WILL GIVE BRAINIEST!!! Beginning in the Progressive Era, activists and reformers sought help and guidance from the federal government to usher in new laws and protections. Explain these changes in American attitudes regarding reform and regulation. As you likely know, once the Great Depression hit, President Franklin Roosevelt further changed and influenced American attitudes regarding the responsibility of the federal government. How did the Progressive Era pave the way for further changes in the federal government's response?

Characteristics of the Progressive Era include purification of the government, modernization, a focus on family and education, prohibition, and women’s suffrage.

Many Progressives sought to rid the government of corruption, and muckraking became a particular type of journalism that exposed waste, corruption, and scandal on a national level.

Two of the most important outcomes of the Progressive Era were the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Amendments, the first of which outlawed the manufacturing, sale, or transport of alcohol, and the second of which enfranchised women with the right to vote.

The national political leaders of the Progressive Era included Theodore Roosevelt, Robert M. La Follette Sr., Charles Evans Hughes, and Herbert Hoover on the Republican side, and William Jennings Bryan, Woodrow Wilson, and Al Smith on the Democratic side.

Theodore Roosevelt is often cited as the first Progressive president, known for his trust -busting activities.

Progressives did little for civil rights or the plight of African Americans in the aftermath of Reconstruction, as the Supreme Court affirmed the constitutionality of many racist southern laws.
