1876

Presidential scandals affect the entire nation. While some are particularly worse than others, they can also help implement change in things that will make the nation grow stronger. For example, the election of 1876 with former president Rutherford B. Hayes helped the country understand how a president is elected into office and clarified the confusion between the importance of popular vote and electoral vote, which greatly impacted Washington D.C. However, there are other presidential scandals such as the Watergate Scandal in 1971 and the Iran-Contra Affair were peoples trust in the government diminished. During the Iran-Contra Affair, many events were largely forgotten or ignored, but the events that took place during Watergate will be difficult…

supporters…The dark clouds of conspiracy never left the administration, and the disputed election severely weakened Adams” (Marquis 2008). Anytime there is not a clear winner of an election, the losing side will usually claim something unfair went on. That is really bad for the country and for the president elect because it hurts the amount of support he will receive. If there is a way to prevent confusion like in this election, it should be done. During the time from 1824 there have been to…

To begin with, 1876 was a very important year for America it was the 100th anniversary of the Declaration Of Independence celebrating the freedom from Britain. Also 1876 was the year that increased the number of Americans moving to the West. The 1876 election was immnesilt important as well, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and SAmuel J. Tilden were in a very close election. The irony that was present during the election was that the ‘76 election was to help blacks get their rights that they are…

The Profiriato (1876-1911), Mexico was in debt due to the war that went for years. No foreign countries invested in Mexico. Profiriato Diaz had to attract foreign investors by the advancememt in technology, transportation, and labor systems. Many upper elites and middle-class citizens benefited, but the Mexican lower classes suffered. Reform laws were established which benefited the elites and companies. Upper-class elites expropriated the Mexican lower-class lands that led them to migrate to…

This project will be produced in concert with an honors thesis in history at the University of Iowa. This work produced for publication in the Annals of Iowa will be primarily focused on the accounts of the Iowa soldiers and their motivations for killing the bloodhounds. The wider project will go farther in incorporating the story into the history of Reconstruction South Carolina relying upon the important connection of the same Robert Butler, whose bloodhounds were killed in 1865, being a chief…

Does it make sense for people to follow laws that were established more than a hundred years ago? The Texas Constitution of 1876, which is currently in use (Maxwell et al. 60), states in Article 4, section 23 that “the comptroller of public accounts, commissioner of the General Land Office, attorney general, and any statutory state officer who is elected statewide to reside at the state capital during their terms of office” (). In 2015 there was an amendment up for voting, Senate Joint…

Being a nurse professional its our job to advocate for positive changes rather its for our patients or to improve healthcare services. The legislation I will be advocating for is, Title II, H.R. 1876 (115th). The amendment title II of the Public Health Service Act limits the liability for volunteer health care professionals, which prevents healthcare works who volunteer to in a disaster or good faith to not be held liable for any harm done unintentionally. This act is currently awaiting and was…

The Constitution of 1876 is the sixth constitution by which Texas has been governed since independence from Mexico was achieved in 1836. The constitution contains some provisions that are uniquely Texan, many of which are products of the state's unusual history. The Constitution of 1876 began with a lengthy bill of rights. It declared that Texas was a free and independent state, subject only to the Constitution of the United States, that all free men have equal rights, and that the writ of…

During 1876 I feel that Native Americans were considered “less equal” perhaps not in an overall sense but considering that the thirteenth through fifteenth amendments were nearing it seems as though legislation that was aimed at helping Native Americans would have to wait until the 20th century. Just a year after the one hundredth anniversary of the Dawes Severalty Act was instituted offering allotment to Native Americans, this act would take tribes who in many cases had already been relocated…

In 1876-1900 the era of electricity had sparked with inventions and events. The era of 1876-1900 was very significant to America. This era was significant because of the invention of the light bulb, the foundation of Red Cross, and the Klondike Gold Rush. The first event that made the 1876-1900 era important to America was the invention of the light bulb. The light bulb was never really “Invented” but when Thomas Edison had made his version, it had outdone any other design at the time. Instead…
