2 The Transformation of Immigration after 1865

3 Why does Uncle Same want more and poorer immigrants? And why would they come?

4 NO: NO NO Job Security Workman s Compensation Assistance at all for workers fired or maimed or killed, or for their families Rights to fruits of their labors Rights to organize without retaliation

5 In The Gilded Age: America is transformed by industry And connected by railroads May 10, 1869

6 And communications networks Laying the TransAtlantic Telegraph Cable 1888

7 New York Stock Exchange

8 All that Glitters is not Gold: The Gilded Age (a thin coat of gold over base metal)

9 Vanderbilt... Newport Ringling... Florida Astor...Adirondacks Vanderbilt... Manhattan

10 Increase in Wealth among American Capitalists: Income: Top 1% = Bottom 50% Property: Top 1% = More than all other Americans Biltmore the Vanderbilt s Southern residence

11 The Breakers : The Vanderbilts Northern Getaway

12 Mass Market Forces put Independent Producers out of Business

13 The New Corporate Ideology: The only law is the law of supply and demand Inequality in distribution of luxury is reasonable There is no connection between political liberty and economic liberty Liberals and Radical Republicans turn away from federal activism Elites are now the control over public interest

14 Social Darwinism Fault) (It s not Darwin s The Rich are rich because they are the fittest to succeed The Poor are poor because they are not fit enough to succeed* *(in other words, it s their own fault.)

15 And this explains Laissez Faire: There is no use denying nature: some are fit to survive, some are not So why should governments make laws that fight against nature and against economics?

16 William Graham Sumner Added his theory to the mix: Morality is relative; not the same in all cultures Immigrants from differing cultures may have poorer morals, thus Less ability to succeed

17 Thorsten Veblen, student of Sumner, wrote The Theory of the Leisure Class Veblen theorized that Conspicuous consumption was corrupting Economics was the cause of poverty, not the other way around Veblen was not popular with other economists

18 The Political Goals of Social Darwinism: If the poor are poor it is the result of their natural incapacity, therefore there cannot be wage slavery, because the term proposed an equality between the rich and the poor* The Government must: Protect Private Property Protect Virtuous Women Uphold the rights of Industrialists *we don t make wage slaves, natural incapacity does

19 Exhibit A: the Slaughterhouse Cases New Orleans water supply was being contaminated by seepage of rotting animal discards from slaughterhouses Louisiana legislates removal of slaughterhouses from the city to a single location under a single management Competitors sued under the 14 th Amendment that the Louisiana law denied them their rights to liberty and property under the due process clause. The Supreme Court ruled that Louisiana had unconstitutionally violated property rights; that the rights of business owners included the right to provide unhealthy and dangerous workplaces; in addition the Court ruled that the 14 th Amendment made the Federal government the sole protector of the citizen; thus the state had no right to protect its own citizens

20 The Republic has been replaced by Big Business Class divisions resurface under unequal distribution of wealth

21 The Underclass has a birthright to citizenship without a birthright to freedom

22 In The South: Racism and the reversal of the 14 th and 15 th Amendments Plessy v Ferguson 1896 Jim Crow Laws Disenfranchisement Forced Labor In the North: Acceptance of Southern Reversals Anglo-Saxonism: ethnocentricity and exclusion for not like us

24 The Expansion of the Agricultural West Agribusness and Family Farms

25 The Rangelands of Texas and the Southwest
