Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category The Northeastern U.S.) for Thursday, September 28, 2017:
Once its own city, it joined with a neighbor in 1898; today on its own it would be the 4th most populous city in the U.S.
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Robert Barron, a teacher from Columbia, South Carolina
Emily Dumas, a project manager from Somerville, Massachusetts
Austin Rogers, a bartender from New York, New York (2-day total: $59,900)
In the 1890s, Brooklyn itself was the 3rd most populous city in America. But, New York, and some in Brooklyn (generally those who commuted to New York for work; it was estimated that a third of Brooklyn commuted at the time) became increasing in favor of consolidation. Other Brookylnites feared losing their civic identity. In 1896, the consolidation vote finally passed, and the megalopolis of New York City occured in 1898. Many Brooklynites still refer to the annexation/consolidation as “The Great Mistake of ’98.”
