Answer: D. Addressing the negative effects of industrialization
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.
The Townshend Acts, a series of acts passed, beginning in 1767 were the acts that eventually led to the Boston Massacre. Anger over the Townshend Acts led to the occupation of Boston by British troops in 1768, which eventually resulted in the Boston Massacre of 1770.
