 The Progressive Movement was a REFORM movement that worked to correct the abuses of American society.  By 1900, the U.S. was a rich and powerful nation. Industrialization, urbanization, and immigration had transformed the U.S. into a major world economy.  Changes in American life brought problems. The negative effects of these changes led many Americans to call for reform.

 REFORM  “Progressivism”: the political orientation of those who favor progress toward better conditions in government and society ( )  “Progressive”: a person believing in moderate political change and social improvement through political action (Merriam-Webster Dictionary) Between the years:  When? Between the years:

 Not a single group of people. They were made up of many different kinds of Americans and movements.  Progressives were: mainly city dwellers; educated professionals- doctors, lawyers, social workers, clergy, teachers.  Muckrakers were: Journalists, writers, artists, and photographers who helped bring reform issues to the attention of the public.  Investigated and exposed corruption through articles in mass-circulation magazines. They wrote novels that dramatized situations demanding reform.

 Believed that abuses of power by government and business should be ended.  Believed that new developments in technology and science should be used to improve American institutions- business, government, education, family life.  Believed in capitalism and were concerned with growth of socialism as a more radical reaction to effects of industrialization.  Believed that politics were corrupt and that a strong government should correct abuses and protect rights.

 It was centered in cities – where most of the population was living at the time.  The telephone and telegraph helped make communication faster.  Mass circulation of newspapers and magazines spread progressive ideas quickly to a large group of people.  The era included a growing U.S. economy and an optimistic climate among Americans.

 Describe three areas in which we need muckrakers in today’s American society.
