Assignment:

During the Progressive Era, Americans started to see the federal government in a new light, as a tool that could be used to trim the power of corporations. Progressives also saw local government in a new light, believing that it should be run by "experts" instead of used as political spoils and managed by political friends. To curb corruption, Progressives expanded government services. As a whole the Progressive Era was a time where the United States' politics was focused imposing order over the perceived chaos unleashed during the Gilded Age. How do we reconcile the facts that the Progressive Era brought steady progress for some Americans and seemed to entrench setbacks and discrimination against other Americans? For whom did the Progressive Era bring progress? For whom did the Progressive Era mark a period of greater discrimination and exclusion?
