Mormons The Mormons were a religious group founded by Joseph Smith ( ). In 1830, Smith published the, “Book of Mormon,” which he claimed was a translation of writings given to him by an angel. The Mormon community was heavily criticized for teaching and practicing polygamy. In 1844 a mob in Illinois killed Joseph Smith and forced the group to seek some place where they could escape persecution. Under the leadership of Brigham Young the Mormons journeyed west from Illinois and eventually setled in present day Utah.

Homestead Act Stated that anyone who would agree to cultivate 160 acres of land for five years would receive title to that land from the federal government.

Dawes Severalty Act Congress passed this law to assimilate (make like the mainstream of society) Native Americans into US culture. It abolished tribal organizations and divided up reservations for the purpose of allotting land to individual Native American families. The Dawes Act turned out to be a huge failure. Most Native Americans did not want to give up their tribal identity nor be assimilated into white culture.

Transcontinental Railroad The Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroad companies built from each end of the country. They joined the railroad at Promontory Point Utah. Irish and Chinese immigrants mainly built the railroad. The Transcontinental railroad connected America and helped create unit from coast to coast.

The Grange Overproduction of farm products caused prices to drop drastically, thereby leading to less profits. Simultaneously, the cost of farm equipment and railroad rates roses. As a result farmers lost money and fell further and further into debt. Many began banding together to protect theirs interests by collectively standing up to railroads and other industries, which they felt were overcharging them. Through the grange, they pooled their resources to purchase new machinery and supplies, as well as to sell their produce without paying other distributors.

Omaha Platform Politically, Populism appealed to the “common man.” It called for the unlimited coinage of silver, government regulation of railroads and industry, a graduated income tax, and a number of election reforms.

Interstate Commerce Act This law provided for the creation of an Interstate Commerce Commission and regulated railroad rates in the name of public interest.

William Jennings Bryan The Populist Party decided to back Bryan and his wing of the Democratic party called the “free silver” group. He was made famous because of his, “Cross of Gold” speech. In it he stated, “You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold! He did not win the election and this marked the end of the Populist party.
