Some of the problems that occurred during the gilded age where child labor. Since companies needed workers because they were make popular products they needed to get more people to make it and work faster. Company owners saw that the [ adult ] workers had a too big of a body, or big hands to stick their hands in, or they were slow for the job. In the article that we read in class" Child Labor" it talks about  how companies saw that children were the opposite then an adult worker, whereas children were small and could fit their hands in pretty much anything. Soon companies had kids under 16 working. Most of the children died from working or were injured because of the unsafe working conditions. Another problem that happened was that  mine workers were getting upset with the government and cause in problems for the companies. Companies couldn't afford to lose the men that were working in the mines because they were the ones how help make the money that they were earning. If they companies are loses it people then that means that the companies will not be able to make the product and which then cause them to lose money.

The Progressive era was during the gilded age. The progressive era was the economic and social problems. The progressive started as a social movement but then grew into a government issue. One of the issues was prohibition. The issue that developed was that women didn't want their husbands to drink and come back home and beat them up or be near their children, so the women made a organization that wanted to make alcohol illegal. Once the government agreed after making a statement that got the government to approve it made things worst. Crimes went up,  gangs were being formed, and the lawmakers were getting mad. Addition to one more complication to the progressive era was poverty. In this website that I got at www2.gwu.edu it talked about some problems that happened during the progressive era, and one of the problems was poverty. Many people didn't have homes or enough money to pay for their homes or even feed their family with food. Most of the people that lived in poverty were newly immigrants or african americans.

The lesson from the Gilded age and the Progressive Era is that just because a time period has a name that make it sound good it don't mean that it was great. I say that the gilded age was a mask.  It trikes you to think that it was the perfect/best time period but was not. You might think that something on the outer seem positive but in reality underneath the mask of the gilded age was a flawed.

Muckrakers were american journalist citizens of the country who went out and investigated in thing that seem off about a particular place or a issue that people can't really see.  Some of the  muckrakers were Nellie Bly, Lincoln Steffens, John Spargo and many more. All of this people investigated in place that were in bad conditions. Once the muckrakers got the information that showed that how badly the issue was they would try to expose it to the people. Some of the way that they try to expose the issue is by telling people on what they discovered. Others like Nellie bly wrote about the issues and got published in the news. Unions were a group of organization of workers that committed to protect it people's interest and pay wage, better working condition and many more that people wanted. In a video we watched called " The Mine Wars." reveal how unions were form. In the video it speaks about a elderly woman called mother Jones.  She help the mine workers create the union to stand up for their equal working rights. She cause the men to believe and have hope that they were equally and had they had something to stand up for. Mother Jones hep create a union for the mine workers but the union was not like any other unions that have been done. The mine worker were going to fight ( a small war between) the capitals people to show them that they had rights as well. Other unions workers went on a somewhat strike. Some of the men did not go to work or went to the persons that were in  high  upper class and can talk to them about their demands.
