  • Lesson 20: Progressivism, 1901-1917
    Summary: As the twentieth century began, the nation turned its attention to domestic affairs. Americans engaged in a massive burst of reform, attempting to change many aspects of American life. Those involved called this reform “progressivism” and said they were “Progressives.” The modern, strong presidency had been born, and corruption at all levels of government had been curbed for the time being. The many Americans who had felt the abuses of modernization and industrialization now had legal protections to make their lives better. White Americans now had a stronger say in their government, and steps had been taken to protect the environment. But the national outlook was not entirely positive. African Americans had made few gains, and the United States stood poised to enter a global conflict of tremendous proportions.

  • Unit 6
    Summary: The period from 1890-1914 witnessed the birth and early life of an American empire. As the twentieth century began, the nation turned its attention to domestic affairs. Much of the reform that took place in America, and around the world, in the first years of the twentieth century led people to believe that mankind was capable of progressing socially. This optimism and belief in human progress suffered a crushing blow from the immense and unspeakable horror of World War I, or “The Great War.”
