Describe the election between McKinley vs Bryan

Answers

Answer 1
The presidential campaign of 1896 was one of the most exciting in American history. The central issue was the country’s money supply. An economic depression had begun in 1893, and public opinion—and even the Democratic Party—was split between those who favoured the gold standard and those who favoured free silver, a type of currency inflation, to help alleviate the depression. Most Republicans, as well as Democratic supporters of Pres. Grover Cleveland, were in favour of the gold standard. Southern and western Democrats and Populists (also known as the People’s Party)—many of them farmers who were suffering financially—vied for free silver, which ultimately helped bring those two parties together. In June at the Republican national convention in St. Louis, Missouri, former Ohio congressman and governor William McKinley, who was popular in his party for his moderate views on gold and silver, easily won the Republican presidential nomination. Garret A. Hobart of New Jersey was chosen as his running mate after Thomas Reed, who had vied for the presidential ticket, rejected the vice presidential nomination. At their convention in Chicago the following month, the Democrats chose magnetic orator and former Nebraska congressman William Jennings Bryan. Although he was only 36 years of age, Bryan’s famous “Cross of Gold” speech (July 8), given in closing debate on the party platform and in favour of including a plank endorsing free silver, so electrified the convention that he was nominated for president, winning on the fifth ballot. His solution for the depressed economy was an “easy money” policy based on the unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio to gold of 16 to 1. On that platform he also received the nominations of the Populist and National Silver parties. Arthur Sewall, an executive from Maine, was chosen as the Democrats’ vice presidential candidate. The Populists, trying to preserve their party as separate from the Democrats, nominated Thomas E. Watson as their vice presidential candidate McKinley ran on a Republican platform emphasizing maintenance of the gold standard, while his opponent called for the bimetallic standard of gold and silver. Bryan campaigned vigorously, traveling thousands of miles and delivering hundreds of speeches in support of an inflated currency that would help poor farmers and other debtors. McKinley remained at home in Canton, Ohio, greeting visiting delegations of Republicans at his front porch and giving carefully prepared speeches promoting the benefits of a gold-backed currency. Prominent Republican industrialist Mark Hanna tapped big businesses for enormous campaign contributions while directing a network of Republican speakers who portrayed Bryan as a dangerous radical and McKinley as “the advance agent of prosperity.” Although Bryan rallied a devoted voter base, sweeping the South and most of the mountain West, McKinley won the election decisively, carrying the North and Pacific West and becoming the first president to achieve a popular majority since 1872. In the electoral college, McKinley defeated Bryan 271 to 176..

The Columbian exchange of crops affected both the Old World and the New. Amerindian crops that have crossed oceans—for example, maize to China and the white potato to Ireland—have been stimulants to population growth in the Old World. The latter's crops and livestock have had much the same effect in the Americas—for example, wheat in Kansas and the Pampa, and beef cattle in Texas and Brazil.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

It seems that there is no question here, just a statement. You forgot to include the question and the options of the question.

What is needed here is the following.

The Columbian exchange resulted in population booms in parts of Europe and Asia due to the introduction of new staple subsistence crops from the Americas.

According to Alfred W. Crosby in "The Columbian Exchange,” it resulted in population booms in parts of Europe and Asia due to the introduction of new staple subsistence crops from the Americas.

The Columbian Exchange impacted most regions of the planet with the constant exchange of goods and raw materials and the development of new cash crops that were exported. Livestock also was introduced which was an important part of the farms.

However, the negative side of the Columbian Exchange was that it almost wiped out entire Native American Indian populations due to the introduction of European diseases such as smallpox, Malaria, chickenpox, Colera, Influenza, or measles.

What import did Britain introduced into China to balance the tea trade?
A) Slaves
B) Opium
C) Sugar
D) Tabcco

Answers

Answer:

B opium

Explanation:

Trade drugs for drugs—specifically, the caffeine fix in tea for the poppies that grow abundantly on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, which at the time was part of the British empire. “They just start dumping opium into China,” explained Rose. But drug dealing proved to be an expensive headache, and so, in 1848, Britain embarked on the biggest botanical heist in history, as well as one of the biggest thefts of intellectual property to date: stealing Chinese tea plants, as well as Chinese tea-processing expertise, in order to create a tea industry in India.

The answer is B opium

In what ways did the declaration from the Hartford Convention of 1815 foretell the coming U.S. Civil War; what issues, presented in the declaration, seemed irreconcilable, and how did the declaration show the northern states supported the idea of secession?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The Hartford Convention was held on December 15, 1814. The location for the meeting was the Old State House. The convention was a secret. The initiative for the meeting came from the Massachusetts legislature and delegates participated from Vermont, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. The resolution of the convention was that these states drafted a severe protest against the government of the United States for its participation in the War of 1812. Those were the issues presented in the declaration. That is when the first conversations about the idea of secession were introduced. Specifically, the New England Federalists feared that those kinds of suppositions could lead the nation to a civil war. The conclusions of the Convention were issued on January 15, 1815.
