Albert May Todd's 1898 speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, reminding Congress of the Crédit Mobilier scandal and the fraud and collusion of the railroads. Todd was a successful businessman as well as a Populist. His story is interesting, especially in light of the belief today that business and the people are on different sides.

MakingHistory
Making History is the top-level thing I do, as a historian, teacher, and writer. I create content, based on either original primary research or to present the findings of other historians to my students. This channel will cover several topics I am researching or teaching, and reflections on the ways that history helps us understand our current world.
