The Impact of the Progressive Movement: Key Reformers and Lasting Reforms

The Progressive Movement aimed to address the issues of inequality, corruption, and inefficiency in early 20th-century America. Key figures included Theodore Roosevelt, known for his Square Deal and trust-busting efforts, William Howard Taft, who continued these reforms, and Woodrow Wilson, who introduced the New Freedom and established vital economic institutions like the Federal Reserve. Each of these reformers made significant contributions that shaped modern America, but specific reforms like the 17th Amendment and the Federal Trade Commission have had enduring impacts on society.
