NOT SO GILDED AGE: THE NEED FOR PROGRESSIVISM

DOWN TO BUSINESS Essential Question What is the purpose of Unions? Why was the Plessy v. Ferguson case so historic?

WHY DO I CARE, MISS. MCCORMACK? The turn of the century was a time period in which America began to set a foundation for the type of modern and powerful nation it would develop into during the 20th Century. Industry, technology, culture and much more was set in place to create a president for the modern American lifestyle that so many have aspired to achieve.

PROGRESS IN ACTION Progressive Movement: reform movement to “fix” social issues that America was facing.

A FEW PROGRESSIVE ISSUES Welfare Concerns (health, education, poverty, etc.) Suffrage Cause (women’s right to vote) Worker’s/Children’s Rights Business Regulations Graft Issues (anti-corruption in local elections) Moral Issues (drinking, domestic abuse, etc.) Conservation Efforts (environmental protection)

BIG BUSINESS REGULATIONS Sherman Antitrust Act: made it illegal to create trusts that interfered with free trade exploitation & unsafe conditions forced workers to ban together

THE NEED TO BAN TOGETHER Labor Unions: an organization of employees formed to bargain with the employer for better conditions, wages, etc.

PROGRESS OF UNIONS Unions fought for: employers hate unions fair wages safer job sites fewer hours employers hate unions feared loss in profits
