Although government is corrupt we need to identify these voting schemes beforehand. Unlike the immigrants in the novel, they were oblivious to the political corruption taking place in Chicago. They are uneducated foreign people in need of money, living on low wages at the verge of starvation. Packingtown is packed with swindlers, from law enforcement to bartenders to muggers, everyone loses their morals for money.
This image was a very common cartoon in the late 1800’s to call out the corruption of the government. The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 was an attempt to preserve economic competitiveness and limit companies' abilities to corrupt the government. Americans believed that the government should be controlled by the people, like a democratic republic needs to be, and not in the hands of big corporations. Document 5 emphasizes this idea, claiming that government should be in the hands of the people, and that the people, if given power, can right the wrongs made by corrupt government officials, and with the people in charge, injustice, oppression, and poverty would cease. Political unrest was common in this time, and though big business controlled the government, the people sought change, and believed they could make a
The abuse of power wasn’t just present amongst corporate businesses but also amongst politicians. This type of corruption led to one of the most well-known political corruption known for its infamy of machine politics was Tammany Hall. The Tammy Societies in the United States exercised a powerful influence in shaping the destinies and crystalizing the principles of our government, and having contributed to the development to our present government Tammany Hall was created as a means to oppose the Federalist Party and was headquarters of the Democratic Party in New York City headed by William Marcy Tweed also known as “Boss Tweed”. One of the most well-known political cartoonist of the time was named Thomas Nast, who drew about the political corruption of Tammany Hall at the time.
The 29th president of the United States, Warren Harding, is known for very few things including having one of the worst presidencies in history and being part of arguably the biggest financial scandal in the U.S. The Teapot Dome scandal is the leasing of three oil reserves, that were property of the Department of the Navy, to Sinclair and Doheny. Albert Fall was the one who made the deal with Sinclair and Doheny because he was having financial issues and they were going to give him no-interest loans and gifts. Warren Harding ended up becoming a pawn for Sinclair and Doheny to make these transfers happen. Harding was a huge piece in the scandal and had a large impact whether he was a knowledgeable player in the purchases and coverup or not.
The cartoon by Thomas Nast was created to show that the spoils system was corrupt. The definition of an autocratic leader is “a person invested with or claiming to exercise absolute authority.” Corruption is usually used so that the leader always gets their way, so the spoils system made Andrew Jackson an autocratic leader. In the advice that Van Buren gave to Andrew Jackson, it stated that the person Jackson wanted to appoint would be bad for the people. The reason Jackson wanted to appoint the person was because that person supported him in his campaign.

Of Mice and Men “listen, nigger,” she said. “you know what I can do to you if you open your trap?” (pg.80). This shows how the word “nigger” is used to control a black person.

Thomas Nast, 1840-1902, was a political cartoonist who is known by some historians as “the father of modern political American political cartooning” (Simpson, ANBO). This is due in part because Nast was the person who created the donkey symbol to represent the Democratic Party and elephant symbol to represent the Republican Party. Moreover, Nast earned this title because he changed the way cartoonists delivered their context. Before the Civil War cartoonist relied on dialogue rather than images to get the message across, however; Nast used the image to convey the message of his cartoons (Simpson, ANBO). Subsequently, Nast reached the illiterate community more effectively than other cartoonists of his time.
The piece of propaganda I chose was "We can do it!" by J. Howard Miller, this artwork was intended to be used as a power for women and symbolize them as a strong, united and powerful. Rosie the Riveter is the most iconic pieces of propaganda that were used during the World War. This propaganda called women into action and made others see that women weren't just meant to be in their homes cleaning, cooking, taking care of the kids and waiting on the arrival of their husbands from work. It instead showed that women were powerful symbols and deserve way more and pushed women to find jobs outside their homes which gave them a sense of independence and the ability to show the world how strong women can truly be.
