ACT
The Progressive Era from the 1890s to the 1920s evolved as a response to the negative effects of industrialization. Reforms that emerged provided protections for workers and consumers and gave women voting rights. Backlash against the changes, from labor unions, for example, brought resentments towards immigrants and saw the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan, discriminatory immigration policies, and the science of eugenics. Includes questions for students at end.
