Progressive Reform
Progressive Reform refers to a series of social, political, and economic changes that emerged in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This movement aimed to address issues caused by industrialization, urbanization, and corruption in government. Key goals included improving labor conditions, expanding women's rights, and promoting social justice.
Prominent figures in the Progressive Reform movement included Theodore Roosevelt, Jane Addams, and W.E.B. Du Bois. They advocated for various reforms such as trust-busting to break up monopolies, the establishment of labor laws to protect workers, and the introduction of suffrage to grant women the right to vote.
