My Smore Flyer
oil
the oil industry went crazy when a guy named Rockefeller was in control of everything. rockefeller turned his oil company into a monopoly and the workers had hard work days and got paid poorly. I am ashamed Rockefeller and the government for taking advantage of the workers. My evidence is a picture of Rockefeller taking control of everything.
lightbulb
the lightbulb was one of Thomas Edison's inventions in 1979. All types of industries ues it in their factories so the employers could work efficiently at night. I am proud of Edison's invention for making people's lives and jobs better. my evidence is a picture of the bright lighting in a factory.
expansion of electicity
The expansion of electricity made everyones life better everywhere they went. It changed the world, it gave us lightbulbs and electrcity everywhere instead of carosine lamps and candles. I am proud of the government for spreading electricity throughout cities because it changed peoples lives from sitting at home to working, lots of peoples lives changed when electricty got spread throughout their houses. My evidence is a advertisment showing what you get with electricity inside your house.
new immigrants
The new immigrants came to the US after Roosevelt convinced people on giving them a chance to live in the US. Factories all around the world gave them a shot at a new life, but they didn't get paid fairly. I am proud and ashamed at the government, proud of giving them a new oppertunity at life and ashamed at how they got paid. My evidence is a picture of alot of immigrants arriving in NYC.
pull factors
The pull factors were the main reason why immigrants decided to move to the US. The immigrants wanted to work or live in the US. Because of job opportunities or for the freedom of life. I am proud of the American society and government for letting immigrants work and live in the US. My evidence is a bunch of immigrants working in a US factory.
push factors
The push factors were the other reason why immigrants decided to move to the US. The immigrants hated the way they were being treated or wanted to get away from where they lived, they wanted to live a differnet style/culture. I am proud of the American society and government for letting immigrants have another chance at life. My evidence is a picture of the reasons of being pushed from their orgin country.
subways
The subways created by Alfred Beach was a way to get from point a to point b fast and cheap. Subways would get people to work if they lived far away and didn't have to pay alot for another transportation vehicle, but unknowing they had political posters all over the subways to get the thought on there mind of important stuff going on with America. I am proud of the American society for creating subways because it is a cheap transportation method and they make remind people of what is happening outside of their work life. My evidence is people riding on a subway instead of walking.
tenements
The tenements played one of the biggest roles in urbanization for people in poverty. Tenements gave immigrants and people in poverty a place to stay . I am proud of the government for keeping people off the streets and giving them a place to stay for a very cheap price. My evidence is a bunch of tenements with lots of room for people to stay.
farm mechanization
Farm mechanization helped us get more food faster. It gave the us machines to plant and plow food much quicker than normal, it changed the way the Americans farm their land. I am proud of the American society for giving farmers machines to help them do their jobs in a much more proper and faster way. My evidence is a family that expanded their farm operation because using machines is much eaiser.
the square deal
The square deal promoted by president Roosevelt gave people more choices to do in life. Roosevelt wanted to give the next generation more chances to do with there life instead of the ame old factory jobs. I am proud of the government for giving US citizens more opportunitys to do with their life. My evidence is a quote from Teddy Roosevelt saying that everyone get a square deal to be free and make everything fair.
meat inspection act
The meat inspection act by the US congress saved lots of lives. The MIA made sure that where animals were being processed for the public to eat that it was sanitary and that the food would be safe to eat. I am proud of the government for protecting lives from eating unsanitized meat. My evidence is a photo of housewives protesting with a sign saying that they want food inspected before being sold.
women in the work place
Having women in the workplace was the biggest event in progressivism. When women could work in factories they didn't have to stay at home all day and do a little bit of work, they could make more money for their family and live more fancy than before. I am proud of the government letting woman in the workplace because poor families could make twice as much money ever year. My evidence is a chart showing the percent of women in the workplace that joined evry year.
panama canal
The panama canal made the American trading alot easier. America had to go to war against columbia and free panama from them, then panama would let us make a canal through there land. The panama canal let the US cut through columbia instead of going all the way around the continent. I am proud of the government for fighting for this piece of land to make trading way easier. My evidence is a picture of the panama canal cut through land and not having to go all the way arounf the land.
monroe doctrine
The monroe doctrine kept the US from getting attacked by other descently sized countries. It was a scare tactic that said if european nations were to interfear with America it would be considered as an act of aggression. I am proud of government for acting really tuff so other nations get scared and wont mess with us at all. My evidence is a picture of the Americans on side of a fence and the Europenas on the other side, and the Americans saying you will be prosecuted if you cross.
moral diplomacy
The moral diplomacy put us together with other nations alike. It stated that we will only give our support to nations that have the same culural and moral beliefs as us. I am proud of the government saying this because we want to be able to trust our allies. My evidence is a picture saying we will help our allies if they share our beliefs.
League of Nations
The LN was created by president wilson after WW1 and it for all nations to join and stay peaceful without even going to ear again. President wilson couldn't convince the US to join it before he left office. Since all nations didn't join the LN could not be created and WW2 happened years later. I am ashamed that he league of nations was not created becuase it possibly would have prevented WW2. My evidence is a photo of every joined in but the US?
Treaty of Versailles
The treaty of versailles ended the WW1 when germany came to terms. The treaty said that Germany had to pay for all damages that they did and the war can be over. I am proud of the government for ending the war and getting payed back for the damages. My evidence is a news article saying that Germany can to terms to end the war.
isolation
After WW1 america didn't want to join the League of Nations, instead they wanted to start changing to isolationism. The US didn't want to have to go throught another war and lose alot of money, so they changed and tryed to be more independent and less into war acts, the whole world changed and valued their people more because of all the lost ones. I am proud of America not wanting to be in anymore wars. My evidence is a chart showing how much money the US spent on WW1
