Odysseus deserved to return home from his journey after 20 years because it was mostly his fault. If Odysseus had told his crew about everything like why not to eat the cattle or to not open the bag of the unfavorable winds, his journey wouldn 't have taken 20 years.

The Populist Party grew out the agrarian revolt that rose because of the collapse of agriculture prices following the Panic of 1873.

It was generally believed that the U.S. Government would ultimately redeem the "greenbacks" with gold. In 1869, a group of speculators, headed by James Fisk and Jay Gould, sought to profit from this by cornering the gold market.
