Overall Statement on 1890 to 1900

The American Dream

I feel this was a time of change and people were actually accepting of everything that happened in the decade. Work environments were regulated and more people wanted to work, in return the poor became middle, the middle became rich. Even though the depression of 1896 hit it hurt people in different ways. People at this time set up what most believe to be the American Dream. Those who deserve it, the universe will serve it. People worked hard for their money and weren't scared to show it either. This time period entertainment and leisure time were increased with workplaces giving holidays and a half Saturdays off to employees and most vacations were no paid off.

The depression of 1893
The depression hit Wall Street and urban areas in 1893, as part of a massive worldwide economic crisis. A quarter of the nation's railroads went bankrupt; in some cities, unemployment among industrial workers exceeded 20 or even 25 percent. Americans of different incomes experienced the depression in different ways. In the winter months, some poor families starved and others became wanderers. Unemployed  crisscrossed the countryside, walking or hiding on freight trains. Many appeared at the back doors of middle-class houses, pleading for work or food. Many worried about anarchy and violence and soon showed true with the strike against Carnegie steel Works, and the Palmer strike.

Cultural conflicts between groups increased due to the spread of "modern" values and ideas.
Most Americans were happy about the transformation of their physical environments, however they had feelings about the religious, moral, and cultural  of a scientific worldview.
Tradition vs. innovation
Urban vs. rural
Fundamentalist Christianity vs. scientific modernism

Progressive Era beliefs were that the government should be more regulated and give citizens more rights. Progressives were people that believed the government should have more welfare options so that there would be a minimum standard of living.

The period from 1894 to 1915 was when workers in the United States began to have more leisure time. One reason for this was that industrial employers began to decrease working hours and gave a Saturday half-day holiday, which gave workers more free time for leisure activities. Vacations began to be regularly offered to workers, although they were unpaid ones. The Progressive movement was another factor which contributed to the increase of leisure time for workers, as their health and well-being received more attention. Yet another factor was the installation of electric lighting in the city streets, which made nighttime leisure activities less dangerous for both men and women.
