The
Progressives Webquest
Introduction Task Process Resources Evaluation Conclusion
During the late 1800’s and
early 1900’s, America
struggled to deal with problems resulting from its quick growth into a world
industrial power. Some of the problems
facing the United States
during this time period were related to working conditions, immigration,
urbanization, big business, natural resources, government, and more. Though the problems were plentiful, so were
the men and women that were ready to work hard to make reforms and transform
the United States. These people, who had the public good in
mind, are better known as Progressives.
They wanted to attack problems in society head on and make the nation
better for everyone.
