WEDNESDAY: 
1. Review Chapter 23 in your textbooks.  For those of you who want to go digital click here.
2. Complete FIVE of the following EIGHT questions.  Each response should be a thorough, detailed paragraph.  




1. What made politics in the Gilded Age so extremely popular—with over 80 percent voter participation—yet so often corrupt and unconcerned with important national issues?

2. What caused the end of the Reconstruction? In particular, why did the majority of Republicans abandon their earlier policy of support for black civil rights and voting in the South?


3. What were the results of the Compromise of 1877 for race relations? How did the suppression of blacks through the sharecropping and crop-lien systems depress the economic condition of the South for whites and blacks alike?

|
4. What caused the rise of the money issue in American politics? What were the
backers of greenback and silver money each trying to achieve?


5. What were the causes and political results of the rise of agrarian protest in the 1880s and 1890s? Why were the Populists‘ attempts to form a coalition of white and black farmers and industrial workers ultimately unsuccessful?


6. White laborers in the West fiercely resisted Chinese immigration, and white farmers in the South turned toward race-baiting rather than forming a populist alliance with black farmers. How and why did racial animosity trump the apparent economic self-interests of these lower-class whites?


7. In what ways did the political conflicts of the Gilded Age still reflect the aftermath of the Civil War and Reconstruction (see Chapter 22)? To what extent did the political leaders of the time address issues of race and sectional conflict, and to what extent did they merely shove them under the rug?


8. Was the apparent failure of the American political system to address the industrial conflicts and racial tensions of the Gilded Age a result of the two parties‘ poor leadership and narrow self interest, or was it simply the natural inability of a previously agrarian, local, democratic nation to face up to a modern, national industrial economy
