The soil was really bad for farming since it was so hard and didn't meet the nutritional needs for plants, so they decided to do agriculture, some example of these are fishing, lumber (wood from trees), textiles, and shipbuilding to name a few. The economy was at a normal level, some jobs were fishermen, dock workers, sailors, shipbuilders, merchants and artisans. Hope this helps and have a nice day!
<span>Americans are directly affected by the price of gasoline but the price of oil results more from speculation in the commodities market. Hope this helped</span>
The period of US history from the 1890s to the 1920s is usually referred to as the Progressive Era, an era of intense social and political reform aimed at making progress toward a better society.
Progressive Era reformers sought to harness the power of the federal government to eliminate unethical and unfair business practices, reduce corruption, and counteract the negative social effects of industrialization.
During the Progressive Era, protections for workers and consumers were strengthened, and women finally achieved the right to vote.
Characteristics of the Progressive Era include purification of the government, modernization, a focus on family and education, prohibition, and women's suffrage.
