Why president coolidge was called "silent cal? " what were his ideas for the country? what did he mean by the phrase, the "business of america is business"?

President Coolidge was called "silent Cal" because: He was a really quiet person, he was admired because he never included non-sense in his speeches and  he used to be a very concise man when talking. He even refused to use the white house phone. People used to rumor he had made a bet and that was the reason why he didn't speak that much.

Ideas for the country:

During his seven years as a president, The U.S lived a period of prosperity called the Roaring Twenties. He rejected to involve the United States in world affairs, specifically, he considered the U.S shouldn´t join the League of Nations. Shortly after he left office, the U.S sank into the Great Depression.

"The business of America is business."

His initial idea was to motivate the business community. He wanted to encourage them, to praise their importance in society, so that America could enjoy of economic prosperity. However, he believed it was also necessary to promote what drives American society forward, which is high ideals and core values, such as peace, honor and charity.

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:
