1) There were many accomplishments of the progressive movement including laws to protect people and their health, redistribution of wealth, and opening people’s minds and the government to new ideas and abandoning old traditions. However, there were many weaknesses to progressivism including war and material progress lessening the enthusiasm of progressive activists, progressive goals often contradicted each other, government remained under the control of big business, and as reforms failed opposition to progressivism grew. The Progressive Era was not a complete failure but not a complete success either. It was somewhere in the middle.
2) The progressives helped Native Americans, Women, and African Americans gain rights and respect in American society. These minority groups were treated more equally due to the progressive movement

1. Yes, i think that progressives for the most part met their goals. Progressivism was a great period in american history where many changes occurred and the voice of the public was heard over industry and big business. Many social reforms and even political reforms where made during this time. I also think one of the most important goals met was trustbusting and the elimination of big boss' and such. Break the powerful trusts and monopolies was a key factor in progressivism and accomplishing its goals.
2. Progressives gave Native Americans, African Americans and Women rights. Such as voting and making them equal with the rest of society. This was also a key step towards desegregation.

1. Many goals were accomplished in Progressivism. Some goals were industrialists started being considerate and were more open minded to the public’s opinion. Taxes did not only help make the community and surroundings better but also the government gave out money to distribute the wealth. So yes it did meet many if its goals and solved many of the problems in society then.

1.) I think that although there were a lot of problems with the progressive era that there were some victories. Even though trusts still corrupted the government there was some change to their constant take over of small businesses. Also, the progressive era opened up peoples eyes and let them see what was really going on.
2.) The progressives helped African Americans by influencing them to be more involved politically and economically. Women were guaranteed the right to vote as said in the 19th amendment. Native Americans were becoming more accepted into society.

1. Yes, overall Progressivism succeeded in fulfilling most of its goals. The number of monopolies was greatly reduced and new laws gave the government the power to better protect consumers. The introduction of income tax helped raise government revenues that could be used to help the poor while at the same time redistributing wealth among classes. But most importantly, the Progressive Era brought about a new way to face traditional institutions and domestic problems.

Progressivism was based on social reform. Progressives are characterized by the middle class and it was where white American men and women shared their concerns about threats in society. Progressive reforms/goals were improving labor protection, health care services, urban living, and environmental protection. They also wanted workplace compensation, minimum wage laws, transforming the taxation system, and reduction of corruption and increase popular participation in government. The Progressives were soon able to make government enact legislative protections in the areas they reformed. The progressives mainly accomplished all of their goals. They helped Native Americans because they instituted the Oregon System. They helped African Americans because Washington and DuBois were Progressives who urged blacks to assert themselves with whites economically and politically. Progressives helped women because they supported the temperance movement in which women were also supporting,

Many attempts to limit big business failed and laws were raised in favor of corporations instead of progressive legislation. This is because the business men were smart, that’s how they got rich so its also how they get the laws they want.

Answer: Progressivism did meet some of its goals, but there were present weaknesses along the way. Some of the successes include anti-trust acts which made monopolies illegal and reduced unfair business practices. Meat Inspection Acts were passed to ensure that meat processing was done in clean conditions. Three groups were significantly helped by the Progressives and they are: women, Native Americans, and African Americans. African Americans were helped when progressives fought hard racial anti-discrimination. There were reform movements for women’s suffrage and Native Americans were given new rights, such as opportunities to obtain wealth.
