Definition1/17
In the United States, bimetallism (gold vs silver) became a
center of political conflict toward the end of the nineteenth
century. Newly discovered silver mines in the American West caused
an effective decrease in the value of money. In 1873, in order to
de-monetize silver, the government passed the Fourth Coinage Act,
just as these silver resources were beginning to be exploited.
Proponents of monetary silver, known as the Silverites, referred to
this act as "The Crime of '73," as it was judged to have inhibited
inflation. Instead deflation resulted, causing problems for farmers
with large mortgages who found they could sell their goods for only
a fraction of their post-Civil War price.
In addition, improvements in transport meant it was cheaper for
farmers to ship their grain to Europe, and they over-expanded
production until there was a glut on the market. The Panic of 1893
was a severe nationwide depression that brought the money issue to
the fore. The "silverites" argued that using silver would inflate
themoney supply and mean more cash for everyone, which they equated
with prosperity. The gold advocates said silver would permanently
depress the economy, but thatsound money produced by a gold
standard would restore prosperity.

Why was steerage considered the worst accommodations on ships traveling from Europe to America
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/17
The people in steerage were at the bottom of the ship and below
water level. There were no windows, no rooms, and very little of
anything else. The ships in the 1900's divided decks according to
classes of people. The decks were separated with locked gates and
the upper deck people who paid the most for passage never met or
saw the people on the other decks. The immigrants below were locked
in so they couldn't have access to the upper decks. They were
considered the poorest dirtiest people on the ship so we're sold
the worse accommodations.
