The Progressive Era was a period of widespread social activism and political reform across the United States, from the 1890s to the 1920s.The main objectives of the Progressive movement were eliminating problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and corruption in government.
The movement primarily targeted political machines and their bosses. By taking down these corrupt representatives in office a further means of direct democracy would be established. They also sought regulation of monopolies (Trust Busting) and corporations through antitrust laws. These antitrust laws were seen as a way to promote equal competition for the advantage of legitimate competitors.
America was founded by immigrants, I believe immigrants have a right to be here and have the freedoms we do as long as they do so LEGALLY
