Their efforts led to the passage of the 18th Amendment in 1920 establishing Prohibition, though it was later repealed in 1933 by the 21st Amendment.

During the Progressive Era from 1890-1920, rapid industrialization, immigration, and urbanization led to problems like monopolies exploiting workers and consumers. Journalists called "muckrakers" exposed these issues, fueling reforms. Progressives successfully advocated for laws protecting workers and consumers from abuses, such as banning child labor, regulating wages and hours, and breaking up monopolies. They also passed amendments allowing income tax and direct election of Senators. The era brought significant reforms to address problems created by unfettered industrialization.
Progressive Presidents
Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th President of the United States from 1901 to 1909. He took office after McKinley's assassination and pursued a progressive agenda, establishing a record of conservation and pursuing antitrust lawsuits. His successor, William Howard Taft, continued Roosevelt's policies but split from him, allowing Democrat Woodrow Wilson to win the presidency in 1912.
The Progressive Era
The document discusses several key aspects of the Progressive Era in the United States, including:
1) Reformers known as Progressives worked to improve America's political and social environment in response to concerns about business excesses, and their efforts strengthened American democracy.
2) Novels like Upton Sinclair's The Jungle exposed unsafe practices and spurred legislation like the Pure Food and Drug Act to regulate industries and protect consumers.
3) Women reformers played a large role in social reforms addressing issues like temperance, suffrage, education, and racism through organizations like settlement houses.
4) Jim Crow laws imposed racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans in the South despite the end of Reconstruction.
The Progressive Era
Progressivism dominated US politics from the 1890s to the 1920s as reformers advocated for social change through government intervention. They sought to address issues like the gap between rich and poor, corrupt politics, unsafe working conditions, and poor living standards for many. The movement achieved some successes through muckraking journalism, political reforms at the state level, and new laws under progressive presidents like Roosevelt and Wilson. However, it largely failed on civil rights and making significant progress for racial minorities.
Economic Reform in the Progressive Era
Progressives became concerned about long work hours and poor wages damaging the health of factory workers, especially women and children. Reformers like Florence Kelley lobbied for protective legislation. Jacob Riis documented poor living conditions in tenement housing. Muckraking journalists like Ida Tarbell exposed corruption and fraud in big business, such as Standard Oil. Theodore Roosevelt, as president, took steps to regulate industry and break up trusts in the interest of public welfare, while also establishing national parks and promoting conservation. Upton Sinclair's The Jungle drew attention to unsanitary conditions in the meatpacking industry and spurred passage of new food safety laws.
U.S. Progressivism
Progressives focused on reforming three main areas: helping the urban poor through sanitary housing and reasonable living conditions, improving unsafe and unfair working conditions for workers, and reforming corrupt government practices at all levels of government. They achieved some successes like the passage of New York's Tenement Act of 1901 which required landlords to provide basic sanitation and the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911 which inspired new workplace safety laws. However, progressives still faced opposition to reforms from big business who opposed things like limits on the length of the workday.

Here are the key points from the documentary:
1. Mill owners in Massachusetts resisted the new rules about a shorter work week and lower wages. They threatened to fire any workers who joined unions or went on strike.
2. The labor strike was an appropriate response by the unions. The mill workers, including children, were being overworked and underpaid in dangerous conditions. A strike was really the only way for them to advocate for safer working conditions and fair treatment. It helped draw attention to their poor treatment and push for labor reforms to improve their lives and working conditions.

Prohibition
The document discusses women's suffrage and the temperance movement in the United States. It outlines key events like the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention which demanded voting rights for women. The 19th amendment was finally ratified in 1920, giving women the right to vote and opening new opportunities in education, reform, and politics. It also discusses the rise of the temperance movement led by groups like the WCTU which sought to outlaw alcohol, leading to the 18th amendment and prohibition in 1917. However, prohibition failed to stop drinking and empowered organized crime groups who supplied illegal alcohol. Prohibition was ultimately repealed in 1932.
Progressives section 3
The Progressive movement advanced women's and minority rights in the early 1900s. Women fought for temperance and suffrage, banning alcohol and gaining the right to vote. African American reformers like Booker T. Washington, Ida B. Wells, and W.E.B. Du Bois challenged discrimination and called for equality in education and economic opportunities. However, Progressive reforms failed to fully benefit all minorities, as groups like Native Americans, Chinese Americans, and Mexican immigrants faced ongoing difficulties.
A Snapshot of Socialism
This project digitizes listings and descriptions of socialist, reformist, and progressive organizations from the 1897 Labour Annual.

