The Western frontier advanced in the years 1864 and 1900 by the establishment of democracy in America, industrialization, urbanization and the commercialization of farming. America developed socially, economically and politically. The Anglo-Americas established over 400 million acres of land and weighed down Native Americans in the Indian battles. In addition, 10 primary states joined the union, adding up to 48 states. Lastly, during this period, 3 industries started which includes mining, agriculture and cattle industry.
Organizations in America changed with the increase in the population. In addition, the long-ago political inclinations changed to the present-day civilization experienced by the people of America. Conversely, it is apparent that a frontier line endured a prehistoric state of affairs alongside the Western side. For example, a number of prehistoric events such as the presence of settlers, railroads, slavery, U.S. Cavalry and cattle rearing were significant to the development of the western frontier.
The built railroads transported settlers to the Western Frontier and their agricultural products back East to the readily available market. This led to significant growth in the Western Population. Many people obtained new land beyond the present day. This is, even though, the Plains Indians had already settled in the Western Frontier centuries before. Additionally, there was an increase in slavery where slaves were forced to work in the agricultural farms, cattle farms and mines by the settlers, as cheap labor. The U.S. Calvary physically abused people including women and children. Chief Black Kettle lost his life on account of brutal treatment by the police during this time.
It is evident that as various industries and the railway system developed, many people obtained jobs away from local regions, as a result of the development of the railway system. In addition, the status of life improved as people managed to cater to individual needs with obtainable income. Above all, the population increased over to the neighboring groups, the Indian community.
The two major political parties in the U.S. between 1870 and 1900 include the Democratic and the Republican Party. These parties were in association with distinctive groups that had significant differences on various issues.
For example, the Democratic Party was in association with the Catholic settlers. This Catholic group in the Democratic Party was in opposition to the government intrusion. They fostered individual liberation and kept a tight rein on government control. On the other hand, the Republican Party represented the native-born Protestants. They considered the state as a reforming body. Above all, they acknowledged the controlling action of the state as valid and worth the course.
For this duration of time, there were outstanding presidents of each party who had significant achievements. For example, Rutherford Hayes was a negotiator of the Republican Party in 1877-1881. He put emphasis on peace in opposition to bloodshed. James Garfield was a president of the Republican Party in 1881 who attempted to decrease tax. Chester Arthur of the Republican Party succeeded Garfield to become a far-sighted leader in the year 1881 to 1885.
He conceded the Pendleton Civil Service Act in the year 1883, provided back up to the RRD regulation and made use of Veto to manage businesses. Grover Cleveland, a Democrat in the year 1885 to 1889 extended the civil service, rejected private benefits bills and attempted to reduce the taxes. Finally, Benjamin Harrison, a Republican of the year 1889 to 1893, best known for deceitfulness, succeeded him. Later on, in year 1893 to 1897, Cleveland took power where he managed tax and labor issues.
In conclusion, there were significant minor parties during this period that contributed to the human rights and country reforms. They include the NWSA that promoted human rights and the AWSA that campaigned for country reforms. Later on, they merged in the year 1890 to NAWSA. After merging, they managed to train leaders on the creation of awareness, fostering unity and national accord.
