Progressive Movement Progressive Movement aimed to restore economic opportunities and correct injustices in American life. Four goals of Progressives: Protecting Social Welfare Promoting Moral Improvement Creating Economic Reform Fostering Efficiency

Protecting Social Welfare Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) opened libraries, sponsored classes, etc. “Settlement Houses” began to remove children from slum life and educate them

Promoting Moral improvement Prohibition, the banning of alcohol and closing of Saloons, was instituted to improve moral behavior. Saloons provided immigrants with a meeting place, check cashing service and other necessities.

Anti-Saloon League The Anti-Saloon League, founded in 1893 in Oberlin, Ohio began life as a state organization. Its first offices were in Columbus, Ohio; in 1909, the League moved to nearby Westerville, Ohio where it also operated the American Issue Publishing Company. After 1895, however, the League became a powerful national organization. The League was a non-partisan organization that focused on the single issue of prohibition. The League had branches across the United States to work with churches in marshaling resources for the prohibition fight. In 1913, in a 20th anniversary convention held in Columbus, Ohio, the League announced its campaign to achieve national prohibition through a constitutional amendment. Allied with other temperance forces, especially the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, the League in 1916 oversaw the election of the two-thirds majorities necessary in both houses of Congress to initiate what became the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

Creating Economic Reform Eugene V. Debs begins American Socialist Party to balance out business. Journalist who wrote about the corrupt side of business became known as muckrakers.

Eugene V. Debs The issue is Socialism versus Capitalism. I am for Socialism because I am for humanity. We have been cursed with the reign of gold long enough. Money constitutes no proper basis of civilization. The time has come to regenerate society — we are on the eve of universal change. - Eugene V. Debs Why does Eugene V. Debs support the idea of Socialism over Capitalism? Who do you believe Eugene V. Debs blames for the problems of the Gilded Age?

Fostering Efficiency Introduction of the assembly line caused people to have to work like machines. This caused a high worker turnover from fatigue and injury.
