Context
Through the late 1800s and into the early 1900s, America experienced growing pains. This was because the United States went from a rural, agricultural nation to an urban, industrial society in a very short time span. At the same time 25 million people poured into the United States (most of them settling in major cities) from other countries. These changes exposed several significant problems. Many leaders and groups disagreed how this was to be done and to what extent these were problems should be fixed by our government. The readings below are different looks at different problems intended to give you a sense of what was going on in America during this era of progressivism and reform.
