what event caused many americans to think that some union members were radicals?

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

A radical is a person who favors extreme change and is willing to use extreme actions, even violence, to bring about those changes. The Haymarket Riot caused many people to think that union members were radicals. In 1886 union members met at a place called the Haymarket Square in Chicago. Some of the speakers were anarchists. Just as the meeting was ending, someone then threw a bomb into a group of policemen killing or wounding several of them. The police then opened fire. By the time the riot was over, 50 people were injured and another 10 died of their wounds. Many people blamed the riot on union radicals even though there was no evidence that they were responsible for the bomb blast. Public support for unions dropped sharply after the riot.

tammany hall was?

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

Wait what.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all it says is tammany hall was? then the answers?

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

Tammany Hall was the Democratic Party political machine that played a major role in controlling New York City politics and helping immigrants (most notably the Irish) rise up in American politics from the 1790s to the 1960s. it usually controlled Democratic Party nominations and patronage in Manhattan from the mayoral victory of Fernando Wood in 1854 through the election of John P. O'Brien in 1932. Tammany Hall was permanently weakened by the election of Fiorello La Guardia on a "fusion" ticket of Republicans, reform-minded Democrats, and independents in 1934, and despite a brief resurgence in the 1950s, it ceased to exist in the 1960s. the Tammany Society was named for Tamanend, a Native American leader of the Lenape, and emerged as the center for Democratic-Republican Party politics in the City in the early 19th Century. the "Hall" serving as the Society's headquarters was built in 1830 on East 14th Street, marking an era when Tammany Hall became the city affiliate of the Democratic Party, controlling most of the New York City elections afterwards. the Society expanded its political control even further by earning the loyalty of the city's ever-expanding immigrant community, which functioned as a base of political capital. The Tammany Hall "ward boss" ("wards" were the city's smallest political units from 1686–1938) served as the local vote gatherer and provider of patronage. beginning in late 1845, Tammany power surged with the influx of millions of Irish immigrants to New York. from 1872, Tammany had an Irish "boss," and in 1928 a Tammany hero, New York Governor Al Smith won the Democratic presidential nomination. however, Tammany Hall also served as an engine for graft and political corruption, perhaps most infamously under William M. "Boss" Tweed in the mid-1800s. Tammany Hall's influence waned in the 20th Century; in 1932, Mayor Jimmy Walker was forced from office, and President Franklin Roosevelt stripped Tammany of federal patronage. Republican Fiorello La Guardia was elected Mayor on a Fusion ticket and became the first anti-Tammany Mayor to be re-elected. a brief resurgence in Tammany power in the 1950s was met with Democratic Party opposition led by Eleanor Roosevelt, Herbert Lehman, and the New York Committee for Democratic Voters. by the mid-1960s Tammany Hall ceased to exist. the last building to serve as the physical Tammany Hall, on Union Square, is now home to the New York Film Academy.
