Document Project
THE DOCUMENT PROJECT requires the following documents relating to the first presidential administration of Grover Cleveland [1885-1889]. This period is critical in understanding the history of the United States: a slice in the history of industrialization and the costs pf “creative destruction.” This period extended over the labor unrest of 1886. including the Haymarket Affair, and the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887.
QUESTION:
How did President Grover Cleveland describe the goals and achievements of his administration? Did he admit to any shortcomings or failures? Can criticisms of Cleveland be found in the platforms of the Republican Party, or the Inaugural Address of his successor? Was Cleveland honest in the discussions of his policies? Does he ever present weak or false arguments as if they were indisputable truths? What were his expressed attitudes towards business, farmers, and workers? How did Cleveland view economic and social reforms? Does he seem to anticipate any future crisis caused by dramatic changes?
