Our group worked together to form a thesis with our information. We combined the affect of progressivism with our topics to create a balanced thesis.
During the Progressive era, 1880-1920, many changes were occurring as society was attempting to advance and move forward. However, many challenges arose with this new freedom, and the United States realized that people needed a superior power to step in to keep everything out of control. For example, the influenza epidemic of 1918 could only be helped by enforcing strict quarantines. The production of Coke a Cola was hazardous to the health of drinkers, and in other cases the wealthy and careless put others in harms way with their rash decisions such as the Johnstown dam breaking and killing hundreds of people. Through the progressive era, the government improved its level of aid on state and national levels, motivated by the notion of keeping people safe.

The increase of government control was a good thing for the era. People’s new ideas and wealth, and health needed to be monitored in order to keep everything stable. By introducing reforms, quarantine standards, and bans on hazardous substances, the government was able to protect America's health and well being.
