We are beginning our discussions on the reform movements of the Progressive Era this week. You will need to find and research a reform movement in the history of the United States of America (from the beginning to present day) to discuss.
reform: make changes for improvement in order to remove abuse and injustices
We are going to try our discussion format on the blog now that everyone is more familiar with posting.
1) You must post the name of the reform movement you have chosen and cite a FACT about it. Name the reform movement at the beginning of your post even if you are adding on to someone else's original topic.
2) You are welcome to post on someone's original post if you have additional information to add regarding that reform movement.
3) You are NOT allowed to copy and paste. You will need to rewrite the information in your own words and also cite your source (web address or textbook page).
**You do not have to use a movement from the Progressive Era, but as we are currently studying this time period, it might be wise for some of you to utilize the extra information.
Please remember to REPLY to the original thread/post if you are adding onto their topic. This makes it much easier for others to follow and also keeps the duplicate information down to a minimum.
If you have any questions, come and see me during morning tutorials this week. They will be on Tuesday and Thursday, starting at 7:05 am. There will be no tutorials on Wednesday afternoon this week as we have a teacher's meeting.
I'm looking forward to some higher level information and insights from you this week.

Delete1. The Prohibition Movement~ Was a period in the U.S history which basically lasted almost 14 years. In the 1800s the Prohibition Movement spreaded crazy by religious groups who consider alcohol and drunkness a " national curse." Since saloons became violent and dangerous at the end of the Civil War, so in 1873 the (WCTU) Women's Christion Temperance Union started in Ohio, and wanted to get rid of alcohol.
2. By 1916, 23 out of 48 states had adapted to anti- saloon legislation. In January 1919, the 18th amendment was ratified " which placed a nationwide ban on the manufacture and transportation of intoxicating liquor.

The "Reckless decade"- farmers, small buisnessmen, and reform-minded leaders were leaded by the Populist party. They beleived that the country was corrupted in the ballot box (voting.) They also believed that the newspapers were being muzzled, or restrained from telling the whole truth. http://www.academicamerican.com/progressive/topics/progressive.html
ReplyDeleteThis would fit better under the Progressive Reform movement or era I think. I do not think it is an actual example of a reform movement on its own. Did they have any reforms in place to correct the believed corruption?

DeleteEducational Reform : The educational movement associated with schools that were meant to accept all religions and social classes. Horace Mann helped bring this to attention. The movement began i Massachusetts. Education was rare and most kids were homeschooled or worked in factories which was dangerous. They payed all with taxes to help build schools. Schools started popping up every where and there were kids overflowing the school system

Women's Suffrage Movement- Some people believed that the Women Suffrage Movement started when New Zealand gave women rights on a national level in 1893. Then Australia followed in 1902. However, England, Canada and North America did not give women rights until after WWI. Some women at the time disagreed with the 15th amendment because it did not give women the ballot. Carrie Chapman Catt was the president of the National Women's Party, which was responsible for holding marches abs strikes.

DeleteCivil Rights Movement- Nearly 100 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, African Americans in Southern states still inhabited a starkly unequal world of disenfranchisement, segregation and various forms of oppression, including race-inspired violence. “Jim Crow” laws at the local and state levels barred them from classrooms and bathrooms, from theaters and train cars, from juries and legislatures.Many leaders from within the African American community and beyond rose to prominence during the Civil Rights era, including Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, Andrew Goodman and others. They risked—and sometimes lost—their lives in the name of freedom and equality.

ReplyDelete1. The Prohibition Era: The Texas legislature started forcing saloons in Texas to close on Sundays. In 1918, they passed a law saying that there cannot be a saloon within a ten mile radius of a military camp. The legislature later passed a law prohibiting the manufacturing,sale, and transportation of any alcoholic drink in Texas.

child labor
ReplyDeleteIn the 1900s census almost 2 million children were working. Children 5 years old and older were contributing their wages for the family. Child laborers faced dangerous and unhealthy conditions at work. Women formed organizations in the early 1900s to get healthy child development. The National Child Labor Committee hired Lewis Hine to get photos of harsh conditions in child labor. In 1929 ALL STATES PREVENTED child labor to children under 14, and in 1938 Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Fair Labor Standards Act that is still protecting people today.

Prohibition
ReplyDeleteAs Texas became more populated, groups of people began to pop up and saw a need for change. The prohibition of alcohol was one of them. Prohibition was thought that eleminating it (or making it illegal)would have a decrease in crime and abuse towards woment and children, less wasted money, and disformities in children being born. The 18th amendment prohibited the making, selling, and drinking alcohol. Intrestingly enough, a person could still obtain a prescription for some "cough medicine". In the early 1930s, the 21st amendment was passed repealing Prohibition.
Texas History book, page 440.
The Cild reform is wher people were fighting for children to not have to work in dangerous conditions. In 1890 there was over 1 million children working ( ages 10 to 15 ) and went up to 2 million in 1910. The industrial workers liked to have children as workers for the reason of they are fast and work for lower wages.

Labor Reform
ReplyDeleteSince most of the populists were farmers and ranchers they wanted public warehouses where they could put there extra crops until the prices were raised so they could gain more money. They also wanted government regulation of business so that laborors would not be over worked. Page 445 of the textbook
Women's Suffrage Movement-Women were starting to get into politics. The Constitution denied women their suffrage. It was odd that women had to run businesses, raise their family on their own, and performing other important duties, but still couldn't vote after they did all that. Texas women established the Texas Woman Suffrage Association which was later called the Texas Equal Suffrage Association. Women were fighting for their right to vote for over 15 years.

-Immigration Reform-
ReplyDeleteImmigrants have moved to the United States both legally and illegally over the years in hope of a better life. Those that come legally often overstay their visa. So, rather that sending them back, Obama had proposed that these immigrants pay a fine, learn English, and become a citizen over the course of ten years. http://www.usaimmigrationreform.org/
Prohibition: A time period where alcohol was banned for certain "effects" it caused: birth defects, under age usage, women abuse, and liver damage. 18th amendment was also made to support the movement. Many churches followed the movement.

Populists movement: people were in the middle of the industrial revolution, farmers were not happy with their situation. Many farmers and ranchers that they were being ignored by the government. To get attention, people in Lampasas county formed the Farmers' Alliance to get their economic problems resolved. The alliance spread through the southern states fastly. With so many people in the alliance they formed the Populist Party (or the People's Party). They had many things to spread their political views. They supported public warehouses should be made for them, and the elimination of the national banking system. They got senators to be directly elected rather than the legislature picking them. Their party lasted 1892 to 1908.
