1 Chapter 8 The Progressive Movement US History Seefeld
2 Section 1 The Roots of Progressivism After seeing the results of industrialization and laissez-faire economics reformers began to doubt free market s ability to address the problems. They believed government should take a more active role in solutions. Present government form would not facilitate corrections. Progressives were: Both political parties Urban Educated Middle class
3 Areas of Concern Trustbusting Protect common laborers Destroy Political Machines Voting Reform Improve urban living conditions Women s suffrage
4 Progressivism and Its Champions Industrialization helped many but also created dangerous working environments and unhealthy living conditions for the urban poor. Progressivism, a wide-ranging reform movement targeting these problems, began in the late 19th century. Journalists called muckrakers and urban photographers exposed people to the plight of the unfortunate in hopes of sparking reform. Jacob Riis Danish immigrant who faced New York poverty Exposed the slums through magazines, photographs, and a best-selling book His fame helped spark city reforms. How the Other Half Lives Ida Tarbell Exposed the corrupt Standard Oil Company and its owner, John D. Rockefeller Appealed to middle class scared by large business power Lincoln Steffens Shame of the Cities (1904) exposed corrupt city governments Frank Norris Exposed railroad monopolies in a 1901 novel
5 Reforming Government Scientific Management = efficiency! Frederick Taylor Optimized productivity Create more job opportunities Break jobs down into small tasks
6 City Management Opposed Mayor-Council format allowed Supported: Commission Form Each department is under the control of a commissioner who is an expert in that area. Council-Manager Form City council hires a city manager
7 Laboratory of Democracy Robert M. LaFollette Wisconsin governor Direct Primary all party members can vote for a candidate who will represent the party in the general election Prevents party bosses from controlling the elections
8 Initiative permits a group of voters to introduce legislation and required legislators to vote on it Referendum allows citizens to vote on proposed laws directly without going to legislators Recall voters can demand a special election to remove an elected official from office before term has expired. Eighteen states permit the recall of state officials:
9 Direct election of Senators Original constitution each state s legislators elected the state s senators. Political machines and wealthy businessmen had lots of influence in these elections 17 th Amendment The state s voters elected senators Removed one check on federal power
10 Suffrage 1848 Seneca Falls, NY Declaration of Rights and Sentiments Universal women s suffrage Abolishing slavery took precedence for most reformers After the Civil War the women s suffrage movement split into two camps. (weakens movement) Constitutional Amendment Convince state governments to give women voting rights.
11 National American Women Suffrage Association United both groups Difficult to convince women to become politically active until the progressive movement grew in power. Wilson s inauguration, 1913, suffragists marched.
12 NAWSA Carrie Chapman Catt new president Supported Wilson s reelection campaign Nineteenth Amendment passed, 1920 ratified
13 National Women s Party Alice Paul split from NAWSA Picketed the White House Blocked sidewalks Chained themselves to lampposts Hunger strikes
14 Child Labor Horrible working conditions for children convinced states to begin passing laws the set limits on child labor Types of jobs Hours work Minimum age
15 Health & Safety Codes Pressured employers to pass worker s compensation laws Insurance funds to provide payments to workers injured in work-related accidents. Zoning laws Divide a city into zones for commercial, residential and other uses. Regulates how land and buildings can be used
16 Building Codes Set minimum standards Light Air Room size Sanitation Fire escapes Triangle Shirtwaist Fire Health Codes Required restaurants and other facilities to maintain clean environments.
17 Prohibition Hard-earned wages were often spent on alcohol Temperance Movement = advocated stopping or moderating intake of alcohol Women s Christian Temperance Union Prohibition laws which banned the manufacture, sale and consumption of alcohol

19 Teddy Roosevelt Square Deal Social Darwinism and Progressivism - together Trustbuster Make an example of major trusts he believed were abusing their power Northern Securities J.P. Morgan Violation of Sherman Antitrust Act T.R. popularity grew
20 Coal Strike of 1902 United Mine Workers launched a strike Increased in pay Reduced work hours Union recognition Coal prices rose Roosevelt urged the union and owners to accept arbitration = settlement negotiated by an outside party Union agreed, owners did not
21 Roosevelt threatened to order troops in to run the mines Owners negotiated Big change in the way government responded to strikes.
22 Department of Labor and Commerce Most trusts benefit the economy so the goal is not to destroy them all. The best strategy for preventing trusts from abusing consumers would be to keep the public informed. US Steel Worried about a lawsuit they offered a deal Open books Issues found would be handled privately
23 Hepburn Act Strengthen the Interstate Commerce Act Gave it power to set railroad rates At first RR were upset Then they realized if they worked with government they could also protect themselves and their profits. Control rates and regulations
24 Consumer Protection Patent Medicine Potions which were little more than alcohol, colored water and sugar sometimes drugs like caffeine, cocaine, and opium These cures often caused health problems or death
25 Safe Food The Jungle Upton Sinclair Agriculture Department Embalmed meat unsafe chemicals Pure Food and Drug Act Prohibited the manufacture, sale or shipment of impure or falsely labeled food and drugs Meat Inspection Act Required federal inspection Set standards of cleanliness

34 Taft s Achievements Trustbuster Brought twice as many antitrust lawsuits as Roosevelt Children s Bureau Investigated and publicized the problems of child labor Conservationist Acres set aside for protection surpassed Roosevelt Bureau of Mines New technologies Protect waterpower sites
