Reflection Chapter 10

This chapter it was really interesting because changes in the country through centuries brought a variety of new reform ideas. The plans of reform fed into a stream of ideas that came to be called progressivism. Though progressives did not all share the same ideas and belief, they often used similar methods.  Targets for the proposed reforms included politics, society and the economy. Through time the progressive era produced several different kinds of reform. These reforms took place at the urban, state, and federal levels.  It was amazing how the progressivism had an impact on the national politics so in 1192 several of the loosely allied interest that made up progresses joined forces in a new political party. Taft’s presidency was marked by progressive lesgitation and a rebel movement within his own party. The final turning point in history was when the quest for woman suffrage took more than seventy years and required great effort. The campaign experienced internal division before finally achieving victory.
