Discuss the general characteristics of the progressive movement in the United States and indicate how successful you think the movement was in reforming American society

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Progressivism represented a many-sided attack on the problems that had developed out of the industrialization of the American economy. The diversity of the movement often led to contradictions in policy positions. It increased the power of the federal government to deal with economic and social issues and stressed the importance of experts and statistical information. Although optimistic about their ability to improve American society, the progressives did not fundamentally change American society or its economy.
