Objective • 17. Populism and Progressivism • Origins of Progressive reform: municipal, state, and national • Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson as Progressive presidents • Women’s roles: family, workplace, education, politics, and reform • Black America: urban migration and civil rights initiatives
Progressive Era, 1900-1916 • In groups of 4-5, take detailed notes and then create a poster presentation teaching the class one aspect of the Progressive Era: • 1. An Urban Age and A Consumer Society • “Why was the city such a central part of Progressive America?” • 2. Varieties of Progressivism • “How did the labor and women’s movements change the meaning of American freedom?” • 3.

The Progressive Presidents • “How did the Progressive Presidents foster the rise of the nation-state?”
DBQ: Workshop • Planning the essay and writing a thesis. • In pairs, look at the DBQ you are passed and copy down the prompt. • Decide what kind of prompt it is. • Draw a graphic organizer to sort the documents (T chart, vin diagram, etc.) • Categorize / group the documents. • Formulate, discuss, and write the thesis. • Pass the DBQ after 15 minutes. (Repeat 5 times)
Progressives DBQ • 1. To what extent did the leaders of the Progressive Movement introduce and sell to the American public a new philosophy of government that profoundly changed the nation forever. • 2. To what extent were the reform efforts of the Progressive Era aimed at maintaining the existing society and to what extent did they bring about radical changes? • 3. Evaluate the effectiveness of Progressive Era reformers and the federal government in bringing about reform at the national level. In your answer be sure to analyze the successes and limitations of these efforts in the period 1900-1920. • 4. The impact of Theodore Roosevelt has been overemphasized.

Assess the validity of this statement. • 5. Using your knowledge of the progressive era, a clear definition of progressivism, and the following documents; assess why and in what ways Theodore Roosevelt could correctly be labeled a progressive politician.

La Follette; Lincoln Stephens; Jane Addams; Ida M. Tarbell; Woodrow Wilson
