Progressivism flourished in the first two decades of the twentieth century for several reasons. One major factor was the widespread social and economic changes brought about by industrialization and urbanization. As cities grew and industries expanded, so did the problems associated with them, such as poor working conditions, overcrowding, and political corruption. These issues prompted many Americans to advocate for reforms to address these problems, leading to the rise of the progressive movement.
Additionally, the increasing influence of the media, including muckraking journalists who exposed social injustices and political corruption, helped to galvanize public opinion and support for progressive reforms. The efforts of activists and reformers, such as Jane Addams, Upton Sinclair, and Theodore Roosevelt, also played a crucial role in promoting progressive ideals and pushing for change.
Furthermore, the aftermath of the Gilded Age, with its rampant inequality and unregulated capitalism, created a fertile ground for the growth of progressivism. Many Americans became disillusioned with the unchecked power of big business and sought to rein in corporate influence through regulatory measures and antitrust laws.
Overall, the convergence of these factors contributed to the flourishing of progressivism in the early 1900s, as Americans sought to address the social, economic, and political challenges of the rapidly changing society.
