Excerpt from The Progressive Movement
So much attention has been given to the rise and development of the Progressive party in the United States that there has been a tendency to overlook the larger and more fundamental movement of which it is a part. Although this movement had struck its roots far back in the past and was already vigorous and grow ing when the campaign of 1912 began, the sudden, meteoric appearance of the new party, the striking per sonality of its candidate for President, and the wide variety of issues raised, thrust the movement itself into the background. The result has been a confusion of the party with the movement, a belief that they advocate precisely the same principles, and a conviction that they must stand or fall together.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the development of the Progressive movement in American politics, from its origins in the late 19th century to its reshaping into what the author terms three distinct strands: corporation control, government control, and social/economic relief. The author places the movement's drive for change within the historical US context of post-Civil War industrial expansion, which saw a shift in public perception regarding the role of government and a growing sense that business and industry had gained undue influence. The book examines the ways in which Progressive Era reformers sought to remedy perceived injustices, including government corruption, unfair labor practices, and economic inequality. These reforms would ultimately shape the role of the federal government in American life, laying the groundwork for modern social welfare programs as well as regulations on business and industry.
