Progressive Era Concept Map Overview
The Progressive Era, roughly 1890 to 1920, was a period of reform in the United States. Reformers responded to industrialization, urban poverty and political corruption. A progressive era concept map usually divides the period into reform areas such as labor, politics, business regulation, social welfare and conservation, each linked to its leaders and laws.
- Political reform: direct primaries, initiative, recall and referendum
- Economic regulation: antitrust action and railroad oversight
- Labor and social welfare: child labor limits, workplace safety and women's suffrage
- Consumer protection: food and drug laws and meatpacking inspection
- Conservation: national parks and forest protection
Use the map to review cause and effect before an exam, or to compare reform areas side by side. Generate a version from your own notes with CogniGuide to match your course.
