| Muckrakers' significance on today |
|
Definition
| We expect the government to pass laws to solve the problem that was in the way. It used to be there before the muckrakers. We expected the government to protect private property, and 3/3 protected our country, so the migrators ended up with things wrong within our country influencing the middle class. People who had money had some influence on the government had an education that the middle class influence them by opening their eyes to the problems that made them realized that we have got to do something about this. So, the middle class began to take on some of the ideas that those red neck flowers told the government got to pass laws to protect people that would be the essence of progress it is, and it's what God is to where we are. Today, these are our ideas of which is the government's responsibility. Now, we think that the government's responsibility is to pass laws that protect everybody from everything which came out of progressivism. Muckrakers influenced the middle-class to develop progressivism. Everything but the Quakers wrote about child labor, women, and their lack of rights about corrupt and crooked government about everything wrong. The billing plans wondered how it changed, and it realized it could pass law changes. |

He called on the faculty of the University of Wisconsin experts to help the legislators in Wisconsin write laws on economics and on regulating business laws which is in the state of Wisconsin. He couldn't do anything outside and in other states but when railroads were operated in Wisconsin, they had to adhere to rates for past years for freight. They had to adhere to schedules that they set. they had to accept and work within the guidelines of a number of Newton Laws that regulated them while going to Wisconsin. It is taken up to a federal level and we get a boost from that, with that novel by Upton Sinclair called The Jungle that turns people's stomachs with his descriptions of the things that went on the slaughterhouse floor away. Our food was processed. |

| Subtreasuries were the idea of the populist of the farmers. The part of it was to have the federal government build warehouses at the railroad side, warehouses where farmers could store their crops instead of storing them in railroad company warehouses so they wanted the governor to get into competition with private business with railroads. At once, they stored their crops to get those government warehouses. The farmers would only use them to store crossed as collateral for short-term loans from the government. Now, they want the government to get into competition with the banks and the insurance companies that are the farmers. The farmers get borrowed money. This was the kernel with the basis of the populists ideal. Government regulating business and when necessary government competing with private districts in order to protect American citizens from this subtreasury idea. |

The Louisiana state law that required segregated public transportation serve said explicitly that we get railroad cars. The citizen's committee would get a The light-skinned black man to buy a ticket in a white car on a railroad. Then, as the train started and the city was in fact black and utilized it to get arrested for violating a segregation law that would mean he needs to go to court and get evicted of breaking the code that will allow them to take their case to the next higher court on appeal and they would appeal it up as far as they had to go before they could get that Louisiana segregation Law declared unconstitutional. They went all the way to U.S. Supreme Court and there it backfired on them. The Supreme Court says that if one race is inferior to the other competition, then the Constitution can't put them on the same plane and it reinforced Louisiana segregation law and it was used as a presset yet to create a strict racial segregation |

| Spanish-American War on today |

Definition
| The Spanish- American War's importance of most people would say the emergence of Theodore Roosevelt who made himself the star of the Spanish-American War. He was the hero of the war so far as the press made him to the American people and that's what launched upon his elected political career finally into the White House where he was the real activist president who took a lead in this progressive idea of the government getting into protecting the people to pass in law's business. An alternative importance how it suggests is that when we won the Spanish-American War, not only did we win from Cuba's independence but also the Philippines. Then we found our way of neither group of these people feel that humans nor the Filipinos had the developing education to govern themselves so we hung on to the oldest areas. The Phillippines is of great importance because it's in the Japanese sphere of influence and women to get down to the 1930s.

| The New South is the idea that the South in the 1880s-1890s needed to leave is all cotton and corn-based economy and begin doing what the Yankees were doing investing in the industry and banking. This created a diversified economy which was an idea that the day should greeted with enthusiasm but the reality was that there was just no money in the cell to invest in cotton mills or much of anything else. In terms of industry, there were exceptions. As an example, Birmingham was a city created out of not even a mountain settlement just some coal and iron deposits in North Central Alabama that became some small competition for Pittsburgh and other iron producing areas in at the door but firm that I hear would not become enough of an economic driver to ever make to South. |

It got workers used to having an organization and then evaporate that the American Federation of Labor was one of two big labor organizations that filled the boy. It is an organization of artisans, craft unions, people like cigarmakers, people like electricians, people like shoemaker's people had a craft and ideal unions became members. Therefore, it becomes a pretty big labors organization. There was also the Congress of industrial organizations, which is a group or an amalgam of factory worker's unions. These are people who don't have specialized skills that would allow them to make craft aisle. There are people who pork on the production line or shop floor. There are laborers in every sense so these two organizations were working people's unions that will fill that void left by Knights of Labor and they will be the drivers of Labor's increase of power in the process of labor going from powerless to by the time we get down to the mid-1950s or early 1960s.

| The Spanish American War was fought to free Cuba, but the first action took place on the other side of the globe, in the Philippines islands. The Spanish American War was an armed conflict between Spain and the United States in 1898. Hostilities began in the aftermath of the internal explosion of USS Maine in Havana Harbor in Cuba, leading to U.S. intervention in the Cuban War of Independence. The Spanish-American War has a major historical significance because even though the war did give great power to the U.S., but we had the economic growth that give the U.S. the great power from previous years ago. Before the Spanish-American war, the congress passed the Teller Amendment that was promising that the U.S. would leave Cuba independent. |
