- The Progressive Movement began in the late 19th Century as a response to the challenges brought to them by industrialization and urbanization. During this time, people worked together to address social and political issues. The Progressives were urban, Northeast, educated, middle-class, Protestant reform-minded men and women. There was no official Progressive Party until 1912, but progressivism had already swept the nation.
- In the middle of the movement, many reforms were advocated for, including women's suffrage, workers' rights, and regulations on big businesses. It was something everyone struggled with at that time. Worker and consumer issues were addressed, conservation of natural resources was initiated and the plight of the urban poor was confronted. Before his two terms came to a close, the federal government passed legislation further restricting trusts, banning child labor and requiring worker compensation.
- However, the movement started to decline with World War |, as attention shifted towards the war effort, the Progressive Movement had a significant impact on shaping a more equitable and just society. It will forever be known as something important that helped society.
