Carry Amelia was born November 25, 1846. Carry learned to read and spent much time reading the Bible. In 1867, she married a young physician "Charles Gloyd" in Belton, Missouri. Unfortunately he was a heavy drinker. The union produced a sickly child, Charlien, whose condition her mother attributed to her husband's drinking. She left him because of his habit and inability to earn a steady living; he died six months later. To survive Carry turned to teaching and keeping rooms she would be more successful with the latter. In 1877, Carry married David Nation, a preacher, attorney and editor 19 years her senior. They moved to Texas, then to Medicine Lodge, Kansas in 1889, where David became pastor of the Christian Church. Carry taught Sunday school, saw to the needs of poor people became a jail evangelist and helped to establish a local chapter of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. The Nations were divorced in 1901 and David died in 1903. Carry completed her last speaking tour in 1910, owing to failing health. She then purchased property in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. This included a farm with a building she dubbed "Hatchet Hall," which she intended to become a school of prohibition. She crumpled on the stage in January 1911 during what would be her final oration. In June, Carry Nation died. Her remains were buried in Belton. Prohibition would become nationwide eight years later with ratification of the 18th Amendment.

William M.Tweed (April 3, 1823 - April 12, 1878) was an American politician and head of Tammany Hall, the name given to the Democratic Party political machine that played a major role in the History of New York City politics from the 1790s to the 1960s. He was convicted and eventually imprisoned for embezzling millions upon millions of dollars from new york city through political corruption and graft.

William "Boss" Tweed was the head of Tammy Hall. He was exposed for stealing 13 to 100 million dollars some say up to 200 million dollars. How did he do this?
Well very simple for a three story townhouse Boss Tweed says it cost 12.5 million dollars but really only cost a third of that price which was 4.2 million dollars.
So the tax payers of New York City paid William Boss Tweed 8.3 million dollars.

Boss Tweed tried to pay the New York times 5 million dollars so they wouldn't publish the article about him and his other bosses. He had the most power in Tammy Hall he could do whatever he wanted because no one wanted to go up against him. But there was one person who would go up against him a special prosecutor Samuel Tilden. He was the one to put William boss tweed in prison after he escaped to Cuba and Spain. After tracing him down he died in jail. He died April 12, 1878.

Born in New York City, grandson of an immigrant Scottish blacksmith at age twenty-seven he was elected as one of the city's aldermen, a group later known as the forty thieves. He served in congress briefly but then renewed his energetic interests in the city's politics and money. By 1860 he had gained control of Tammany hall, the headquarters of the city's democratic politicians and soon he had absolute control of the party. Though a variety of large-scale fraudulent transactions, Tweed and his associates, known as the Tweed Ring-fleeced the city of an amount that has been reckoned as high as $200 million. Among other ventures, he took over the city's entire printing industry; blackmailed wealthy capitalist; and oversaw the building of a new county courthouse himself taking $8 million of the $12 million cost. He was under attack for what amount to criminal dishonesty first by cartoonist Thomas Nast then by New York Times sentenced to jail fine of $250 and a year where he died 1880 that's when he died

Some of the corruption boss tweed did was that he took like $8 million dollars for himself then he got sentenced to jail for a year and he had to pay $250 dollars he tried to escape to Spain but got caught and was brought back.

Carry taught Sunday school, saw to the needs of poor people became a jail evangelist and helped to establish a local chapter of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. She spoke out not only about the evils of drinking but tobacco and women's immodest dress as well. The Nations were divorced in 1901 and David died in 1903. Carry completed her last speaking tour in 1910, owing to failing health. She then purchased property in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. This included a farm with a building she dubbed "Hatchet Hall," which she intended to become a school of prohibition. She crumpled on the stage in January 1911 during what would be her final oration. In June, Carry Nation died isolated and dirt poor in Leavenworth, Kansas. Her remains were buried in Belton. Prohibition would become nationwide eight years later with ratification of the 18th Amendment. In her fight for temperance, Nation had contributed significantly to this outcome.



Like so many aspects of early American history, the subject of alcoholism and the resulting temperance movement in the nineteenth century can be brought to life for us today through the works of folk artists. Although intemperance in America did not become an issue until much later, alcoholism was apparently a problem as early as 1633, when, in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, John Holmes was punished for drunkenness. There was no serious attempt to limit the use of fermented and distilled beverages, which in some ways were a necessary evil in the days before refrigeration, but were also sometimes considered beneficial to life in the colonies.

Jane Addams (1860-1935) was a Progressive reformer and the most prominent advocate for the settlement house movement, which was dedicated to improving social conditions for immigrants and other residents of urban slums. In 1931, she became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

In 1889, Addams and her friend Ellen Gates Starr co-founded Hull House in Chicago to provide social and educational services to the predominantly immigrant residents of the city's crowded working-class tenements. In 1910, she published Twenty Years at Hull House, a significant book that recounted her experiences in Chicago and her thoughts on ethical aspects of life in the Progressive Era. Addams' writing invoked several key elements of the "social gospel," a Protestant-based philosophy that determined to bring Christian morality into all aspects of society and the economy. She was a leading supporter of Theodore Roosevelt when he ran for president in 1912 on the Progressive (or "Bull Moose") Party ticket. Addams also founded the Woman's International League for Peace and Freedom before winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931.
