Progressivism was the reform movement that ran from the late 19th century through the first decades of the 20th century, during which leading intellectuals and social reformers in the United States sought to address the economic, political, and cultural questions that had arisen in the context of the rapid changes brought with the Industrial Revolution and the growth of modern capitalism in America.
In America, progressivism began as a social movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and grew into a political movement, in what was known as the Progressive Era.merican President Theodore Roosevelt of the US Republican Party and later the US Progressive Party declared that he always believed that wise progressivism and wise conservatism go hand in hand. American President Woodrow Wilson was also a member of the American progressive movement within the Democratic Party.
