Today is a transition day. We started class off with talking about semester tests. New topic is what affect did the progressive era have 1890-1920. Lots of immigrants came, native americans wars are over, still lots of corruption in government.
Progressives had 4 major goals
1. protecting social welfare-helping poor
2. promoting moral improvement- women wanted to get rid of alcohol, prohibition,
3. creating economic reform- Capitalism is when the people own the businesses, socialism is when government owns the business similar to communism. Trying to change how our country run and not fall apart.
4. fostering efficiency -pay workers more, better equipment, better training.
my two topics for the assigned blog are
1. women suffrage moment 19th amendment
2. teddy Roosevelt back round
