Progressive Era Concept Map Breakdown

The Progressive Era, roughly 1890 to 1920, was a period of reform in the United States. Reformers responded to industrialization, urban poverty, corruption and monopolies. A concept map of this era usually splits into political reforms, social reforms, economic regulation and the key figures behind them.

  • Political reforms: direct primaries, initiative, referendum and recall
  • Social reforms: child labor laws, settlement houses and temperance
  • Economic regulation: antitrust action, railroad rates and the Federal Reserve
  • Key figures: Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Jane Addams

Use the map to revise causes, reforms and results side by side. To build a version from your own course notes, create a personalized map with CogniGuide.

Progressive Era Concept Map Questions

Common questions about the era and about making your own map.

When did the Progressive Era happen?

Most historians date the Progressive Era from about 1890 to 1920. It followed the Gilded Age and ended around the start of the 1920s, though its reforms continued after that.

What caused the Progressive Era?

Rapid industrialization, urban poverty, political corruption and the power of large trusts pushed reformers to act. Muckraking journalists helped expose these problems to the public.

Which file types can I use to make my map?

You can upload a PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) file, a text or Markdown file, or an image. You can also type the topic name.
