Progressive Era to New Era, 1900-1929

The Progressive Era, which lasted from 1900 to 1929, was a period of reform in the United States.

It was a response to the rapid industrialization during the late 19th century, which brought with it problems such as poverty, corruption, and inequality.

During this time, Progressive reforms sought to address these issues, such as passing laws to regulate businesses, improve working conditions, and protect consumers.

The National Reclamation Act of 1902 was passed, which provided federal funds for irrigation projects in the arid western states.

The Progressive Era was also characterized by the introduction of new technologies, such as the automobile, electricity, and the telephone.

The Nineteenth Amendment was passed, giving women the right to vote.

The establishment of the Federal Trade Commission in 1914 sought to regulate unfair business practices.