Dec. 16 Notes (Harlem Renaissance)
The Harlem Renaissance from 1910-1920 saw many African Americans migrate from the rural South to northern cities like Harlem in New York, sparking a cultural movement celebrating black art, literature, and music. Educated black artists and writers explored their African heritage and expressed the black experience in America through works like jazz, challenging white norms and promoting racial pride.
Dec. 15 Notes (The Roaring '20s)
The Roaring '20s in the US saw a booming economy fueled by the automobile industry and consumerism, with people spending money to show their status. Women began demanding more independence exemplified by the "Flapper" lifestyle. Prohibition banned alcohol but led to speakeasies and bootlegging run by organized gangs like Al Capone as the government lacked resources for enforcement. By the late 1920s and Great Depression, most wanted Prohibition's repeal which occurred with the 21st Amendment in 1933.
DEc. 12 Notes (Red Scare)
The Red Scare period saw Americans fearing a communist revolution and conspiracy to overthrow the government in the wake of the 1917 Russian Revolution. This led to government raids of radical and immigrant groups in 1919 and 1920 under Attorney General Palmer, known as the Palmer Raids, where many foreign-born individuals were deported or denied their constitutional rights despite often not being accused of any crimes.
Dec. 11Notes (Intro to the 1920s)
The 1920s in America saw increasing isolationism, fear of change, and suspicion of others. Warren Harding was elected on a platform of "return to normalcy". The Scopes Trial highlighted clashes between religious fundamentalism and teaching evolution. Prohibition and immigration laws were passed amid fears over changing social values and the growing influence of immigrants and radicals. The Sacco and Vanzetti trial exemplified tensions over foreigners and radicalism.
Dec. 8 Notes (WWI at Home)
The U.S. government directed the economy during WWI from consumer goods to military production through agencies like the War Industries Board and Food Administration to mobilize resources for the war effort. Propaganda was used to generate public support for the war and some immigrants and dissenting opinions faced discrimination or prosecution under laws like the Espionage and Sedition Acts. The war cost $33 billion which was paid for through taxes and war bonds.
Dec.4 Notes (Warfare of WWI)
Germany faced war on two fronts in WWI and attacked Belgium as part of its plan to quickly defeat France by using 90% of its troops on the Western Front. This plan was unsuccessful, and by September 1914 Germany had retreated and dug deep trenches, leading to a brutal three-year stalemate war of trench warfare with new weapons such as long-range cannons, machine guns, chemical weapons, tanks, airplanes, and zeppelins.
Dec. 1 Notes (Causes of WWI)
The document summarizes the key long-term causes and events that led to the start of World War I. The four main long-term causes were nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and alliance systems. By 1914, these factors had led European countries to form two opposing alliance systems. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand provided the spark that ignited tensions caused by these long-term factors and drew the allied countries into war against each other.
Nov. 19 Notes (Prgressive Presidents & Results)
The document summarizes three progressive US presidents from the early 20th century - Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson. It outlines their policies and accomplishments, including Roosevelt's "Square Deal" reforms, Taft's trustbusting though not being progressive enough, and Wilson's "New Freedom" agenda. The era saw progressive reforms like the 16th-17th amendments but failed to address issues like African American rights and farmers.
Nov. 17 Notes (Economic Reform)
The Progressive Era document outlines key aspects of the Progressive Movement in the United States including political, economic and social reforms. Muckrakers like Ida Tarbell, Jacob Riis and Upton Sinclair exposed corruption and injustices through journalism and helped pass legislation. Trustbusters like Theodore Roosevelt used antitrust laws to limit monopolies' control. The movement aimed to return government to the people and improve economic opportunities and working conditions.
Urbanization Review
Progressives in the early 20th century sought to address issues arising from rapid urbanization through legal reforms and social services. New laws aimed to improve safety standards in crowded tenement housing. Settlement houses and community centers provided aid, education, and social programs to help immigrants and the poor, especially children, adjust to city life. Famous examples included Jane Addams' Hull House in Chicago and facilities created by the YMCA and Salvation Army. The goal was to help newcomers assimilate to middle-class norms and lead better lives in the cities.
Nov. 11 Notes (Jim Crow)
