Essay on American Imperialism
Since its inception, America as a nation has developed and progressed according to trends of
change that collectively define an era. Like all other eras, the time period of 1875–1925 experienced
growth, changes, movements, and new ideals. It is the way that these changes came about that

anti–black), nativism movements, moral/religious movements, and anti–trust movements. Later on,
at the national government level, Theodore Roosevelt became the first true progressive president
