The Progressive Era “Welcome to the jungle.” --Guns N Roses “Let the rain fall down / I’m coming clean” --Hilary Duff “Don’t call it a comeback” --LL Cool J

The Progressive Era Industrialization creates crowded cities, bad working conditions, and failing political systems These problems give rise to the Progressive Movement in which fixing social, political and economic issues take center stage.

The Progressive Era Issues Dangerous working conditions Child Labor Long hours, low wages, no job security, no benefits Equal access to employment and pay for women Goals of Progressive Movement Government controlled by the people Guaranteed economic opportunities through government regulation Elimination of social injustices

Cleaning Up the Muck Muckrakers – journalists who exposed corruption in government, business and society Ex: Ida Tarbell – exposed Standard Oil Company as corrupt monopoly Ex: Upton Sinclair – wrote The Jungle (1906) as exposé on working conditions in Chicago’s meat factories, but gets more attention for the horrible conditions of food preparation Responsible for getting Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act passed in 1906 after President Roosevelt read the book

Political Reforms = power to voters Direct primaries –people choose candidates for elections rather than party officials (to prevent political machines) Secret ballot - voters' choices are confidential to ensure bribery and intimidation don’t influence the voter Initiative- a bill that is launched by the citizens rather than legislators (citizens creating laws) Referendum - citizens challenge a law passed by the state legislature or local body Recall- removing a public official from office before her term was up

African Americans and Progressivism Booker T.
