Chapter 21 Questions

  1. Discuss the origins of Progressivism.  Make sure you note the contributions of the “muckraker,” the settlement house founders, and the Socialist Party of America.  What similarities do you see among the three?  What differences?
  1. Define what is meant by Progressivism.  Provide examples of Progressive changes that occurred at the city, state, and federal levels.
  1. Compare and contrast the Progressive presidencies of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.  Which of the two do you view as a better example of the Progressive movement?   Support your position with evidence?
  1. Discuss the ways in which the Progressive era improved the lives of American women.  Cite federal laws, national movements, and individual achievements where appropriate.  Evaluate the degree to which Progressive reforms actually changed the lives of women overall.
