We kick off our examination of the Progressive Era, by asking a series of questions:

​

• What are the themes of American life post-Civil War?

• What is the population in 1900?  Immigrant population?  Farm population?

• Who controls the country?  Who sets policy?

• Where do Americans live?  How do Americans live?  How much money do they earn?

• What are the social classes?  What does each class value?

 

Who will control the future?
