The Progressive Era was a period from the late 18 hundreds to the early 19 hundreds. This was a time of industrialization, it is nicknamed the Gilded Age, covered in gold. Of course, with every good comes a bad. In factories came most of the problems like them being unsanitary, child labor, and low wages. Muckrakers were people who looked to expose these problems. Some muckrakers were Ida Tarbell, Jacob Riis, Lewis Hines, Teddy Roosevelt, and Thomas Nast. They all were either cartoonists, novelists, or photographers who used their skills to expose large scale businesses. Some laws that came out of this Era were the 18-21 Amendment. The 18th banned alcohol, the 19th gave women suffrage, and the 21st making alcohol legal again.

Muckrakers such as Upton Sinclair, Thomas Nast, Ida Tarbell, Lewis Hines, Jacob Riis, and Teddy Roosevelt made novels, took pictures, and drew political cartoons as ways to expose problems and change laws.

Sehaj Singh

Muckrakers would show the problems to the people and hope that it would get to Congress to make new laws and stop these problems(some examples are children working in factories, Robber Barons creating monopolies and poor living and health.)

Robber Barons were people that got a monopoly on the thing they were selling by running the other companies out of business and then raising there prices not allowing any other business rise back up.

President Roosevelt was a muckraker that created many laws and amendments that stopped many problems such as people hunting animals to extinction and deforestation

The Progressive Era took place in the late 1800's to the early 1900's. The entire union was making progress to reform the union by making new laws. The muckrakers were the ones who exposed the problems such as sanitation, safety, and child labor. These muckrakers would create cartoons, write books, and take pictures. For example, Upton Sinclair saw the problems within the Meat Packing Industry and wrote a book called The Jungle. Factories had unsafe working environment, child labor, low wages, and long hours. When the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire occurred, it really brought attention to the safety of workers. Later, Robber Barons started to get expose by muckrakers such as Thomas Nast who exposed Boss Tweed. As the muckrakers kept exposing these problems, it caught the governments attention and they later made laws to reform the union.

The Progressive Era highlighted many problems that occurred in New York cities. Some problems include child labor, public safety, factory conditions, sanitation, the tenements that the family were living inside, and more. One key detail that is touched a lot upon are the Robber Barons. The Robber Barons exploited certain monopolies in order to take power and earn money, no matter how many lives are at risk or are lost. In order to stop these Robber Barons, a new form of spreading the news was created. "Muckrakers", which literally means they're raking the muck, helped tell the stories and horrors the Robber Barons were created. Muckrakers created comics, books, newspapers, and other ways of illustration to expose these problems. The goal of this effort was to catch the eyes of the government and create new laws, essentially reforming cities.

During the Progressive Era (1890s-1920s),there were many problems. For example, Child Labor, horrible tenements, unsafe working conditions, and monopolies. Muckrakers such as Upton Sinclair, Lewis Hines, Jacob Riis, Thomas Nast, and Ida Tarbell exposed these problems to the public. They hoped the government would see and make changes. (Reform)Change is making new laws. The Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act were created thanks to Upton Sinclair exposing it. During this time, amendments were also created. For example the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th Amendment. The 16th Amendment was the allowing of income tax. The 17th amendment was the direct election of senators. The 18th Amendment was the banning of Alcohol. And the 19th Amendment was giving women the right to vote.

I have learned that there are these people called Muckrakers. Upton Sinclair, Jacob Riis, Thomas Nast, Lewis Hines, and Ida Tarbell are all Muckrakers. Upton Sinclair focused on exposing the meat packing industry. He decided to write a book about the meat packing industries and all of its flaws. This book was called 'The Jungle." Jacob Riis exposed how the tenement buildings were a terrible place to live. He wrote the book called "How the Other Half Lives." Thomas Nast exposed Boss Tweed for stealing taxpayers' money. Lewis Hines was exposing child labor in factories. All of these muckrakers wanted the government to create laws in order to make change.

I learned that there were many muckrakers and all of these muckrakers were doing different kinds of stuff, like Upton Sinclair made a book titled "The Jungle" and Jacob Riis made a book called "How the Other Half Lives". Also, there were 2 different types of theories which made uniqueness. The two types of theories that made uniqueness were the Salad Bowl Theory and also the Melting Pot Theory. Also, there were different types of places that people were able to I've in, like the Tenement and also the Tammany Hall. There were also different kinds of Robber Barons like Lewis Hines, Thomas Nast, Upton Sinclair and also Jacob Riis. There was also the Meat Packing Industry where people would sanitize raw meat and make the meat fresh. Also, the Progressive Era was during or between the 1800s. Also, Robber Barrons decided to call these type of presidents that are called "Muckbrakers". The were also some other Acts like the Pure Food and Drug Act and probably some other kinds of acts.
