Best Answer

Boosterism occurred when Western promotes tried to get people to move to different town using Propaganda whether it was true or false. An example would be saying "Rain Follows the Plow," in the 1870's Western promoters would advertise that as you move further west and farmed, God would send more rain for you. Another example would be according to William Giplin, the governor of Colorado, said that beyond the 100th meridian , is perfectly arable and the Rocky Mountains have an unlimited supply of precious metals.

What was the New South in the Civil War?

The term "New South" pertains to the American South after Reconstruction and is usually concerned with the period from 1876 to the Civil Rights Era. The concept of the New South includes the industralization of the Southern States, for example textile manufacturing, tobacco products, and steel (in the Birmingham AL area), race relations and segregation, and the rise of political power in the South at that time. The Old South (antebellum, or before the war) was replaced by the New South (a mixture of boosterism, industralization, segregation and populism) after Reconstruction.


Who invented the earth day?

Gaylord Nelson, former US Senator, was the founder of Earth Day. He believed strongly that education is the key to changing people's attitudes about the environment and he devoted much of his energy to that challenge. He died at age 89 in July 2005. Quote from Bill Clinton in 1995 regarding: THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM "The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest honor given to civilians in the United States. Twenty-five years ago this year, Americans came together for the very first Earth Day. They came together because of one American - Gaylord Nelson. As the father of Earth Day, he inspired us to remember that the stewardship of our natural resources is the stewardship of the American Dream. He is the worthy heir of the tradition of Theodore Roosevelt, and I hope that Gaylord Nelson's shining example will illuminate all the debates in this city for years to come."


Is Chicago called the windy city?

Chicago was nicknamed the Windy City not for the wind but for the politicians and city boosters who were full of "hot air."The specifics of this are somewhat in contention. Here are a few versions:Supposedly when Chicago hosted the world fair, the then mayor boasted about it so much that it became known as the Windy City.Chicago is the Windy City because of the Chicago Tribune. The editor of the Chicago Tribune was trying to promote the city as a summer resort and used the lakes breeze as one of its attractions.Chicago was in competition with New York City for the World's Fair (the one Frank Lloyd Wright debuted in), and the NYC papers called the Chicago pols "windy" in their presentations to win the exhibition. (Chicago won.)I forget the exact name of the writer who coined the phrase, but it stems from all the politicians in Chicago. The writer quipped that all the politicians talking was like a big wind blowing through the cities.The name stems from political bantering that took place between Chicago and New York over who would host the World's Fair.Here is a more extended explanation:Popular myth has it that this nickname for the Chicago was coined by Charles Dana, the editor of the New York Sun, in 1893. Chicago was competing with New York to host the 1893 Columbian Exposition, and Dana allegedly coined the name as a derogatory moniker. Supposedly the term is not a reference to the winds off Lake Michigan as one might suppose but rather refers to the Chicagoan habit of rabid boosterism and shameless boasting. To a New Yorker like Dana, Chicago was full of hot air.The story simply isn't true. The name dates to at least 1885 and clearly refers to the breezes off the lake. 1885 references include "city of winds" as well as "Windy City." This isn't new information, either. Mathew's Dictionary of Americanisms, published some 50 years ago, includes an 1887 quotation about the Windy City, but the myth persists--largely due to newspaper reporters and editors who repeat the tale without checking the facts.
