United States Census, 1890
The United States census of 1890 was taken beginning June 2, 1890, but most of the 1890 census materials were destroyed in 1921 when a building caught fire and in the subsequent disposal of the remaining damaged records. It determined the resident population of the United States to be 62,979,766an increase of 25.5 percent over the 50,189,209 persons enumerated during the 1880 census. The data reported that the distribution of the population had resulted in the disappearance of the American frontier. This was the first census in which a majority of states recorded populations of over one million, as well as the first in which multiple citiesNew York as of 1880, Chicago, and Philadelphiarecorded populations of over one million. The census also saw Chicago rise in rank to the nation's second most populous city, a position it would hold until Los Angeles (then 57th) would supplant it in 1990. This was the first U.S. census to use machines to tabulate the collected data. Census quest ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Democrats increased their share of the House, but not by enough to regain control. With a stable economy and no cornerstone issue, Democratic gains can mostly be linked to the effects of redistricting.

1922 Nebraska's 6th Congressional District Special Election
The 1922 United States House of Representatives elections were held for the United States House of Representatives in November 1922, in the middle of President Warren G. Harding's term. Just as voters had expressed their distrust of Wilson in 1920, now voters had a chance to express the widespread feeling that Congress had failed to address economic problems, especially the brief but sharp economic recession of 1921–1922. Most of the seats that Republicans lost had long been held by Democrats, who now returned with an even stronger base in the major cities. The Republican Party lost a net of 77 seats to the opposition Democratic Party. The Republicans were neither unified nor well led, and they could boast of very few successes except tax cuts for the wealthy and for corporations, and higher tariffs that pleased manufacturing interest but raised consumer prices. With Senator Bob La Follette as their unofficial leader, some progressives formed a small but highly vocal group on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
