9 lugl 1896 anni - Cross of Gold Speech

Descrizione:

William Jennings Bryan delivered his famous "Cross of Gold" speech at the 1896 Democratic National Convention, passionately advocating for the unlimited coinage of silver, which he believed would relieve economic hardships and empower the common people. His dramatic concluding statement, "you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold," electrified his audience, secured his nomination for president, and symbolized the populist resistance against the gold standard and economic policies favoring the wealthy elite.
