japanese War, for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize. Theodore Roosevelts presidency ended the Gilded Age.” (Solheim, Bruce, 21-22) “Not only had Roosevelt alienated big business, he was also attacking both the judiciary and the deep faith Republicans had in their judges (most of whom had been appointed by McKinley, Roosevelt or Taft.) In the 1910 Congressional elections, Democrats swept to power, and Taft’s reelection in 1912 was increasingly in doubt.” (Blum, John Morton, 252).

Once the organized crime families were established they were the main contributors to the illegal “Bootlegging” of alcohol. During the 20’s there was a great deal of violent crimes. Most of them could be connected back to the organized crime families. Alphonse Gabriel “Al” Capone was a gangster who led illegal activities such as the smuggling and the bootlegging of alcohol during the prohibition. Even though he had a tough exterior he was a caring man he was the first to open up a soup kitchen in Chicago (hammer). Capone’s estimated annual revenue was around 100 million dollars. He had many men working for him such as Frank Nitti, August Pisano and Louis Morganno. He supplied Chicago with most of its alcohol. (Capone: the man and his era).

The 1920 presidential election proved to be memorable as well as historically significant for a number of reasons. This time period is surrounded by important events in American history. It falls directly after World War I, starts the roaring twenties, and leads the United States into the Great Depression. Warren G.

At this point in time, American citizens were desperate for one thing: their old “normal” life. The election of 1920 was important because our nation had just gotten out of World War I, the vote ended in a landslide, and Harding changed the United States for the worse.

The American Presidency is one of the most criticized political institutions in the world. The American President is held to standards higher than any person can reasonably be expected to uphold and even the slightest mistake on their part can be remembered forever as a historic failure. Woodrow Wilson was the 28th president of the United States and is often considered to be one of the “top ten” greatest presidents, yet even he is not immune to historical criticism. While he may have been a very successful president he had his fair share of failures. Two of his chief failures as president were his rather disastrous policies dealing with racial issues and his pushing through of the 1917 espionage act.

Teddy Roosevelt became the twenty sixth president of the United States of America from September 14, 1901 until March 4, 1909. His nickname was T. R. He was the youngest president. During his time as president, he brought many accomplishments and contributions to the United States of America.

The most interesting things about President Teddy Roosevelt was that he changed the operation of businesses and the government, how the coal was generate to the public, Panama Canal, and over saw the big remodel of the White House.

Another Gangster that profited from the Prohibition era was Max ‘Boo Boo’ Hoff. “Hoff’s operation was so lucrative it could afford to buy off the head of police department’s Detective Bureau, hundreds of street cops, and the necessary complement of federal agents” (Okrent, 203).

Union National Bank would funnel the money Hoff made. A district attorney tried to put Boo Boo in jail, and when he failed Hoff said he was “ like a giant spider
