During the late 19th and early 20th century, known as the Progressive Era, reform movements aimed to address problems that arose from rapid industrialization and unchecked capitalism in America. Progressives pushed for regulations to improve working conditions and restrict child labor, as well as greater oversight of large corporations and monopolies. Notable reforms included new food and drug safety laws, bans on child labor and alcohol, and women's suffrage. Muckraking journalists played an important role in exposing issues and putting pressure on politicians to enact reforms.

Progressive Era Notes
The Progressive Movement occurred between 1890-1920 in response to social, economic, political, and environmental problems caused by the rapid industrialization of American cities. Progressives aimed to address issues like poverty, poor working conditions, and the unchecked power of large corporations. They worked to raise awareness of these issues and achieve reforms through journalists, activists, politicians and others. Some of their successes included regulations on child labor, women's suffrage, and the advancement of racial equality.

The Progressive Movement aimed to address social problems caused by industrialization through government reforms. Progressives sought to guarantee economic opportunities and eliminate social injustices. Their accomplishments included implementing initiatives, referendums, recalls and primaries to give citizens more direct control over government. Progressives also passed labor laws, antitrust acts, and women's suffrage to protect workers and consumers from abuses of industry and political machines.
Chapter 21: The Progressive Era
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.
Causes of the progressive era
The document summarizes some of the key causes and results of the Progressive Era in the United States. Urbanization increased due to immigration from Eastern Europe and industrialization creating jobs in cities. This led to overcrowded tenement housing with poor conditions and a lack of government response, enabling political machines to gain power. Industrialization also resulted in long work days, low pay, child labor, and unsafe conditions, fueling the rise of labor unions and strikes against monopolistic big businesses that dominated industries like steel, railroads, and oil through practices like vertical and horizontal integration. Politicians eventually began cracking down on these issues.
Progressive Movement
The Progressive Movement sought to address issues exposed by journalists and reformers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Journalists uncovered corruption in government and unhealthy, unsafe working conditions. Reformers pushed for greater government responsiveness and regulations on businesses. Some key effects included improved working conditions, more business regulations, and expanded citizen power through initiatives, referendums, and recall elections. Muckraking journalists like Ida Tarbell and Upton Sinclair exposed issues that helped spur reforms addressing political corruption, unsafe industries, and social issues like prohibition and women's suffrage.
Progressive study guide with answers
The document discusses key people and events of the Progressive Era in the United States between 1890-1920. It defines muckrakers as journalists who exposed corruption and fought for reform, and identifies Ida Tarbell, Upton Sinclair, and Cary Nation as prominent muckrakers. It also discusses W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington as influential African American reformers with differing philosophies on achieving racial equality and political rights. Theodore Roosevelt is noted for believing the president should be an active referee between big business and the people.
The Progressives
The Progressive Movement aimed to give more control of the government to ordinary citizens and guarantee economic opportunities through regulation. It differed from past social movements in using the government as a tool for reform, enhancing its power. Problems from industrialization and urbanization included poor living and working conditions, child labor, corruption influenced by the wealthy, and company towns that exploited workers. Journalists called "muckrakers" reported on these issues to raise public awareness and support reforms around labor rights, conservation, food/medicine safety, and other areas.
Day 7 : New Deal/Progessive Era Poverty Policies Compare and Contrast
The Progressive and New Deal eras both produced policies to help those living in poverty. Progressives focused on protecting women and children through reforms like settlement houses and child labor laws. New Deal programs mainly provided jobs for men through programs like the PWA, WPA and CCC to help families during the Great Depression. While some policies were similar, like fair labor practices, the eras differed in their approaches, with Progressives targeting specific groups and New Dealers aiming to pull families out of poverty through employment.

1970's : Derek Robinson's Midterm
The 1970s saw a nostalgic return to traditional styles of fashion, architecture, and films depicting earlier decades. Shows like All in the Family confronted social issues through comedy to make intolerance seem foolish. Though Nixon pursued some liberal policies, his EPA and OSHA regulations concerned big businesses like Koch and Coors and right-wing groups like AEI and Hoover began pushing back. Milton Friedman's free market ideas gained traction as the public grew dissatisfied with government. Powell's memo warned of leftist influence and called for business to shape universities. A 1975 report mirrored Powell's concerns about too much democracy. The regulatory critique prepped the way for Reagan's small government message amid economic struggles in the late 1970s.

The progressive movement
The Progressive movement in the early 20th century sought to address issues of inequality and corruption through government, business, and social reforms led by Theodore Roosevelt. Reforms included giving citizens the right to elect senators, implementing an income tax, breaking up monopolies, establishing national parks and child labor laws, granting women's suffrage, and prohibiting alcohol with the 18th Amendment.

Sanitation 68
The 1968 Memphis sanitation strikes were a pivotal moment in the fight for civil rights and economic equality. Led by Martin Luther King Jr., sanitation workers, many of whom were African American, went on strike to protest poor working conditions, low pay, and a lack of benefits and union recognition. The strikes faced strong opposition from Memphis mayor Henry Loeb but gained widespread support from the black community. King's assassination in April 1968 galvanized further support for the strikes, and Loeb eventually signed an agreement granting the workers' demands. The Memphis strikes inspired similar sanitation worker strikes across the country and helped advance the civil rights movement's goals of desegregation and fair treatment in the workplace.
