Progressive Era

1.  I would define progress as the advancement to a goal, or the growth that comes from past failures.

2. 1890-1920 is the time period referred to as the progressive era because it was a time of social activism and political reform across the US.  The achievements of the progressive era  include purifying the government, women's suffrage, prohibition of alcohol, women's suffrage, and families being focused on the idea of a family and education. link

3. All progressive reforms are directed in reforming the government to promote equality.

4.

Essential goals worth striving for/ Necessary changes

  • removing corruption
  • women's suffrage
  • limitations on child labor


Good Goals – not strictly necessary but could really improve life

  • family oriented living
  • housing conditions
  • conserve and protect national resources
  • health and safety codes
  • prohibition


Strange Goals

Not a good idea
