Progressive Summary

The Progressive Movement (1890-1917) was a pivotal time when reformers sought to address the challenges posed by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and laissez-faire economics. Comprised mainly of white, middle-class, native-born professionals, these reformers aimed for social justice, political democracy, and economic equality. They advocated for improvements in working conditions, regulation of unfair business practices, and the elimination of child labor. Key milestones included the implementation of pivotal amendments like income tax, direct election of senators, and women's suffrage, highlighting the movement’s lasting impact on American society.
