Today we started presenting the blog/project over chapter nine.First we talked about worker safety and workers compensation and other different things to make work places safer. OSHA is an organization that made sure work places were safe for the workers and would shut them down if they werent safe enough.Next Nelson talked about prohibition. it was what banned the making of alcohol. Before the progressive era everybody would drink. it was uncommon if you didnt. a lot of immigrants drank a lot.Drinking also caused abuse of their spouses. Women were a big part of pushing to make alcohol illegal because the drunk husbands would come home and beat their wife and children or lose their jobs. they would also cheat on their wives when drunk.This was the 18th ammendment which was making alcohol illegal.Mr. Bruns had to leave to go coach a basketball game so Nelson is going to finish tomorrow. Before he left he talked about getting daily blogs and message board posts done every week.The rest of the period we had a study hall with Ms. Wellman. we worked on daily blogs and message board posts.
