Yellow journalism.  He was one of the most important people in setting the United States in motion towards it's obsession with graphic images... be they real or not.

Essentially, the reform was intended to give control of the presidential nomination process back to the voters.  Over time, party leaders had usurped that process, and only wealthy, white males were getting nominated.  Basically, the "old boy" network was thriving.  \n\nThere's a lot of disagreement as to whether the reform made a positive difference, and our present-day process indicates that if there were reforms in the 60's, we've watered them down considerably since then.\n\nThe Internet has a lot of info on this -- just type "McGovern-Fraser Reform" in any search engine.\n\nGood luck!

Sir:\n\nWe congratulate the American people upon your re-election by a large majority. If resistance to the Slave Power was the reserved watchword of your first election, the triumphant war cry of your re-election is Death to Slavery.\n\nFrom the commencement of the titanic American strife the workingmen of Europe felt instinctively that the star-spangled banner carried the destiny of their class. The contest for the territories which opened the dire epopee, was it not to decide whether the virgin soil of immense tracts should be wedded to the labor of the emigrant or prostituted by the tramp of the slave driver?\n\nWhen an oligarchy of 300,000 slaveholders dared to inscribe, for the first time in the annals of the world, "slavery" on the banner of Armed Revolt, when on the very spots where hardly a century ago the idea of one great Democratic Republic had first sprung up, whence the first Declaration of the Rights of Man was issued, and the first impulse given to the European revolution of the eighteenth century; when on those very spots counterrevolution, with systematic thoroughness, gloried in rescinding "the ideas entertained at the time of the formation of the old constitution", and maintained slavery to be "a beneficent institution", indeed, the old solution of the great problem of "the relation of capital to labor", and cynically proclaimed property in man "the cornerstone of the new edifice" — then the working classes of Europe understood at once, even before the fanatic partisanship of the upper classes for the Confederate gentry had given its dismal warning, that the slaveholders' rebellion was to sound the tocsin for a general holy crusade of property against labor, and that for the men of labor, with their hopes for the future, even their past conquests were at stake in that tremendous conflict on the other side of the Atlantic. Everywhere they bore therefore patiently the hardships imposed upon them by the cotton crisis, opposed enthusiastically the proslavery intervention of their betters — and, from most parts of Europe, contributed their quota of blood to the good cause.\n\nWhile the workingmen, the true political powers of the North, allowed slavery to defile their own republic, while before the Negro, mastered and sold without his concurrence, they boasted it the highest prerogative of the white-skinned laborer to sell himself and choose his own master, they were unable to attain the true freedom of labor, or to support their European brethren in their struggle for emancipation; but this barrier to progress has been swept off by the red sea of civil war.\n\nThe workingmen of Europe feel sure that, as the American War of Independence initiated a new era of ascendancy for the middle class, so the American Antislavery War will do for the working classes. They consider it an earnest of the epoch to come that it fell to the lot of Abraham Lincoln, the single-minded son of the working class, to lead his country through the matchless struggle for the rescue of an enchained race and the reconstruction of a social world.

It was clever on his part actually. You have to admire that if only that. He manipulated the US into helping him overthrow Batista then told the US to screw themselves and kicked out the mob and all american business. So he really is a brilliant man.

The Plot to Size the White House\n\nIt was not Marine General Smedley Darligton Butler (as you are thinking); he exposed the plot that tried to recruit him as America's Fascist Mussolini Dictator to depose President Franklin D.

I'd look at the Monroe Doctrine (i think).  It has a statement by a former president that says that the American dream should be for the country to touch the atlantic and the pacific.  \nUS rail system encouraged travelers & those moving by providing efficient transportation.\nFed Govt encouraged this by buying, annexing, and winning by force property that is now the United States.\nNative Americans presented a barrier and discouraged those moving to live in a place where raids were frequent.  The US should have made terms with the Native Americans to make peace in the beginning.\nImmigrants went where ever jobs were needed, so they were always ready to move somewhere else if they could get a job.\nHope it helps.

This isn't really an answer per se, but I wanted to recommend a book to you.  It's about how the Republicans won Middle America from the Democrats, and I thought you might find it interesting.\n\nIt's called "What's the Matter With Kansas: How Conservatives Won the Heart of America" by Thomas Frank and it talks about how the Republicans duped Middle Americans with faith-based problems, and then screwed them over economically.  It's quite well-written, and sort of relates to your question.

Please give some examples of occasions when the U S A was made a scapegoat ,I can remember times when it certainly was not ,Colonel North .Cuba and the bay of pigs ,Colonel Noriega in panama, their involvement in the assassination of president Allende of Chile and his replacement by the murderous Pinochet. Allende's only sin was that he was a socialist but it was a mortal one in the eyes of the American administration.The list is a very long one I could  carry on,if there are people in the world who find fault with America perhaps America has given them good reason

1. Abraham Lincoln--kept the nation together in its most difficult time and was comitted to stopping the spread of slavery.\n\n2. George Washington--gave the country a chance to grow and set many precedents for the future of the country.\n\n3. Franklin Roosevelt--Saw the country through the Great Depression and World War II, promoted essential anti-poverty measures.\n\n4.

Because nothing has ever been seen like it in the history of mankind.  The US was looked upon as a nation that could tackle any problem and solve it. The average American had conveniences that only the extremely wealthy had in other parts of the world. Basically even the poor in America lived better that over 50% of the world.  America use to be a beacon of what was right and good for it's people and the world. It's never been done before and it sure hasn't been done lately under the Bush administration.  Maybe someday soon America can get back up on the hill and shine a beacon of hope and strength that all can achieve.  First we have to get rid of the Republicans.

Well it was basically a decade of the rise of republicanism. It was where not much progress happened. IT kinda stagnated. It was dominated by scandals as well such as the teapot dome scandal. At the end, it was when the depression started.
