The Progressive Movement emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, driven by urban, middle-class Americans, including journalists, social workers, and educators seeking societal reform. Muckrakers like Ida Tarbell and Upton Sinclair exposed corporate malfeasance, prompting calls for government efficiency and democratic reforms, including direct elections and suffrage. Leaders like Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson championed policies addressing labor, health, and civil rights. While Progressivism achieved significant reforms, its limitations and the fight for equality continued to evolve.
