The progressives, as they called themselves, worked to make American society a better and safer place in which to live.

They worked to clean up corrupt city governments, to improve working conditions in factories, and to better living conditions for those who lived in slum areas, a large number of whom were recent immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe. Many progressives were also concerned with the environment and conservation of resources."]]> 2020-06-29 00:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/natjablonski1/pp2jura6lj8pa0g/wish/642462913 natjablonski1 https://padlet.com/natjablonski1/pp2jura6lj8pa0g/wish/642463316 2020-06-29 00:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/natjablonski1/pp2jura6lj8pa0g/wish/642463316 natjablonski1 https://padlet.com/natjablonski1/pp2jura6lj8pa0g/wish/642464689 "he Panic of 1873 was blamed for setting off the economic depression that lasted from 1873 to 1879.
