Progressive Era
The term " Progressive Era" is used to label a time of great social and economic change in the U.S. Society. This changed started of small in the socialist area, then it branched out to almost every area like the Government. In this Era people believed in Bigger government. They thought that if they fixed the education system and the workplace our society would experience great change. They believed that the only way to do this was through the government. This belief goes against one of the biggest theories of that time, Social Darwinism. Social Darwinism states that government is only there to protect the people from outside attacks and robbers. Any over stepping of this will cause here to be more power in the government hands. Schools and the workplace should be run by the people. If you are poor, than you shouldn't survive. This idea was accepted by the rich company owners. They saw that by following this theory, they can make tons of money. This theory also lead people to believe in Evolution. They had the mindset of if you want to make money then you can't believe in God. Many other historical events happened during this period. These events will be highlighted through the website. Enjoy.
