Explanation:

The era of Progressivism, which began in the second part of the 19th century, continued into the twentieth century. During that period, many problems that were current in American society were tried to be solved. The industrialization has brought with it some negative phenomena such as child labor and poor conditions for workers. These are some of the problems that have been sought to be addressed. The period was also characterized as the fight against corruption. The government has dealt with corrupt individuals and groups in government itself but also in industry. There were many corrupt industrialists and their assistants who put workers in a difficult position for their interests.
