What was the US Progressive Era? Was it really progressive?</h2>
In American politics, the Progressive Era ran from 1890 to 1920. Progressives fought against the political machines that controlled politics in the cities during this time, and they also introduced antitrust laws, the ban of alcohol (on the grounds that it decreased production), women's suffrage, and a general push for "efficiency" everywhere. The social sciences were designed to appear more "scientific." They established a distinct juvenile justice system and passed legislation to strengthen food and water safety.
The disadvantage follows. The Progressives promoted segregation and were huge fans of eugenics. The black populace was disenfranchised throughout the Progressive Era, particularly in the South.
When the majority of the changes they advocated for were implemented, notably National Prohibition, which turned out to be an insufferable folly, the period essentially came to an end. Progressivism lost political ground as a result of this and the 1920s' flourishing economy, however corporate culture's fixation with efficiency persisted throughout this period. Then the Great Depression struck, and the New Deal eventually took over the progressive movement's meme space until the war effort replaced it.
