Today in history, we met in groups to discuss our latest project. My group included Haley, Patrick, and Evan. Our task was to create a thesis statement, introduction paragraph, and a conclusion as if we were writing a separate essay combining each individual topic.
During the Progressive Era America was able to take many steps forward and just as many backward. Several of these steps were inventions, rules, and many drastic changes. Due to the Progressive Era, Americans were able to see how fast and easy life could be through the creation of the light bulb, radio, fast food, and ready-made clothing while also seeing how these could hold the nation back.
In conclusion, while the Progressive Era had many positive effects, there were also many negative ones. Poverty gaps were expanded, many people lost their lives, wars were more violent than necessary, and the food was extremely bad for them.
