THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT-GROWING PRESSURE FOR CHANGE

-BASICALLY A “CLEAN UP” CAMPAIGN

(NOT JUST OF OUR NATION & STATES, BUT “OUR HEMISPHERE”)

-ATTEMPT TO RETURN GOV’T “TO THE PEOPLE”

MAY HAVE BEEN A REACTION TO THE BOSS SYSTEM…

PROGRESSIVES WERE ALMOST COMPLETELY OPPOSITE FROM OUR PURITAN HERITAGE…

-OPTIMISTIC ABOUT HUMAN NATURE

-BELIEVE IN POSSIBILITY OF PROGRESS

-WANT TO SOLVE SOCIETAL PROBLEMS

PROGRESSIVES WERE WILLING TO LET THE GOVERNMENT INTERFERE IN PEOPLES LIVES IN ORDER TO HELP PUBLIC GOOD

(PUSH FOR REFORM).

A MIDDLE CLASS MOVEMENT OF PROPSPEROUS FARMERS, BUSINESSMEN & PROFESSIONALS, THEY BELIEVED IN PROGRESS. SOME OF IT WAS AIMED AT REDUCING POWER OF “ROBBER BARONS.”

THE MOVEMENT ENTERED OUR POLITICS

-MOVE FROM “CONQUER AND PREACH”

-EXAMPLES:

GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY

OPEN DOOR POLICY

UNFORTUNATELY, WE BECAME SO INVOLVED IN OURSELVES AND ISOLATED, THAT WE DIDN’T SEE THE PROBLEMS IN EUROPE…

WE DIDN’T SEE WORLD WAR I COMING…
