The jury took only half an hour to convict Czolgosz. On September 26, Czolgosz was sentenced to death.[He was immediately taken to Auburn State Prison to await execution.

According to one account, Czolgosz expressed remorse on his way to Auburn, saying, "I wish the people to know I am sorry for what I did. It was a mistake and it was wrong. If I had it to do over again I never would do it. But it is too late now to talk of that. I am sorry I killed the President."Czolgosz was executed by means of electrocution on October 29, 1901. His last words are variously reported as, "I killed the President for the good of the laboring people, the good people. I am not sorry for my crime but I am sorry I can't see my father"; or, "I killed the President because he was the enemy of the good people—the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime."

Progressive Era:A reform movement which sought to remove injustices& hardships caused by the industrial society…

What is it????1. Broad cultural vision2. Cluster of moral & humanitarian goals3. Political reforms

Progressives believed in PROGRESS… they believed that Social Darwinism & Laissez-faire did not work, that government could and should play an important role in removing injustices…

Page 15: Turn of the Century America: 1898 – 1910. Spanish – American War: 1898 Causes of the War: 1. Cuba struggling with Spain… Cuba wants independence 2. Reports.

Progressive Era

Progressives had 3 major beliefs:1. Anti-monopoly2. Belief in Social Cohesion: we are not

autonomous BUT a part of a great web of social relations…

The welfare of any single person is dependent on the welfare of a society as a whole.

Everyone has a social responsibility to its people and to its society!

3. A belief in organization and efficiency The Progressive Movement began with “Crusading Journalist”

They opened the public’s eyes to social, economic and

political injustices… Teddy Roosevelt called them “Muckrakers”

Page 16: Turn of the Century America: 1898 – 1910. Spanish – American War: 1898 Causes of the War: 1. Cuba struggling with Spain… Cuba wants independence 2. Reports.
Page 17: Turn of the Century America: 1898 – 1910. Spanish – American War: 1898 Causes of the War: 1. Cuba struggling with Spain… Cuba wants independence 2. Reports.

Important “Muckrakers”

1. Lincoln Steffens: “Shame of the Cities

2. Ida Tarbell: “Standard Oil Trust”3. Jacob Riis: “How the Other ½ Lives”4. Upton Sinclair: “The Jungle”

They exposed: problems of child labor, ghettos, prostitution, waste, destruction of our natural resources, woman, Blacks…

Progressive Movement also brought the USA into the age of the “EXPERT”… a high value on knowledge & expertise…

They will take over all aspects of life:Building, manufacturing, professionals

Page 20: Turn of the Century America: 1898 – 1910. Spanish – American War: 1898 Causes of the War: 1. Cuba struggling with Spain… Cuba wants independence 2. Reports.

Civil Rights:

Court Case: Plessy v. Ferguson “Separate But Equal”

Page 21: Turn of the Century America: 1898 – 1910. Spanish – American War: 1898 Causes of the War: 1. Cuba struggling with Spain… Cuba wants independence 2. Reports.

Civil Rights… 2 approaches

Booker T. Washington: Tuskegee InstituteLearn trades, gain better skills then focus on

EQUALITY

Character, not circumstances, makes the man.

I let no man drag me down so low as to make me hate him.

If you can't read, it's going to be hard to realize dreams. No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.

You can't hold a man down without staying down with him.

Page 22: Turn of the Century America: 1898 – 1910. Spanish – American War: 1898 Causes of the War: 1. Cuba struggling with Spain… Cuba wants independence 2. Reports.

W. E. B. Du Bois: Demanded Equal Rights NOW!!!! Wrote the book: The Souls of Black Folk

“To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships.”

“The cost of liberty is less than the price of repression.”“The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.”“The power of the ballot we need in sheer defense, else what shall save us from a second slavery?”

“All men cannot go to college but some men must; every isolated group or nation must have its yeast, must have for the talented few centers of training where men are not so mystified and befuddled by the hard and necessary toil of earning a living, as to have no aims higher than their bellies, and no God greater than Gold.”

Page 23: Turn of the Century America: 1898 – 1910. Spanish – American War: 1898 Causes of the War: 1. Cuba struggling with Spain… Cuba wants independence 2. Reports.

Difference between Washington & Du Bois

Born into slavery

Only after establishing a secure economic base, could Blacks hope to realize their other goal of political and social equality

Took a pragmatic approach to economic development

Born in the North… College Educated

Political and social rights were a prerequisite for economic advancement

Took a militant approach for equal rights
