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.
I'm talking about America in the late 19th and early 20th century. From about the 1880s to about the 1920s, the Progressive Era in America tried to address these issues through a time of great social activism and political reform.ut you'd be wrong!
