Progressive Movement Era

I would define progress as a movement going forward in time or place. Webster Dictionary defines progress as " a movement forward or toward a place" and " the process of improving or developing something over a period of time." People referrer to the time between the 1890s - 1920s as the Progressive Era. According to an article named The Progressive Era (The New Era) it was deemed to this term because of the movement going forward in society and the economy. According to the article Theodore Roosevelt: The Making of a Progressive Reformer, President Roosevelt "endorsed"  "minimum wage laws" and "mother's pension". According to Causes of the Progressive Movement because there was a "Negative Impact in Industrialization" working conditions had worsened, "rapid" urbanization had caused housing quality to plummet, there was a "rise in crime" in the urban areas, and there was also a " discrimination" against women (aka "Womens suffrage). All the goals that the Progressive movements that the government wanted had turned put to not come true, but became even more of a problem the people w\had wanted. It seems as though by trying by trying to help make a progressive movement in society and the economy it seemed to worsen everything they had tried to make better.
