American sociologist Thorstein Veblen wrote of the changing social realities of nineteenth century America. In [BLANK-1], he described how social classes used conspicuous consumption in order to demonstrate their place in the social hierarchy and that each class tried to emulate the class segments above them in social space.

Tinged by the president’s innate racism and intense belief in states’ rights, [BLANK-1] ran afoul of Radical Republicans in congress. While the president had favored emancipation during the Civil War, he did not support increased rights for newly freed African Americans. He vetoed the extension of the Freedmen’s Bureau, the Civil Rights Act, and the Reconstruction Act of 1867 (which congress passed over his veto). He supported state-issued Black Codes and granted new state governments a free hand in managing local affairs. By December, 1865 (just 8 months after the end of the war), he declared Reconstruction over and the nation successfully united. Congress disagreed and fought the president on the issue of Reconstruction and civil rights for African Americans.

Acme Company’s only cash receipts are those derived from customer sales. Acme makes both cash sales and sales on account. For its credit sales, Acme collects 50% in the month of the sale, 40% in the month following the sale, and 10% in the second month following the sale. Sales on account for the month of March are budgeted at $150,000. The budgeted accounts receivable balance on March 1 is $113,000, of which $90,000 represents uncollected sales made in February and $23,000 represents uncollected sales made in January. If the total cash receipts for the month of March are budgeted at $205,000, what are the budgeted cash sales during March? 

[BLANK-1] was a union that achieved considerable success in the 1880s, attracting 700,000 members. It was popular due to its inclusivity (it welcomed skilled and unskilled workers, as well as women) and its fight for practice gains for workers. It led a workers’ strike in Texas after one of its union members was fired, but the strike was eventually broken up by the Texas Rangers. Membership in the union declined following the Haymarket Riot in 1886, when agitating for better rights for workers started to be linked to terrorism in the popular imagination.

[BLANK-1] grew into one of the United States’ largest and most important cities by the late-nineteenth century. It was known for its skyscrapers and sites of mass consumerism (such as early department stores like Marshall Field’s, Montgomery Ward, and Sears and Roebuck, co.). It expanded from a wilderness outpost to a regional market hub in the Midwest and continued to serve as a major distribution network for America’s hinterland. It was selected to host the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition due to its associations with modernity.

[BLANK-1] was a large group of protestors who marched on Washington D.C. in 1894 to demand that the government create new jobs for the large group of unemployed. In what became a continual pattern in the 1890s, federal troops were used to disperse the protestors (as they would later be used to disperse striking workers while protecting capitalist owners). The Populist Party used the outrage engendered by the treatment of these protestors to attract more workers and common people to their cause.
