Teapot Dome Scandal

Watch President Harding 10 min video:

 

Harding's reputation did not long survive his death, as scandal after scandal came to light. After it was discovered that Secretary Fall had received several hundred thousand dollars from oilmen Harry Sinclair and Edward Doheny, to whom he had leased naval oil reserves in California and at Teapot Dome, Wyo., the name TEAPOT DOME was linked with Harding's as a symbol of corruption. Fall, finally convicted of bribery, went to jail, as did Forbes and others. Daugherty, dismissed by Coolidge, barely escaped their fate. Harding's name was further blackened by a book by Nan Britton and by unfounded rumors that he had committed suicide or been murdered.

  Read p 509 second column.  How did Harding die?Why did he feel that he was betrayed by his friends?

   "Ohio Gang"  Harding's friends that he
                                 appointed to political office.
 

        Harding's death  came suddenly  when
the President became ill and died.  Some
believed he was depressed that his friends
betrayed him.  Others believe he was murdered.
