Week 9: The Progressive Era (1890 - 1920)

“The Progressive Era (1890 - 1920) Progressivism is the term applied to a variety of responses to the economic and social problems rapid industrialization introduced to America. Progressivism began as a social movement and grew into a political movement. The early progressives rejected Social Darwinism.” After I read the chapter and took it in class, the progressive Era is one of the events that occurred in the US history. Also, it caught my attention in many angles such as poverty, violence, greed, racism, and class warfare. I found this website that gives details about the progressive era.
