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…

BEGINNING OF THE MOVEMENT… -PRESIDENCY OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT (42) LEON CZOLGOSZ SHOT MCKINLEY -”MUCKRAKERS” ARE CRUSADING JOURNALISTS -MCCLURE’S MAGAZINE (LINCOLN STEFFENS)

STEFFENS= THE SHAME OF THE CITIES IDA TARBELL= HISTORY OF STANDARD OIL NOVELISTS: FRANK NORRIS= THE OCTOPUS THEODORE DREISER= THE FINANCIER & THE TITAN JACK LONDON= THE IRON HEEL

THE MOST FAMOUS WRITER WAS UPTON SINCLAIR … HE WROTE THE JUNGLE HE ACTUALLY LIVED WITH PEOPLE IN THE MEAT PACKING INDUSTRY TO WRITE THIS BOOK… WHICH MADE PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT “LOSE HIS BREAKFAST “ WHEN HE READ IT… …AND LED TO THE PURE FOOD & DRUG ACT AND THE MEAT INSPECTION ACT…

SOCIAL ISSUES… -CHILD LABOR -WOMEN’S WORK LAWS -MIN WAGE/MAX WORK HOURS -WORKER’S COMPENSATION -WOMEN’S RIGHTS AND THE BIG ONES…

Women led the movement with groups such as the WOMEN’S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION and the ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE. PROHIBITION …REGARDED AS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT DESTROYED FAMILY LIFE, PROMOTED DISEASE, AND LED TO UNEMPLOYMENT AND POVERTY… One of the most famous female prohibitionists was CARRIE NATION. Wielding an axe at six feet tall and 180 pound, she was a formidable force! 18TH LED TO THE PASSAGE OF THE 18TH AMENDMENT PLACING A COMPLETE BAN ON THE PRODUCTION, SALE, AND TRANSPORT OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES (1919). ENFORCED BY THE VOLSTEAD ACT.

Carrie Chapman Catt and Anna Howard Shaw started the National American Womens Sufferage Movement which had 2 million members by 1917. 19TH WOMENS’ SUFFERAGE LED BY SUSAN B. ANTHONY & ELIZABETH CADY STANTON…LED TO PASSAGE OF THE 19TH AMENDMENT. THE MOVEMENT WAS CONTINUED WITH THE FIGHT FOR THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT (ERA) BEGUN BY ALICE PAUL… MUELLER V. OREGON?

SOME PROGRESSIVES WENT A LITTLE EXTREME IN THEIR APPROACH TO REFORMING ECONOMICS. THEY WANTED TO REDO THE ECONOMY AND ELEMINATE CAPITALISM… SOME BECAME SOCIALISTS (EUGENE V. DEBS FOR PRESIDENT IN 1900) (Remember the IWW?)

STATE REFORMERS: ROBERT LAFOLLETTE (WI), CHARLES EVANS HUGHES (NY), HIRAM JOHNSON (CA) CITY REFORM: COMMISSIONS (GALVESTON TX) CITY MANAGERS VOTING REFORMS: SECRET BALLOT DIRECT PRIMARIES DIRECT ELECTION SENATORS INITIATIVE (VOTERS COMPEL LEGISLATURE TO CONSIDER A BILL) REFERENDUM (CITIZENS VOTE WITH BALLOT) RECALL (REMOVE POLITICIAN BEFORE TERM ENDS)
