The Seattle General Strike of 1919 was a five day work stoppage by more than 65,000 people in Seattle because of fair wages not being offered to them after the War. During the war they were getting paid very good but once the war was over, of course their benefits diminished and they stopped receiving fair wages. It ended up being not successful at all because they were being called Bolsheviks creating a sentiment in which the American people would rally with the nation instead of the people of Seattle. There was also the Police strike and the Coal Miners strike.

The meaning behind "A man who builds a factory, builds a temple," is essentially the idea that the economy will prosper through providing help to the millionaires who own companies and factories because it will trickle down to the middle class and henceforth, create a strong economy. I expect to see a government who does no regulate business at all through the 1920's.

Americanism essentially is nativism in a way but it was more in reference against the Bolsheviks of Russia; However, it was still an anti foreign feeling and ideology. This essentially is shown through the Strike of Seattle, the Palmer Raids, and the Natinal Origins Act of 1924. Some may also say that the KKK is a prime example of this also.

Obviously he went to trial and the trial was essentially Darwinists vs those who believed in the bible and it turned into a media circus. The trial was the first ever trial broadcasted. Scopes ended up guilty who had to pay a $100 fine. This was significant because it told about what the 1920's was all about which was the struggle against change. "A struggle of switching from an Anglosaxon society to a more pluralistic society. "

There was bootlegging going on and it also sparked up brothels because the men will get drunk enough to want to become sexually active. Lots of money poured into the bootlegging business and ultimately almost all of America despised the idea of prohibition since it's inside of who we are in which it represent us.

This 1920 radio broadcast talked about the election results of Warden G Harding and how he won. Radio changed America dramatically because now Americans were able to hear the news right when it happens, instead of waiting a day for the newspaper to come out. Entertainment was also exploited due to the radio broadcasts since now stories can be shared through them for all those who listen. The Idea of news traveling so fast was indeed innovative for both the civilians and the military itself.

This case is significant for a variety of reasons. Sacco and Vanzetti were executed for the murder of two people at a shoe factory where Sacco's gun was found at the crime scene. The two did not receive a fair trial because there was not enough evidence or witnesses to prove them guilty or innocent.They were prosecuted mainly for their immigrant status and also because of their radical and political beliefs being anarchists. This is an example of the U.S being unfair to those who don't see eye to eye with the government.

Laissez faire is the belief that economies and businesses function best when there is no interference by the government. It comes from the French, meaning to leave alone or to allow to do. It is one of the guiding principles of capitalism and a free market economy. It is the belief that each individual's self-interest to do better, strong competition from others, and low taxes will lead to the strongest economy, and therefore, everyone will benefit as a result.

Brief History

Laissez faire is often associated with the well-known economist Adam Smith and his book Wealth of Nations (1776), which noted that human beings are naturally motivated by self-interest, and when there is no interference in their economic activities, a natural and more efficient balance in society exists.

In the 18th century, French economists became upset with taxes and subsidies that were being imposed on their businesses. They believed that governments should leave the individual businesses alone, except when social liberties were infringed upon. In the 19th century, this philosophy became mainstream in the U.S. It wasn't long after this that the 'free market' approach started to display problems, such as large gaps in distribution of wealth, poor treatment of workers, and lack of safety in the workplace. By the mid-19th century, governments in most advanced countries became more involved in protecting and representing the safety and concerns of workers and the general population. This was the beginning of many of the factory laws and consumer protection laws that are being established and modified today.

Notable Events and Dates

There are several notable events in the evolution of laissez faire economics.

Laissez faire support hit a high point in the 1800s with the Industrial Revolution.

Public opinion during the presidencies of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson started changing to support more government involvement and a less laissez faire approach, and to curb the abuses of child labor, long factory hours, and poor working environments.

Laissez faire became popular again during the strong economy of the 1920s but fizzled after the 1929 stock market crash and the Great Depression in the 1930s.

In the 1970s and '80s, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher both stressed the importance of laissez-faire, as evidence mounted around the inefficiencies in state-run government and policies.
