Document Summary
The progressive war: americans and the social question, a quick and dirty progressive era. Ideology of free labor meaning your labors have a chance to move. Paid time to do safety work in the mines (told that their lives were not up in the field all that valuable) During the cold war: we constructed mythology of american industrialization and harmony of classes. When the homestead strike happened they got word from people party and if they try to starve you out than the farmers will ship you wheat. Progressive war: americans in both parties were progressive. Progressives want to return to the ordered society. Southern progressives wanted federal aide for farmers: they created the jim crow system. State should intervene when needed (how much intervention, a little: american (cid:498)neutrality(cid:499) aggressor. British justified everything they did during war because germany was or a lot?) for the greater good can intervene in private life.
