The transcript had an error, thought maybe it would help for some if I posted what the transcript (I think) was supposed to be like, without the repeated part. we're going to consider the various reform movements that sprang up 00:12 during this time so if you're ready to get them brain cows milk and i know you are then 00:17 let's get to it so in this video we're basically trying to do one thing and that's to explain 00:21 how different reform movements responded to the rise of industrial capitalism in the gilded 00:26 age easy peasy lemon squeezy so when i say industrial capitalism here's what i mean now 00:31 if you've been with me in these last videos you'll remember that america was undergoing 00:34 a massive change in the way it produced goods to be sold like back in the old days artisans 00:40 and skilled laborers crafted items by hand to be sold on a small scale but during this 00:44 period factories sprang forth from the ground like athena from zeus's head and within these 00:49 factories tens of thousands of unskilled laborers worked machines day in and day out mass producing 00:55 goods to be sold on a national and international scale one of the economic realities that allowed 01:00 them to grow so quickly was the prevalence of laissez-faire capitalism and this just 01:05 means that the american government intervened very rarely in economic operations of businesses 01:10 and so without many regulations these businesses flourish when i say these businesses flourish 01:15 what i really mean is that most of the wealth they generated stayed in the hands of the 01:18 elite upper class for those working in the factories it was a different story altogether 01:23 like their wages in many cases were only barely enough to survive and add to that the exceedingly 01:27 dangerous working conditions and then add to that the 12 to 14 hour days that meant 01:32 that you went to work in the dark and returned home in the dark and then all of a sudden 01:35 you've got a whole sector of society who are eeking out a miserable existence and so in 01:40 light of all this artists and critics which included agrarians and utopians and socialists 01:45 and advocates of the social gospel they all rose up and demanded reform and let me introduce 01:49 you to some of their causes now henry george who was a politician and an economist thought 01:54 it was downright foolish that so much wealth could be generated by a nation while at the 01:58 same time so many of its citizens lived in abject poverty his solution was called the 02:02 single tax on land and according to his estimates those elite folks who owned large tracts of 02:07 land were gaining disproportionate amounts of wealth based on the increasing value of 02:11 that land and therefore they simply needed to be taxed more to even the playing field 02:16 between them and the working class okay let's switch over to utopians a good example of 02:20 an artist using utopian art to challenge industrial capitalism was edward bellamy he wrote a novel 02:26 in 1888 called looking backward in which a man goes to sleep in 1887 only to wake up 02:31 in 2000 and find that america had been transformed into a socialist utopia where capitalism had 02:36 been crushed and everyone's needs were met yeah i'd say you got that one just about wrong 02:41 anyway speaking of socialism that ancient enemy of capitalism this ideology really gained 02:45 some traction during this time and look i'm not trying to advocate for socialism here 02:49 but it's easy to understand why people gravitated toward this ideology according to the dictates 02:54 of socialism all the means of production in a society should be owned and regulated by 02:58 the community and benefit everyone more or less equally looking around at the state of 03:03 society in the late 19th century it is understandable why some people might think capitalism had 03:08 failed anyway socialism picked up some steam during this period but it never really grabbed 03:12 hold of american citizens like it did to europeans still our buddy eugene v debs who if you'll 03:16 remember was the head of a significant union we talked about in another video joined with 03:21 a few others and started the socialist party of america in 1901 he ran for president on 03:25 this party's ticket but they didn't do so well and they basically petered out after 03:29 this others who opposed industrial capitalism did so under the banner of the social gospel 03:33 christians in america had always believed that repentance and reform ought to be applied 03:37 to one's own soul but here the focus grew wider the advocates of the social gospel believe 03:42 that christian principles ought to be applied not just to oneself but to cure the ills of 03:46 society as well and in that vein throughout the last 20 years of the 19th century many 03:52 protestant preachers crusaded for social justice for the urban poor they especially set their 03:55 sights on the middle class and urged them to take up the mantle of solving urban poverty 04:00 as their christian duty so the point of all of this is that there were a lot of folks 04:03 who tried different methods to resist the kind of society that industrial capitalism 04:08 created now during the same time there was another reform movement brewing but it had 04:11 less to do with capitalism than everything i just said women especially took up the cause 04:16 of reform during this period and they did so for various causes in the last video i 04:20 introduced you to jane adams who established settlement houses to help immigrants assimilate 04:24 to american culture but also there was a big push for women's suffrage during this time 04:28 which is to say women's right to vote in 1890 elizabeth katie stanton susan b anthony founded 04:33 the national american woman suffrage association or nasa which worked tirelessly to secure 04:38 the franchise for women now i'll have to come back to that in the next unit because their 04:42 work won't bear constitutional fruit until 1920. 04:45 but during this period women also took up the cause of temperance which is the fight 04:49 against the consumption of alcohol now make no mistake drunkenness was a real problem 04:53 among urban male factory workers during this period and that was a large cause of the growing 04:58 impoverishment of the working classes so to combat this women formed the women's christian 05:02 temperance union in 1874 and they crusaded for total abstinence from alcohol and apparently 05:07 it was a popular message because they had something like 500 000 members on their roles 05:12 by 1898. 05:13 now this organization along with others like the anti-saloon league worked largely through 05:17 peaceful means like protest and trying to lobby congress to pass laws but there was 05:21 a more radical strand of women who refuse to wait for the painfully slow gears of congress 05:26 to turn and maybe the best example i can think of as carrie nation she said of herself that 05:30 she was a bulldog running along at the feet of jesus barking at what he doesn't like apparently 05:35 jesus didn't like alcohol because what kerry nation was known for was her hatchet which 05:40 she carried into saloons and hacked at liquor barrels until they spilled their contents 05:44 onto the floor she was probably the only one who could get away with that like all the 05:47 men are sitting around at the bar going i mean what do we do like can we can we find 05:52 a woman can we fight a woman while they’re having their little debate, Nation is just hacking away.
