The White House In The 1800's

Our nation's revolution was a great achievement in U.S History. With the dawn of a new nation, there would have to be a central location to make the new decisions of our country. Our capitol has stood as the heart of our country since the late 1700s. The United States capitol is among the most architecturally impressive and symbolically important buildings in the world. For almost two centuries it has housed the meeting chambers of the senate and the House of Representatives. Begun in 1793, the capitol building has been built, burnt, rebuilt, extended, and restored. Today our capitol stands as a monument to the American people and their government. (AOC.gov)

During the 19th century slavery was a very prominent and controversial issue between the north and the southern states. In the South, most people believed that slavery was a profitable way of life and if the slavery was to be abolished it would then affect their economy. On the hand the northern had different opinions about slavery and intended to stop it. The fact that the perception were different between the two led to a very difficult situation in resolving the issue.

Discuss Politics in the Gilded Age. Include major political events and issues, and the roles of the “bloody shirt,” corruption, patronage, and reform movements.

A sense of unity filled the United States of America after they gained independence by winning the Revolutionary War. This sense of unity, however, did not last forever. Rather than having disputes with Britain, the United States began to have disputes among its three "sections" - the north, south, and west. Starting with the War of 1812, sectionalism began as a small rift but grew into a huge gap that separated the north, south, and west.

New York City during the Gilded Age experienced a transformation on society that would leave a lasting effect on all aspects of the city. During this era in New York City, the idea of politics and its characters developed into some of the modern definitions that citizens still see in government today. The political corruption that consumed politics during this time period became a staple in New York City society. The word corruption gives the tactics of politicians in the Gilded Age a reputation that is filled with destructive and harmful methods that were unbeneficial to society. In reality, not all of the strategies of these politicians resulted in poor outcomes. Through questionable political tactics, officials used their power to negatively and positively push New York City into the 1900s, which would lead to political activism by the city’s people looking for change. Tammany Hall was one of the most influential political machines that directly impacted the people and society of New York City at this time, and exemplified what it meant to be a corrupt institution that helped positive change happen.

AAmerica began as a small struggling nation, with each citizen desiring an opportunistic way of life. To achieve this way of life, many changes needed to be made. Different people with distinctive ideas came together, and although there was conflict, they made great changes politically, socially, and economically. Each aspect changed America tremendously in a variety of ways. Analyzing each specific change can determine the extent in which America has changed for better or for worse.

America took a lot of pride in their White House, which was a symbol of leadership.

Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States, elected in eighteen twenty-eight. Prior to his presidency Andrew Jackson was well known and favored for his success against the British in the war of eighteen-twelve. Upon election, Andrew Jackson became known as the people’s president gaining the majority of electoral votes over his opponent John quincy Adams.Throughout his presidency many events occurred that would shape America as a nation. During his time as President Andrew Jackson was both favored and hated by many individuals. His actions pleased certain groups of people, but would also cause for a loss of support amongst Americans. Jackson’s legacy would leave behind a strong willed group of supporters, known as the Democrat party, and the creation of opposed individuals known as the Whig party as well. His presidency would be viewed as time of improvements to some, but to others who strongly opposed his presidency, it would be seen as a time for unjust tariffs and conflict. Jackson’s presidency would be characterized by key events such as the Indian removal act, the nullification crisis, and the dispute known as the war against the bank, that would alter the nation forever.

The Gilded age is considered to be the period in the U.S from 1865 to 1900; it is known for the rapid growth of the country, the influx of citizens from farms to cities, and politically, for abounding corruption (625). Many of the actions politicians took in order to succeed are considered today to be not only unethical but illegal. This paper will review and compare the politics of the Gilded Age and the politics of today. Backroom deals were a common part of elections during the Gilded Age. One of the more famous examples is the election of Rutherford B. Hayes and the Compromise of 1897, where a contested election was solved by private dealings between the Republicans and the Democrats.

The building of the white house has a rich history through out its war campaigns and the burning of the white house. The White House is a symbol for our nation and it is a very intricate piece to our society. The first stone was laid on October 13, 1792. It took eight years to finish enough of the house to make it livable. The Capitol Building wasn't completed yet, and congressmen lived in boardinghouses surrounded by farmland. John Adams, the second president of the United States, moved into a cold, damp White House in November 1800.

The late 1800s sparked the beginning of a new age of overture in industrialization. Which somehow made a turn of fortunate events of prosper, edge towards weakening the youth’s maturity. Leaving the question to stand, was it a good idea? Was it a good idea for the amount of steel we produce or coal we mine. All these factors play a role in the habitat we live in now. Good nor evil has come about of the blunders associated with urban expansion.

Finally, Ta-Nehisi Coates shows his support for this claim in his article “The First White President.” In this article Coates discusses how minorities, such as African Americans, have always been outsiders because of society’s racism, but with President Trump they lost all hope of becoming insiders. Before, with Obama as president, minorities had some hope of becoming insiders, “Barack Obama delivered to black people the hoary message that if the work twice as hard as white people anything is possible” which gave light to the possibility of change, but with a different society in charge, all minorities were now more outsiders than before (Coates). This is not a new division, for African American people have always been pushed to the outside.
