The Rise of Progressivism

The late 1800s has been called the Gilded Age. The name came from an 1873 novel by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner titled The Gilded Age, which poked fun at the era’s greed and political corruption. Gilded means coated with a thin layer of gold. It implies that a surface glitter hides a darker reality. For many Americans, the novel captured the spirit of the time. In the words of one observer, it was government “of, by, and for the rich.” The Progressive reform movement received a huge boost when Theodore Roosevelt became President in 1901. He was the first of three Presidents who used their power as the nation’s chief executive to fight for Progressive causes.

Immigration and Urbanization

Between 1865 and 1915, more than 25 million immigrants poured into the United States. They came full of hope and excitement but also with some anxiety. Economic opportunity meant jobs, and the nation’s ever-expanding industries provided them. New immigrants, along with Americans fresh off the farm, poured into the cities in search of factory work. City populations swelled.

What positive impact could you have made as an informed citizen during the Gilded Age?

During the Gilded Age, there were a number of issues that were causing problems in the United States from child labor to unfair business practices. Pretend you are living during the Gilded Age, what reforms would you want to see? Let’s start with the ultimate goal, and then work backward: For this project, you will create an infographic, a letter to a local official, create a soapbox speech, or PSA on a topic of your choice inspired by the Driving Question (DQ) that is posted above.

Audience: In choosing an audience, you want to think about who is most affected by your issue and people who can help you in your cause. It should not be “everyone” or “anyone who wants to listen” but rather specific groups of people who have a vested interest in your topic. We will be using Project-Based Learning strategies to complete our project. Please refer to the schedule below for a general guide to assist with your planning.

Tuesday: Fill out the claim, evidence, and reasoning (CER) document. You are going to want to research and find credible sources to help you determine a path forward for your topic. You also need to come up with your driving question.

The Labor Movement

Before the Civil War, most factories were small and family-run. Bosses knew their workers by name and chatted with them about their families. Because most workers had skills that the factory needed, they could bargain with the boss for better wages. By the late 1800s, though, factories had changed, and workers needed to adapt.

Industry and Corporations

The railroads that arose after the Civil War were big businesses. Other big businesses followed as entrepreneurs, industrialists, and bankers found new ways to increase economic efficiency and the output of goods. In the process, they brought prosperity to the country and fabulous wealth to themselves.

The U.S. Patent Office had never seen a year like 1897. An average of nearly 60 patents, or licenses for new inventions, were being granted every day. By year’s end, Americans had registered some 21,000 patents, more than the total recorded in the entire 1850s.

Mining, Railroads, and the Economy

The lure of silver and gold drew eager prospectors to the West starting well before the Civil War. After the war, the railroads carried hordes of eager settlers to the West, along with the goods they would need to make a life in this region. In the process, the railroads promoted economic expansion and the growth of cities.

Early Reconstruction

At the end of the Civil War, the future looked bleak to many southerners. Across the South, cities and farms lay in ruins. All southerners, black or white, faced an unfamiliar new world. At the same time, a shattered nation had to find a way to become whole again.

Radical Reconstruction

Under Johnson’s Reconstruction plan, most southern states promptly ratified the Thirteenth Amendment. However, southern legislatures also passed black codes, laws that severely limited the rights of freed African Americans. Their purpose was to preserve African Americans as an underclass and a source of cheap labor.
