Unit 3: Progressive Era & ImperialismIn the late 1800s and early 1900's, America was plagued by a multitude of societal ills and injustices. From the abuses of the working class and their poor working and living conditions, to the excesses of the wealthy, to the denial of women and minority rights, many people demanded reform. During this time Americans began working to fight corruption in local government, reduce the power of big business and improve society. To bring about change, reformers first had to ignite public outrage. A newer and more investigative journalistic style known as “muckraking” emerged and exposed for the public many of our nation's problems. These “muckrakers” used the press as a weapon to change public opinion. They visited slums and described the horrible conditions that existed there. They also photographed shocking images of slum life. Ultimately, these investigative journalists aided the reform movement greatly by educating Americans to the nation's social and political problems.
