Progressive Movement

The Progressive Movement evolved around the turn of the century and continued to be a force in American politics and social reform until the start of World War I. It was a response to the transformation of the country from an agricultural nation to an industrial one. This book presents excerpts from key leaders of the time, such as LaFollette, Roosevelt, Wilson, DuBois, and from the "common man," through speeches, letters, news releases, government documents, cartoons, and photographs.
