Question

The 1890s through 1921 witnessed the rise of Progressivism. What was this new phenomenon and how did progressivism in politics differ among Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson? Examine some of the various movements aimed at correcting social injustices. Some consider the progressive era, as it relates to Georgia, as an attempt to modernize the state. Discuss this point of view.

thanks for the help!

Same as my other question...i'm not expecting anyone to write an essay...just toss a few ideas out there...that's all

Answer 1

It began with the populist movement. The mechanical reaper had made agriculture in the north comptive with the south. Southern farms were losing the consumers due to low prices of products in the north [b'cause of technology]. The populist movement began to make demands for subzidized farming. This evolved into the progressive movement where the same concept was used to create goverment programs to "make right injustices" [with the inevitable regulation of free-market]. progressivism brought populism away from ag. and spread to other areas of the market.

Federal funding took an unconstitutional turn[taxes where ordained of congress to be used only for 1.police protection, 2. national defense, and 3. public works]

Answer 2

Progressivism was new because the industries became much larger and much more influential in politics than they were prior to the industrial revolution in the US (from 1860 onwards). Roosevelt believed the government needed to protect the people against the excesses of big business, and pushed for laws to do this (Food and Drug Act amongst others). He also used his attorney general to pursue anti-monopoly actions in Federal Court. Taft actually continued many of Roosevelt's policies, but did not have the flair that TR had. Wilson's policies were not much different from TR's, but he did reform the money system with the Federal Reserve and pushed for the income tax and the popular election of senators to the US Senate.

As to modernizing Georgia, the biggest obstacle to that were its demogogue racists leaders. The Frank case (1913) shows this in all its most discouraging features- a trumped up case, the ruin of a Governor who braved to face the bigots and commute Frank's life- and Frank's lynching.
As the old song goes:
Lynching slaves and hoarding cotton
Good times there are not forgotten
Look away, .......

Answer 3

Sorry, yet it rather is unrealistic. Why could desire to any candidate bow out for a reason alongside with this? anybody could desire to combat for what they want. in case you do no longer combat then needless to say you do no longer want it undesirable adequate. and that i do no longer keep in mind the Clintons easily affirming that invoice became the 1st "black" president. Society located that label on him. And confident, a president can help black themes and not easily be black. If Obama will become president I doubt that black usa will develop at great leaps and limits merely because of the fact he's black. Race rather shouldn't rely, yet regrettably to a pair human beings it does.
