The Progressive Movement: Reforming Society Amidst Industrialization and Urbanization

The Progressive Movement emerged as a response to the societal challenges posed by industrialization and urbanization. Advocates, known as Progressives, sought to address these problems through various means, including muckraking journalism exemplified by Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" and the influential work of Ida Tarbell against corporate monopolies like Rockefeller's. The Social Gospel Movement emphasized the church's role in improving societal conditions. Women played a vital role in activism through figures like Florence Kelley and Jane Addams. Additionally, African American activists, including Ida B. Wells and organizations like the NAACP, contributed significantly to the Progressive agenda.
