List 4 things Progressives fought for: a. b. c. d.

2 Directions: Read the following summary and answer the questions below: After 1865 millions of new immigrants came to the United States. Most came from eastern and southern Europe, while thousands more came from Japan and China. These new immigrants had many differences from the culture of the old immigrants to the U.S. (religion, language and education). Many were pushed to come to the U.S. by poverty and persecution while others were pulled here by hopes of opportunity. Others from the rural parts of the United States also moved to the new industrialized cities. Escaping the horrible racism of the south, African Americans flocked to the northern cities in search of jobs. Many failed homesteaders and young people from the west also came east to find jobs and a better life. As these people came to the new American cities, they found terrible working and living conditions. Working in factories and mines was unhealthy and unsafe. Pay was so low, that many families were forced to have even the children work. Living conditions at home were no better as workers were stuffed into poorly built and dangerous apartments known as tenements. These workers soon organized unions to demand better pay and working conditions. It was the amazing mix of immigrants, migrants, poverty, wealth and industry that created the modern American city. Skyscrapers soared while immigrants lived just blocks away in the horrible filth of the tenements. Wealthy Robber Barons competed with each other to build lavish mansions as the poor struggled in dingy dirty factories for little pay. Horrible pollution caused disease and terrible living conditions as the people tried to find a balance between the power and wealth of the industrial age and the pollution, poverty and death it was causing. This struggle to find answers to the problems of the Industrial Age became known as Progressivism. Progressive reformers fought against political corruption, urban problems and business abuses. Others fought to improve the lives of the migrants and immigrants stuck in the most horrible working and living conditions of the city. At its peak, the Progressive Era saw the election of president Teddy Roosevelt who became known as the Trust Buster, for forcing companies with monopolies like Standard Oil to be broken up. Newspapers and journalist also helped the movement by Muckraking (digging up the dirt of bad businesses) in such books as How the Other Half Lives and The Jungle. Women also began to play a larger role in changing society. They started clubs which helped workers, children, immigrants and the poor. One famous example was Jane Addams who started the Hull House in Chicago. The Hull House was what became known as a Settlement House that acted as a community center to help immigrants, women and children. Women also pushed for and won passage of the 19 th Amendment, finally allowing them the right to vote. That was soon followed with the 20 th Amendment that banned the production and sale of alcohol, known as Prohibition. Overall, this era of American history saw dramatic improvements. Cities became cleaner with parks and new sewer systems. Laws were changed that gave more power to voters and limited government corruption. Factories and safety of the food supply also improved as Muckrakers and women led the movement to reform. Though troubles such as racism and the rise of the KKK in the north continued, the United States became a healthier and safer country.