After Reconstruction ended in 1877 and Southern Democrats regained control of Southern states, many laws and policies were enacted that limited the rights and equality of African Americans. These included voting restrictions through literacy tests and poll taxes, as well as segregation laws known as Jim Crow laws that separated public spaces by race. The Supreme Court upheld segregation in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896 with the "separate but equal" doctrine. African Americans also faced informal discrimination through racial etiquette rules and lynchings when those rules were violated. Discrimination also existed in Northern states through practices like segregated neighborhoods and discrimination in employment and unions.
Oct. 29 Notes (Foreign Policy circa 1900)
The document discusses U.S. foreign policy and imperialism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It outlines the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 which opposed European colonization in the Western Hemisphere. It then discusses how under Presidents McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt from 1897-1909, U.S. imperialism increased as it acquired Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines and sought to protect economic interests through interventions backed by its growing navy. It also discusses Roosevelt's role in developing the Panama Canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Imperialism Document Activity
The document is a collection of 6 sources related to US imperialism in 1898. It includes an artwork depicting Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders in Cuba, a political cartoon questioning how Uncle Sam would look after the war, the platform of the American Anti-Imperialist League opposing expansion into the Philippines, and a petition against the annexation of Hawaii. The sources showcase the debate in the US over expansionism after the Spanish-American War and the occupation of the Philippines in particular. Critics argued it violated principles of self-governance and democracy, while supporters viewed it as asserting American interests abroad.
Oct. 27 Notes (Splendid Little War)
The document summarizes the Spanish-American War which lasted from May to August 1898. It describes key battles in Cuba and the Philippines which resulted in American victories over Spanish forces. It concludes with the Treaty of Paris in which Spain lost control of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, while the U.S. emerged as a new world power and expanded its territorial holdings.
Oct. 23 Notes (Spanish American War)
The document summarizes the key events leading up to the Spanish-American War in 1898. Newspapers like the New York Journal and New York World engaged in yellow journalism by exaggerating reports about Spanish treatment of Cubans to increase readership. When the USS Maine exploded in Havana harbor, papers blamed Spain despite the cause being unknown. Increased public outrage and demands for action, along with pressure on President McKinley, led Congress to declare war on Spain in order to gain Cuban independence and protect American interests on the island.
Oct. 22 Notes (Intro To Imperialism)
The document discusses the shift in U.S. foreign policy from isolationism to imperialism around 1900. It provides background on early U.S. isolationism and the Monroe Doctrine before examining the rise of imperialist sentiment in the 1880s-1890s due to economic, political, and social factors. Beliefs in manifest destiny, industrial growth, and overproduction helped make the case for imperialism, while acquiring new markets and resources abroad was seen as a solution to economic issues at home.
Oct. 15 Notes (City Politics)
Political machines dominated local and state governments in the late 1800s, operating by exchanging favors and assistance for the poor and immigrants in return for votes. They were led by party bosses and used patronage systems, corruption, and election fraud to maintain power, most notably Tammany Hall led by Boss Tweed in New York City. Political machines effectively controlled cities through jobs, licenses, courts and turned a blind eye to graft in exchange for kickbacks.
Oct. 14, 2008 (Immigration Policies)
The document discusses immigration policies and attitudes in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It describes how immigrants initially blended cultures but also maintained aspects of their original cultures, creating hyphenated identities. However, nativism grew due to fears about immigrants competing for jobs and not assimilating. This led to the passage of laws restricting immigration such as the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and National Origins Acts of the 1920s, which established discriminatory quotas.
Sept. 18 Notes (Big Business)
In the late 1800s, major businesses in the United States grew substantially through mergers and acquisitions which concentrated economic power and resources in the hands of a few wealthy individuals known as Robber Barons. This led to monopolies forming in many industries as companies bought out competitors and suppliers to control prices and eliminate competition. While this increased profits for owners, it also resulted in poor conditions for workers and high prices for consumers. The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 was passed to limit monopolies but proved ineffective due to difficulties in enforcement.

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.
