In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 6 Topic 11 of the AP U.S. History curriculum which is set in period 6 (1865-1898).
During the Gilded Age artists and critics deployed their talents to protest against the abuses of unrestrained capitalism. Some solutions included Henry George's Single Tax, while others took up the Social Gospel and tried to cure society's ills through works of justice.
Women also fought for reform during this time. In addition to the push for women's suffrage, women also took up the cause of temperance as well. To this end they formed the National Women's Temperance Union and the Anti-Saloon League.
If you have any questions, leave them below and Heimler shall answer forthwithly.
This video is aligned with the AP U.S. History Curriculum and Exam Description for Unit 6 Topic 11, and all the key concepts thereunto appertaining.

oh yeah another day of heimler makes me almost excited to learn.
The transcript had an error, thought maybe it would help for some if I posted what the transcript (I think) was supposed to be like, without the repeated part.
we're going to consider the various reform movements that sprang up
00:12
during this time so if you're ready to get them brain cows milk and i know you are then
00:17
let's get to it so in this video we're basically trying to do one thing and that's to explain
00:21
how different reform movements responded to the rise of industrial capitalism in the gilded
00:26
age easy peasy lemon squeezy so when i say industrial capitalism here's what i mean now
00:31
if you've been with me in these last videos you'll remember that america was undergoing
00:34
a massive change in the way it produced goods to be sold like back in the old days artisans
00:40
and skilled laborers crafted items by hand to be sold on a small scale but during this
00:44
period factories sprang forth from the ground like athena from zeus's head and within these
00:49
factories tens of thousands of unskilled laborers worked machines day in and day out mass producing
00:55
goods to be sold on a national and international scale one of the economic realities that allowed
01:00
them to grow so quickly was the prevalence of laissez-faire capitalism and this just
01:05
means that the american government intervened very rarely in economic operations of businesses
01:10
and so without many regulations these businesses flourish when i say these businesses flourish
01:15
what i really mean is that most of the wealth they generated stayed in the hands of the
01:18
elite upper class for those working in the factories it was a different story altogether
01:23
like their wages in many cases were only barely enough to survive and add to that the exceedingly
01:27
dangerous working conditions and then add to that the 12 to 14 hour days that meant
01:32
that you went to work in the dark and returned home in the dark and then all of a sudden
01:35
you've got a whole sector of society who are eeking out a miserable existence and so in
01:40
light of all this artists and critics which included agrarians and utopians and socialists
01:45
and advocates of the social gospel they all rose up and demanded reform and let me introduce
01:49
you to some of their causes now henry george who was a politician and an economist thought
01:54
it was downright foolish that so much wealth could be generated by a nation while at the
01:58
same time so many of its citizens lived in abject poverty his solution was called the
02:02
single tax on land and according to his estimates those elite folks who owned large tracts of
02:07
land were gaining disproportionate amounts of wealth based on the increasing value of
02:11
that land and therefore they simply needed to be taxed more to even the playing field
02:16
between them and the working class okay let's switch over to utopians a good example of
02:20
an artist using utopian art to challenge industrial capitalism was edward bellamy he wrote a novel
02:26
in 1888 called looking backward in which a man goes to sleep in 1887 only to wake up
02:31
in 2000 and find that america had been transformed into a socialist utopia where capitalism had
02:36
been crushed and everyone's needs were met yeah i'd say you got that one just about wrong
02:41
anyway speaking of socialism that ancient enemy of capitalism this ideology really gained
02:45
some traction during this time and look i'm not trying to advocate for socialism here
02:49
but it's easy to understand why people gravitated toward this ideology according to the dictates
02:54
of socialism all the means of production in a society should be owned and regulated by
02:58
the community and benefit everyone more or less equally looking around at the state of
03:03
society in the late 19th century it is understandable why some people might think capitalism had
03:08
failed anyway socialism picked up some steam during this period but it never really grabbed
03:12
hold of american citizens like it did to europeans still our buddy eugene v debs who if you'll
03:16
remember was the head of a significant union we talked about in another video joined with
03:21
a few others and started the socialist party of america in 1901 he ran for president on
03:25
this party's ticket but they didn't do so well and they basically petered out after
03:29
this others who opposed industrial capitalism did so under the banner of the social gospel
03:33
christians in america had always believed that repentance and reform ought to be applied
03:37
to one's own soul but here the focus grew wider the advocates of the social gospel believe
03:42
that christian principles ought to be applied not just to oneself but to cure the ills of
03:46
society as well and in that vein throughout the last 20 years of the 19th century many
03:52
protestant preachers crusaded for social justice for the urban poor they especially set their
03:55
sights on the middle class and urged them to take up the mantle of solving urban poverty
04:00
as their christian duty so the point of all of this is that there were a lot of folks
04:03
who tried different methods to resist the kind of society that industrial capitalism
04:08
created now during the same time there was another reform movement brewing but it had
04:11
less to do with capitalism than everything i just said women especially took up the cause
04:16
of reform during this period and they did so for various causes in the last video i
04:20
introduced you to jane adams who established settlement houses to help immigrants assimilate
04:24
to american culture but also there was a big push for women's suffrage during this time
04:28
which is to say women's right to vote in 1890 elizabeth katie stanton susan b anthony founded
04:33
the national american woman suffrage association or nasa which worked tirelessly to secure
04:38
the franchise for women now i'll have to come back to that in the next unit because their
04:42
work won't bear constitutional fruit until 1920.
04:45
but during this period women also took up the cause of temperance which is the fight
04:49
against the consumption of alcohol now make no mistake drunkenness was a real problem
04:53
among urban male factory workers during this period and that was a large cause of the growing
04:58
impoverishment of the working classes so to combat this women formed the women's christian
05:02
temperance union in 1874 and they crusaded for total abstinence from alcohol and apparently
05:07
it was a popular message because they had something like 500 000 members on their roles
05:12
by 1898.
05:13
now this organization along with others like the anti-saloon league worked largely through
05:17
peaceful means like protest and trying to lobby congress to pass laws but there was
05:21
a more radical strand of women who refuse to wait for the painfully slow gears of congress
05:26
to turn and maybe the best example i can think of as carrie nation she said of herself that
05:30
she was a bulldog running along at the feet of jesus barking at what he doesn't like apparently
05:35
jesus didn't like alcohol because what kerry nation was known for was her hatchet which
05:40
she carried into saloons and hacked at liquor barrels until they spilled their contents
05:44
onto the floor she was probably the only one who could get away with that like all the
05:47
men are sitting around at the bar going i mean what do we do like can we can we find
05:52
a woman can we fight a woman while they’re having their little debate, Nation is just hacking away.
thx a lot!!
