The final section chronicles the rising social and economic tensions of the late Gilded Age. This period saw significant legislative activity under the "Billion-Dollar Congress" during Benjamin Harrison's presidency.
Definition The "Billion-Dollar Congress" earned its nickname by being the first to pass a federal budget exceeding one billion dollars.
Example The McKinley Tariff of 1890 significantly raised taxes on foreign products, demonstrating the protectionist policies of the era.

Highlight Jacob Coxey's march to Washington in 1894 represented growing social unrest during the depression.
Quote "Bryan turned the Demo-Populist campaign into a nationwide crusade."

Example Campaign strategies relied heavily on spectacle, featuring brass bands, flags, and crowd-pleasing events to attract voters.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
