The United States had been constantly growing before the Progressive Era due to the industrialization and constant immigration, which eventually lead to the widespread of urbanization and industrial monopolies. The impact of the government in the country´s growth was clearly focused to stop the unplanned urbanization that was affecting all major cities, and the notorious corruption that had emerged from representatives in office.  

This era saw the prohibition of alcoholic beverages and the uprising of the women´s right to vote.  Both causes were the result of an intended reform in the political life of the time. The prohibition of alcohol was to demolish the increasing power of local gangsters that were functioning as a monopoly. And the women´s suffrage was the result of an eager desire of the women to come into the political arena. All of this was propelled by the Efficiency Movement that was in charge of modernizing old ways using scientific management; movement that became known as “Taylorism”, in name of <em>Frederick Winslow Taylor</em> (1856-1915), an American mechanical engineer whose ideas were influential in paving the way for the Progressive Era (1890-1920).

2. President Clinton

3. The First Red Scare's immediate cause was the increase in subversive actions of foreign and leftist elements in the United States, especially militant followers of Luigi Galleani, and in the attempts of the U.S. government to quell protest and gain favorable public views of America's entering World War I. A period in the United States history when everyone was so caught up in containment of communism, and investigated people within their community for communism. Even people in the government were suspected of being communist spies.

4. Women who remained in the workplace were usually demoted. But after their selfless efforts during World War II, men could no longer claim superiority over women. Women had enjoyed and even thrived on a taste of financial and personal freedom - and many wanted more.

5. As farmers produced more produce using their new machines the price of their crops dropped. This was caused by producing more food than was needed by the population. This surplus of food was called 'overproduction'.

6. Generally, groups such as farmers, black Americans, immigrants and the older industries did not enjoy the prosperity of the Roaring 20s.

7. Chicago Race Riot of 1919, most severe of approximately 25 race riots throughout the U.S. in the “Red Summer” (meaning “bloody”) following World War I; a manifestation of racial frictions intensified by large-scale African American migration to the North, industrial labour competition, overcrowding in urban ghettos, and greater militancy among Black war veterans who had fought “to preserve democracy.” In the South revived Ku Klux Klan activities resulted in 64 lynchings in 1918 and 83 in 1919; race riots broke out in Washington, D.C.; Knoxville, Tennessee; Longview, Texas; and Phillips county, Arkansas. In the North the worst race riots erupted in Chicago and in Omaha, Nebraska.
