Reform Movements in the U.S

The Progressive Movement (1901-1917)

The Progressive Movement was initiated as a response to political and corporate  abuses at the turn of the Twentieth Century. Religious groups, members of the press, and radical political groups all cried out for reform, with solutions ranging from subtle reforms of the American capitalist  economy, to a call for the creation of a socialist government.

Reforms were initiated by individuals, and at the city, state, and national levels of government.            (from Regentsprep.org)
