Credit Mobilier, Jim Fisk and Jay Gould Scandal</p>
<p>When fueledbybrick says Fisk and Gould Scandal, he means Black Friday, which resulted from Fisk and Gould trying to corner the gold market. The Whiskey Ring scandal was pretty famous as well. Those pretty much cover the major ones, here’s more: [Ulysses</a> S. Grant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“Ulysses S. Grant - Wikipedia”>Ulysses S. Grant - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>So what are you guys spending your most time studying on?
I seem to be missing questions most on the 1790s-1900s period (especially presidents and foreign things), and some specific details of the colonial period, the American Revolution, and the Constitution period.</p>
<p>Answer:
-Credit Mobiler
Some stockholders of the Union Pacific Railroad created the Credit Mobilier, a dummy construction company. They tricked Union Pacific Railroad and the government out of millions of dollars. When they found out an investigation was about to be launched, they bribed some influential congressmen.
It was exposed anyways and the Vice President was involved, tarnishing the Grant Administration.</p>
<p>there’s more but dont want to do it.

<p>Q: why doe the Federalist Party die out after the Hartford Convention?</p>
<p>Because they look like elitist jackasses. they just lose their constituency to the Democratic-Republicans led by TJ</p>
<p>Well, Federalist (in New England) had already threatened to secede from the union in 1803 and 1812. In 1814, Federalist convened at the Hartford Convention. They not only threatened secession again, but they also sent delegates to England to try to negotiate a different peace negotiate to end the war between New England states and the UK. While it was generally accepted that states had the right to secede from the union, it was considered “treason” to negotiate for a separate peace while remaining in the US. This lead to the dissolution of the Federalist Party.</p>
<p>I know just about everything but whenever I’m asked a qusetion about any kind of trend during a certain decade, I can never match up the years with what hapened? Can anyone make a quick little guide of general trends with women/foreign policy/immigrants in each of the decades (1880s, 1890s etc). I’m awful with years adn there were a lot of “In the mid-18th century…” questions on the subject test and I had no idea what was going on at that time.</p>
<p>Trends? idk- There’s different trends for everything (unions, women, immigration, supreme court, civil rights, corruption, social programs, foreign policy etc etc)</p>
<p>Though here’s a detailed outline you should read through. It should help

<p>What did the government do to provide support to American farmers during the depression?</p>
<p>(Conflicting information from my teacher)</p>
<p>The government intervened in the farm crisis, but for the most part was unsucessful.
The Soil Erosion Sendee was established in 1933 (I believe) to organize farms into soil conservatives districts, but because the repair process was slow farmers were unable to benefit.
The Taylor Grazing Act of 1934 established monitored grazing districts that helped stabalize the depletion of range, but it was short-lived.
Lastly the Federal Emergency Relief Administration helped by buying out farms and taking land out of production helping to restore the land. </p>
<p>I think that’s enough, lmk if you need more help .</p>
<p>^ I don’t think any of that is tested lol. Try Hawley-Smoot Tariff and Agricultural Adjustment Act</p>
<p>FDR created the AAA, which would let farmers cut production, and thus raise crop prices. It rose gross farm income, and made the agricultural economy more stable. But it favored large farmers over small ones. This was controversial and later overturned by the Supreme Court in the Sick Chicken Case because the gov’t can’t limit farm production.
There were also some other smaller ones.</p>
<p>The paintings of the Hudson Art School were of what?</p>
<p>^Portrait landscapes</p>
<p>What was the whole deal with the Stalwarts and Half-breeds?</p>
<p>Stalwarts were for spoils system. Half-breeds against it. Stalwarts were the ones who assassinated Garfield.</p>
<p>True, but those examples for an FRQ would be good to use and not many use them as examples. But yep :)</p>
<p>Next Question: What resolution increased U.S. involvement in Vietnam?</p>
