The Rise of Progressivism
Progressive tried to solve the
social problems that arose as the United States an urban, industrialized
nation. Progressivism was a collection idea and activities. It was not a
tightly organized political movement with a specific set of reforms. Rather, it was a series of responses to
problems in American society that had emerged from the growth of industry.
Progressives had many different ideas about how to fix the problems they saw in
American society. They tried to make
government honest, efficient, and more democratic. The movement for women’s
suffrage gained more support, as did efforts to limit child labor and reduce
alcohol abuse.
