Talked about 1st semester test, what questions will be on it. We also talked about the Progressive Reform Era, the time of progress for the middle/lower-class.
Four Goals:
1. protecting social welfare (helping the poor)
2. promoting moral improvement (prohibition of alcohol, supported by women)
3. creating economic reform (socialism-communism, equality, government owns business, steep graduated tax. Capitalism-people own business, harder you work, more you get. Mixed economy- what U.S. is today, created by Great Depression)
4. fostering efficiency (Ford idea-pay workers 5$ to get them to want the job)
I have to research the Hepburn Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act.
