The Agricultural Revolution of the West was significantly affected by the relationship of economic developments and environmental changes between 1865 and 1898. The Homestead Act of 1862 provided many new opportunities for farmers to get an abundance of Western land in an affordable manner.

William Graham Sumner explained his view on social Darwinism through an excerpt that was displayed in a collection of essays in 1914. This accusatory text was written in the 1880s and was directed toward the poor people of America. However‚ he did not see them as less fortunate‚ which is often used synonymously with the word poor. To be unfortunate means to be unlucky; these poor citizens were put in this position by their own faults. According to Sumner‚ it was not a matter of luck‚ but a matter

The theory of Darwinism relies on scientific evidence. Darwin’s theory stated that evolution could change one type of organism into another. Darwin did not have a clear understanding of the laws of inheritance of such traits‚ because an Austrian monk‚ Gregor Mendel‚ discovered them only a few years earlier. In the 1900’s‚ geneticists incorporated Mendel’s four laws of inheritance into Darwin’s theory of evolution. They called this new theory‚ neo-Darwinism‚ in which the individual units of inheritance
