Definition

  • The Progressive Era flourished from about 1900 to 1917, when Americans concluded that the governmental and economic affairs of the country were being run by unscrupulous politicians and powerful corporate interests. Much legislation enacted by Congress was designed to further the influence and financial advantage of these interlocking groups. [Source: Congress A to Z; Progressive Era]
