Progressives were a group held together by the idea that industrialization was corrupting society and the country needed to reform to meet the needs of the new modern society.
The groups known as the Progressives included suffragettes, social reformers, temperance movement, conservationists, and unions. These groups attempted to reform the government to get rid of corruption and to obtain regulation on businesses. They also attempted to reform immigrants and the idea of American identity to bring the values of Protestant founders. Suffragettes fought to gain rights for women, in particular the right to vote. This movement was behind the passage of four amendments and many new laws.
