Beginning with an extensive overview essay of the period, this book
focuses on the issues of the Progressive Era through contemporary
accounts of the people involved. Each issue is presented with an
introductory essay and multiple primary documents from the
newspapers of the day, which illustrate both sides of the debate.
This is a perfect resource for students interested in the
controversial and tumultuous changes America underwent during the
Industrial Age and up to the start of World War I. With the death
of southern reconstruction, Americans looked first westward and
then abroad to fulfill their manifest destiny. Along the way,
robber barons built railroads and oil trusts, populism burned
across the prairies, currency went off the gold standard,
immigrants poured into urban areas, and the United States won
imperial outposts in Cuba and the Philippines. Beginning with an
