The Progressive Era
The Progressive Era began in the early 1900s in response to the immense economic and social changes brought about by industrialization. There was a rise of muckraking journalists who exposed issues in government and big business. Progressive reforms took hold at the municipal, state, and federal levels across four main areas: protecting social welfare, promoting moral reform, reforming the economy, and making businesses more efficient. Theodore Roosevelt championed these reforms as president from 1901-1909, pushing for regulation of big business and conservation. The split of the Republican Party over further reforms led to the election of Democrat Woodrow Wilson, who advanced some progressive policies.

Reformers known as Progressives pushed for regulations of large businesses, consumer protections, and expanded democracy. Some key reforms included civil service reforms through the Pendleton Act, regulations of railroads and interstate commerce, and consumer protections such as the Pure Food and Drug Act. However, Progressives were divided on issues of race and segregation, with some supporting policies that ultimately legalized discrimination until the civil rights era.

Teddy Roosevelt served as President from 1901-1909. As a "trustbuster," he filed numerous antitrust lawsuits to break up large monopolies and ensure fair competition. He intervened in a major coal strike in 1902 to negotiate an agreement that increased miners' pay and established the right to unionize. Roosevelt also established many regulations and consumer protections relating to railroads, food and drugs, and the environment.
Gilded Age Politics
The document discusses the political landscape of the United States in the late 19th century. It was characterized by a two-party system with intense voter loyalty to the Republican and Democratic parties. The presidency was largely a symbolic role with little power as party bosses controlled politics. There was a divide within the Republican party between reform-minded "Half-Breeds" and patronage-focused "Stalwarts". The 1884 and 1888 elections saw victories for Democrat Grover Cleveland on a platform of civil service reform and tariff reduction, making him the first Democratic president elected since 1856.

In New York, while less innovative than Chicago, distinctive skyscrapers like the Singer and Woolworth Buildings rose from the growing financial district, while infrastructure like Grand Central Terminal was constructed.

It discusses the many groups that were involved including Native Americans, miners, cattlemen, farmers, railroads, and the U.S. government. It also describes some of the key events like the building of the transcontinental railroad, the cattle drives, conflicts over land use, and battles between the U.S. army and Plains Indians as Native lands were increasingly encroached upon.
The Railroads
The document discusses the building of the first transcontinental railroad in the United States in the 1860s by the Central Pacific Railroad Company and Union Pacific Railroad Company. It describes how the railroad reduced travel time from east to west from 6 months to a maximum of 8 days, enabled cheap land sales that benefited homesteaders and ranchers, and contributed to the destruction of Native American populations and development of the cattle industry through transportation of goods and resources.
Native Conflicts
Native American conflicts with settlers arose due to competing uses of land for hunting versus farming, as well as differing views of land ownership between individual settlers and communal Native American tribes. Two notable conflicts were the Sand Creek Massacre, where Colonel Chivington slaughtered 200 Cheyenne despite a promise of safety, and the Battle of Little Big Horn, where General Custer and his troops were surrounded and killed by Lakota and Cheyenne warriors he had tried to surprise.
Plains Indians
The Plains Indians were skilled farmers and artists who lived in organized tribes, each with their own unique language. The introduction of horses by the Spanish allowed them to more easily hunt buffalo and follow migrating herds. Their most important religious ceremony, the Sun Dance, involved dancing, singing, praying, drumming and visions to show the cyclical nature of life. Women supervised home life, gathered food, and passed down oral traditions, while men protected the village, led hunts and wars, and oversaw spiritual practices.
Farming 19
The document discusses the origins of western farmers in the United States, including homesteaders from the east and immigrants who received free land under the Homestead Act, African Americans who left the south known as Exodusters, and Spanish-speaking people already living in lands won in the Mexican War known as Mexicanos. It also mentions the Homestead Act of 1862 which gave settlers 160 free acres if they farmed the land for five years, farmers on the plains called sodbusters, and populist policies advocated by the Populist Party such as free silver, eight hour work days, and government ownership of railroads.
Chp 19 2
Mining led to rapid settlement in the American West in the late 19th century, as gold and silver discoveries sparked booms in Nevada, the Black Hills, and Alaska. Temporary mining towns, or "boomtowns", would be quickly constructed by miners and the merchants who supplied them, growing into wood structures before declining just as rapidly when the minerals played out, leaving ghost towns. Mining brought pollution, deforestation, and displacement of Native Americans while lacking organized law enforcement during booms. The Transcontinental Railroad Act of 1862 funded the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads to build the first rail line connecting America's coasts, opening up the West to further growth and settlement.
Recon Jeopardyss
Lincoln was assassinated at Ford's Theater in Washington D.C. on April 14, 1865. His reconstruction plan admitted three states back into the union and excluded former Confederate leaders from amnesty. After Lincoln's death, Andrew Johnson became president and had a different, more lenient reconstruction plan that allowed ex-Confederates to vote and hold office. Congress passed the Reconstruction Act of 1867 over Johnson's veto, requiring ratification of the 14th Amendment and barring ex-Confederate officials from voting.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
