Guizen Del Canto AP US History Bailey P3 The American People:?Creating a Nation and a Society Chapter 19: Politics & Reform Politics in the Gilded Age Politics, Parties, Patronage, and Presidents In the late nineteenth-century, Americans ?mistrusted organized power and believed in harmony of interests and laissez-faire.? The federal government was passive and interfered little. The two major parties did not differ in principles, but patronage. Elected presidents would reward the faithful with government positions. Party affiliation generally reflected interest in important cultural, religious, and ethnic questions. Republicans ? ?Regulate moral life but not economic development? - Northeastern Yankee industrialists and Scandinavian Lutherans

Gun politics in the United States

?We should not blame a gun itself for any crime or any acts of violence, any more than we can blame a pen for misspelling a word.? Proven by this statement belonging to Robert Bennett but even more notably by the malevolence of the world?s past, time after time it has been proven that guns do not kill people; in fact it is the people themselves that do. Remaining stationary and innocuous until a force and a finger consciously pulls the trigger, a gun is and will always remain an inanimate object that only becomes dangerous when a deranged or wicked mind has willed it do so.
