The chapter discusses the Progressive Era from the late 19th to early 20th century. Key aspects covered include the rise of muckraking journalism exposing issues in government and big business; women playing a large role in reform movements around issues like suffrage; attempts to reform government through initiatives like city commissions; Theodore Roosevelt expanding presidential power and championing conservation; and Woodrow Wilson continuing reforms through laws like the Federal Reserve Act and a federal income tax. Progressives sought to curb the power of trusts and corporations while improving standards of living.
The chapter discusses the crisis of authority that emerged in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s. Key events and movements included the rise of the New Left and counterculture youth movement in response to the Vietnam War; increased activism among minorities for civil rights and recognition of ethnic identities; and the women's liberation movement and its focus on issues like equal rights and abortion. Environmentalism also grew during this period. Under Nixon, relations eased with China but the Vietnam War escalated, as did the Watergate scandal, ultimately leading to Nixon's resignation in 1974.
The document discusses several social movements that challenged authority in the 1960s, including the New Left, counterculture, civil rights movements, and women's liberation movement. The New Left embraced causes like civil rights and opposed the Vietnam War through protests. The counterculture rejected mainstream values and embraced rock music and drug use. Other groups like the American Indian Movement and United Farm Workers fought for indigenous and Hispanic rights. The women's and gay rights movements also made progress for social acceptance and legal protections during this time period.
The Progressive Era saw widespread reforms from the 1890s to the 1920s to address issues arising from rapid industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption. Progressives advocated solutions through government action and regulation to curb the excesses of big business, protect workers and consumers, and bring democratic reforms. Notable achievements included strengthening antitrust laws, creating food and drug safety agencies, establishing women's suffrage, and advancing workers' rights.

It outlines economic reforms under Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson including trustbusting and the Federal Reserve Act. The document also discusses muckrakers, political reforms like women's suffrage and direct election of senators, and social reforms such as settlement houses.
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.
The Progressive Era saw reforms from 1890-1920 to address problems from industrialization, urbanization, and immigration. Progressives sought to increase democracy, regulate corporations, and promote social justice. They used government action and experts to implement reforms. At the municipal level, reforms included stronger mayors and professionalizing social work. States enacted reforms like the secret ballot, child labor laws, and women's suffrage. Nationally, Roosevelt was a "trust-buster" while Taft and Wilson passed more progressive policies. Women and African Americans also advocated for greater rights in this era.
The Progressive Era occurred between 1890-1920 and was a period of significant reforms and social activism in the United States. Reforms sought to address issues like corruption in government, women's suffrage, child labor, monopoly trusts, alcohol prohibition, and civil rights. Six US presidents are associated with advancing Progressive goals during this era through new laws and amendments regarding issues like income tax, direct election of senators, women's right to vote, and prohibition of alcohol.
The document discusses copyrighted images included in a presentation on the Progressive Era from 1890-1920.

The document then provides an outline of topics to be covered in the presentation, including definitions of the Progressive Era, background information, key ideas of progressivism, prominent progressive reformers, and major reforms in areas like politics, economics, and social issues.
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.
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.
This document provides background information on the Progressive Era in the United States. It discusses key aspects of Progressivism including its time period from the 1890s to 1920s and goals of promoting social welfare, moral improvement, and economic and political reforms. Some of the reforms discussed include protections for women and children, prohibitions on alcohol, trust busting, conservation efforts, and muckraking journalism. The document also examines some of the problems Progressives sought to address like working conditions, unchecked big business, and corruption. Overall, the document offers context about the scope and goals of the Progressive movement in American history.
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.
The document discusses the moral reform movement of the Progressive Era that aimed to improve lives and promote middle-class values among the poor through prohibiting alcohol. Key reform groups like the Women's Christian Temperance Union and Anti-Saloon League lobbied to ban alcoholic beverages and close bars, seeing them as contributing to issues like political corruption and blocking assimilation. 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 1890-1917, monopolies formed by large companies led reformers like Theodore Roosevelt to advocate for trust-busting laws. The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 and Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914 were passed to prevent monopolies and protect consumers, though they did not help all groups equally. The Progressive movement more broadly sought reforms to politics, education, and social issues during this time of rapid industrialization that worried many Americans.
The Progressive Era saw several important reforms through amendments to the U.S. Constitution between the 16th and 19th Amendments. The 16th Amendment allowed Congress to collect income taxes from wealthy citizens. The 17th Amendment provided for the direct election of Senators by citizens. The 18th Amendment established Prohibition by banning liquor but was later repealed. Additionally, the 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote.
The New Deal established policies like the Federal Housing Administration, U.S. Housing Authority, and Social Security Act to provide housing, unemployment benefits, and retirement support. Labor unions grew in power through legislation like the Wagner Act, organizing previously unskilled workers under leaders like John Lewis and the Committee for Industrial Organization within the American Federation of Labor, despite resistance from business owners. Franklin Roosevelt was reelected in a landslide in 1936 on a platform supporting the New Deal, as the election results showed public support for reforms despite Republican charges of "class warfare".
The Gilded Age (1870-1900) was a period of rapid economic growth and industrialization following the Civil War. New factories and businesses transformed the U.S. economy and society. Wealthy industrialists and financiers accumulated vast fortunes while many workers faced difficult conditions. Political machines dominated cities and corruption was rampant. The era saw both conspicuous wealth and growing social tensions that would lead to reforms in the Progressive Era.
The Progressive movement from 1890-1920 sought to address issues like corrupt business practices and economic issues through reforms. It included diverse groups like muckrakers, women's suffrage activists, labor unions, and those pushing for government reforms. The settlement of the 1902 coal strike was seen as a victory for unions and marked important Progressive era reforms over the following decade around fair treatment for both business and labor.
The Progressive Era in America saw widespread reforms in the early 20th century to address issues like workers' rights, women's and children's rights, economic issues, and the environment. Reformers sought to (1) protect social welfare, (2) promote moral improvement, (3) create economic reform, and (4) foster efficiency. Notable progressive presidents included Theodore Roosevelt, who broke up trusts and conserved natural resources, and Woodrow Wilson, who strengthened antitrust laws and established the Federal Trade Commission. However, the movement failed to significantly advance civil rights for African Americans.
The document provides an overview of progressive reforms that took place in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States. It discusses political machines and corruption at this time. It also summarizes reforms to working conditions, such as restrictions on child labor and improved workplace safety after disasters like the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. Women's suffrage and the temperance movement are covered as are early civil rights leaders seeking racial equality. The document concludes by outlining some progressive presidents and their policies around trust-busting, banking reforms, and consumer protection.

The Progressive Era was a period of social activism and political reform in the United States from the 1890s to the 1920s. It arose as a response to the vast changes brought by industrialization, such as political corruption, lack of social justice, and the dominance of large-scale business interests called "robber barons." Prominent progressive leaders included Theodore Roosevelt, who advocated for a "New Nationalism" involving trust-busting and consumer protections, and Woodrow Wilson, who pushed for a "New Freedom" with reforms like the Federal Reserve and FTC to regulate big business. Women also played a leading role in many reform movements of the time, advocating for suffrage, temperance, education, and workers'
