This fascinating guide documents the transformation of government
from passive observer to active participant and ally of the
American people during the late-19th and early-20th centuries. The
progressive impulse that energized the United States between 1890
and 1920 forever altered the nature of American government and its
relation to its citizens. This book was written to reveal the
challenges Americans faced during the Progressive Era and to show
how their responses helped transform the nation. Combining a
narrative on the era with biographies of key participants,
significant primary sources, and an annotated bibliography, the
topically organized volume offers a lively contextual guide to one
of the great turning points in American history. In addition to
covering the major political events of the era, the guide provides
profiles of prominent Progressive figures such as Eugene V. Debs,
Mother Jones, Margaret Sanger, Jacob Riis, and W.E.B. DuBois. Teddy
Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and the National Progressive Agenda are
covered, as are the Muckrakers, the African American struggle for
equal rights, the women's suffrage movement, and efforts to better
the conditions of factory workers. The guide also details the rise
of the American Empire as the United States took its place on the
world stage. The most recent historiography is interwoven
throughout. Offers an accessible overview of the Progressive Era
that uniquely brings together a narrative, biographies, primary
source materials, and analysis Shares a new perspective on an era
that is part of the core curriculum of American history Provides
context essential to appreciating the interests, ideas, and
individuals responsible for shaping-or restricting-progressive
thought and action Acts as a research guide for high school and
undergraduate students Includes an annotated bibliography of print
and online primary and secondary sources to encourage further study
