Consider the following as you do your readings
In the views of progressives, what was wrong with American society? What solutions did they try to use? Be
specific.
Most active progressives were middle-class Americans. Why was progressive reform more attractive to them
than other “interest groups” at the time?
Compare and contrast Roosevelt’s New Nationalism and Wilson’s New Freedom programs. Which seems to
you to be the more realistic response to industrialization? Why?
What were the most important of Wilson’s progressive reforms? Was Wilson actually a more effective
progressive than Theodore Roosevelt? Why or why not?
