The Unfinished Nation: The Progressive Era
Documents the progressive era, a period of major reform efforts reacting to the changes brought on by industrialization and urbanization of the Industrial Revolution. While this program examines the more prominent successes of the movement--women’s suffrage, labor reform, prohibition, and monopoly reform--it also discusses the groups for which the era brought little change, including African Americans, immigrants, and women's social status. The program also highlights Jane Addams and the Hull House and explains social theories behind United States immigration, touching on Anglo-Saxon conformity, cultural pluralism, and the melting pot myth.

Podcast
This podcast started off explaining how the japenese imperial army would of build nucleur bombs in the world war two era. It also explained how Benjamin Franklin may of not discovered lightning by building a kite and flying it. Then it discussed the progressive era which basically was a period in which we fixed all the what had been done in the modernization period. The progressive era was when there were basic standards established to things we consumed and where we worked. There were grades on meats in which it had to pass in order for it to be sold and consumed. There were also better working conditions including less hours, and safer work.
for the progressive quest, where are the questions we have to ans.?

I Learned...
- Progressive era --> reforms
- moving foward basically
- due to modernizing and urbanization we had to make some changes
- monoploies and trusts were bad, putting smaller business out
- alocohol consumption must end
- better meat-packing conditions
- working conditions
- everything harmful and unsanitary
The Main Idea...
The Progressive Era called for change in our urbanized society. We had become quite modern but working conditions, the way we packed meat, etc. was unsanitary and not healthy for the community.
Progressivism kind of strange because they say freedom but they want to ban consumption or selling of liquor.
Movie Night
This video was about the progressive era and basically making america safe to live in by giving it standards. At this time alcahol was a big problem because people were oftenly getting drunk, therefore alcahol was prohibited from sales and illegal in the US. It was a combination of ofganizations to fix our nation from modernazation such as the Square Deal as presented by Theodore Roosevelt. This gave standards in jobs, food, railroads, and it gave standardy to monopoly which made it hard for a big company to monopilize its industry.
