How did progressive reformes attempt to bring "more democracy" to American society and goverment? In what areas were their reforms most successful in what areas did they fail?​

Answer 1

Answer: Progressive era 1890 to 1920.

Explanation:

This period of 30 years in American history is known as the progressive era. It is a period in which the democratization of American society has been raised to a higher level. Proclaimers of progressive ideas sought to eliminate corruption in government and industry. Often, industry and government were at odds over certain criminal acts that the progressives sought to remove. The progressive era is a period of struggle for a better position and workers' rights in the United States. It is also a period in which women gain the right to vote in the country. Political corruption led to the enrichment of individuals at the expense of workers, which the progressives largely stopped. The failure in the field of democratization of society by progressives lies in the fact that it was a period of increasing racial segregation and establishing the Ku Klax Klan.
