progressive era

1. Progress: moving forward; having sucess
2. The progressive era was in the 1890s to 1920s because this was  was a time  of widespread social activism and political reform as wikapedia said. 
3. Issues:
 -the city grew
-tons of people started working
-large companies had advantages over small companies
-poverty
-rise of crime
-drugs and alcohol
achievements:
-women could vote
-child labor laws
4. All of the reforms were to better the world and they thought that they would all create change. 
5. 
Essential goals worth striving for/ Necessary changes- votes for women
Good Goals – not strictly necessary but could really improve life- prohibition
Strange Goal-minimum wage laws
Not a good idea- improving housing conditions
