The farmers had every right to be upset about their situation because the government saw a need for reform which alludes to the fact that problems existed, the railroads had a monopoly on shipping which raised costs and affected profit margins, the value of crops had deflated, and big business was hostile

Urbanization in the United States in the late nineteenth century resulted from a number of factors, in particular the rise of commercial activity following the Civil War and the industrialization of the period. During that post-bellum period, cities grew along with a rising population of those residing in the cities. Although those two factors might, at first, appear to be the same, they are, in fact, different. In one early study from immediately after the period (Jefferson, 1915), scholars observed

who discovered America in the late 15th century and early 16th century. In 1531, tobacco was brought back to Europe and was first planted in Santo. Domingo (now part of the Republic of Dominique) and later spread throughout Europe. In the seventeenth century, cigarettes also followed the westerners to Asia. If ealier the use of cigarettes was relatively diversified from vacuum aspiration to smoking, chewing and inhaling, in the second half of the nineteenth century, when tobalco was manufactured

In the late nineteenth-century the European nations, the United States, and Japan were now intending to own considerable amounts of the world. This came about because of the demand of industrial resources and business antagonism for new market inflamed competition for African and Asian territory. In 1876 the British Government announced that they were an empire, after seizing India. Many other governments at this time were following the British government.

Living in the city in the late nineteenth century had a good amount of positive and negative aspects. One of the positives was that there were very many new job opportunities with all the factories and construction being built. More means of transportation were available in the city, such as trolleys, railroads, and steam driven cars. There was a common focus of increasing and improving the museums, art galleries, amusement parks, and skyscrapers. Many people in the city were ready to move forward

3. How and why was the West transformed in the late nineteenth century? How did these changes affect the people living in the West? How did the changes in the West transform America?

Mark Twain and Charles Dudley named the late nineteenth century as the “Gilded Age”. What Mark meant by Gilded Age is it is a shiny gold type surface on the top, but if you study and try to look inside it is full of corruption, scandals and controlled by wealthy influential people. As mentioned in the book on pg. 641 that Supreme Court justice John Marshall Harlan in the late 1880s spoke of a “deep feeling of unease,” a widespread fear that the country “was in real danger of another kind of slavery

This section in the Artforms textbook has taught me about the unknown."Before the advent of movies in the late nineteenth century, it was discovered that looking at rapidly changing short sequences of still drawings gave the illusion of motion" (page 159). People discovered that an action such as flipping a stack of pictures of the same object only in different areas
