Progressive Era Topics Thesis

Today in class we shared the thesis and conclusion that we created in groups from the previous class period. We then made note of the overview of them on the board and were told to now create another thesis statement that encompassed all of them.

Here is what I came up with......

In the progressive era, people turned to the government at all levels for their protection and wellbeing while the people would accept any extra help the government would provide. As the people tried to move forward and better society, they were also being held back. Because of the government's involvement, the people were given a leg up and were able to take many steps forward while taking just as many back at the same time. However not all movements, both positive and negative, were the result of government intervention or creation, many of the movements are backed by the people themselves.
