1 The Progressive Era: How Progressive Were the Progressives? Teacher s Guide and Lesson Outline Content Standards Addressed: 11.2 Students analyze the relationship among the rise of industrialization, large-scale rural-to-urban migration, and massive immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe. 4. Analyze the effect of urban political machines and responses to them by immigrant and middle- class reformers. 7. Analyze the similarities and differences between the ideologies of Social Darwinism and Social Gospel (e.g., using biographies of William Graham Sumner, Billy Sunday, Dwight L. Moody). 9. Understand the effect of political programs and activities of the Progressives (e.g., federal regulation of railroad transport, Children's Bureau, the Sixteenth Amendment, Theodore Roosevelt, Hiram Johnson). Analysis Standards Addressed: Chronological and Spatial Thinking 1. Students compare the present with the past, evaluating the consequences of past events and decisions and determining the lessons that were learned. (Progressivism Awards Ceremony) 2. Students analyze how change happens at different rates at different times; understand that some aspects can change while others remain the same; and understand that change is complicated and affects not only technology and politics but also values and beliefs. (Progressivism Awards Ceremony) 3. Students use a variety of maps and documents to interpret human movement, including major patterns of domestic and international migration, changing environmental preferences and settlement patterns, the frictions that develop between population groups, and the diffusion of ideas, technological innovations, and goods. (Progressivism Presentations - Environmental Focus) Historical Research, Evidence, and Point of View 3. Students evaluate major debates among historians concerning alternative interpretations of the past, including an analysis of authors' use of evidence and the distinctions between sound generalizations and misleading oversimplifications. (Defining Progressivism, Progressive Awards Ceremony) 4. Students construct and test hypotheses; collect, evaluate, and employ information from multiple primary and secondary sources; and apply it in oral and written presentations. (Progressivism Presentations) 1
2 Historical Interpretation 3. Students interpret past events and issues within the context in which an event unfolded rather than solely in terms of present-day norms and values. (Defining Progressivism, Progressivism Presentations) 5. Students analyze human modifications of landscapes and examine the resulting environmental policy issues. (Progressivism Presentations - Environmental Issues) 2
3 The Lesson 1. Defining Progressive (1 Day) Strategy: Make a Choice, Defend a Choice Students like these exercises because it allows them to critically think without the stress of getting it right. Rarely are there wrong answers as long as students take care to defend their choice. Purpose The purpose of this opener is to show how diverse the Progressives were. It is also intended to display the difficulties that do arise with the label "Progressive." While most people agreed that the reforms in the assignment were Progressive at the time, my guess is that our students will see many of the reforms as NOT progressive. This lesson will also highlight how historical analysis changes over time. 2. Progressivism Biographies Project (3 Days) Strategy: Jigsaw and Choosing an Image Each teacher is familiar with a jigsaw, and this part of the lesson definitely employs this well-worn strategy to cover over thirty Progressive laws. Choosing an Image is the critical thinking portion of this lesson as students are forced to find an image (or create one) which reflects their reform without stating what the reform is. This forces students to ask questions about what makes a good image. Purpose After establishing the tenuous nature of the term Progressive, we will of course jump right in and use the term. Since Progressivism spanned such a huge time frame and covered many different aspects of life, I hope to use a lesson I've called "Progressivism Biographies Project." It will follow the general model: Format a. Divide Progressivism into six (6) categories: Political Reform, Economic Reform, Social Reform, Environmental Reform, Muckrakers, Progressive Personalities. (see project page for a suggested list of progressive reforms and personalities). It is necessary to divide Progressivism into various categories so that students can see how many different areas were affected by progressive laws. It also gives the students an organizational tool. Finally, it is necessary for students to think in these terms so they can complete the final assessment the Progressive Awards Ceremony. b. Give each group (most likely each group will have two members). For each topic the group will: 1. Give background on the person, or problem 2. Discuss the reform 3. Discuss the lasting impact that the person or reform brought (success and failures) c. Students will present their findings in either a PowerPoint or poster presentation (rubric included) 3
4 3. Progressivism Awards Ceremony and other assessments (1 Day) Strategy: History to Present An often-overlooked strategy is what I like to call History to Present. It is the simple act of asking students to find a connection between a historical event and today. Sometimes the connection is vague similar ideas and reactions, sometimes the connection is more concrete the lasting effects of the Cold War. For Progressivism, the connections are sometimes significant, and at other times not. This activity asks students to evaluate the lasting impact of Progressivism. Format a. Teacher will assess students in two ways: 1. Quality of Power Point, posters, and in-class presentations (see project page for grading rubric) 2. Completion of the Progressivism Awards Ceremony a. EACH student must nominate a MOST LASTING IMPACT progressive event/person for each category. b. They must write a paragraph explaining WHY the nomination is being made. c. In addition, students will pick one event to nominate for LEAST LASTING IMPACT (they will have to write a paragraph defending this nomination as well). d. Students will be randomly chosen to explain their nominations. e. If time permits, a tally of nominations will be made and awards will be handed out. 4. Slide/Overhead Picture Identification on Exam (1 Day) Strategy: Slide Identification This strategy allows students more leeway than a multiple-choice exam because it asks them to write about what they DO know. If your identification portion is large enough you will also learn exactly how much students studied and how varied their knowledge is. Format Either cut and paste the power point pictures into a slideshow, or copy poster pictures onto overhead slide. On the exam, show a picture, and ask students to say which Progressive reform, person or idea the picture is representing. Then ask students to defend their choice.. 4
5 Defining Progressivism U.S. History Definitions progressivism (noun) 1. the political orientation of those who favor progress toward better conditions in government and society (http://define.ansme.com/words/p/progressivism.html) progressive (noun) 1. a person believing in moderate political change and social improvement through political action (Merriam-Webster Dictionary) Assignment Using these general definitions, decide whether the following people, ideas or laws fit the definition of Progressive: 1. Jane Addams Jane Addams was anxious to improve the lot of the urban poor, and to assist women and children workers. She started Hull House, one of the first settlement houses in the United States. She appreciate immigrant culture, and offered Italian and German culture evenings at Hull House to "help the foreign-born conserve and keep whatever of value their past life contained and to bring them into contact with a better class of Americans." She helped found the N.A.A.C.P. and was a strong advocate for women s suffrage. Was Jane Addams progressive? (circle one) YES NO Defend your opinion: 2. William Jennings Bryan William Jennings Bryan believed in infallibility of the Bible, and as such defended the state of Tennessee s law which banned the teaching of evolution in schools. Another important cause of Bryan s was prohibition. In crusading against alcohol, Bryan and many of his fellow prohibitionists considered themselves as Progressives engaged in a reform that would eventually engulf the entire world. Bryan thought that prohibition was just a continuation of the struggle against the selfish interests that put private profit above human welfare and fed upon the helplessness of the masses. Was William Jennings Bryan progressive? (circle one) YES NO 5
6 Defend your opinion: 3. Theodore Roosevelt Theodore Roosevelt took the view that the President of the United States, as a "steward of the people", should take whatever action necessary for the public good unless expressly forbidden by law or the Constitution. One of his most famous quotes is I believe in corporations. They are indispensible instruments of our modern civilization; but I believe that they should be so supervised and so regulated that they shall act for the interest of the community as a whole. Some of Theodore Roosevelt's most effective achievements were in conservation. He added enormously to the national forests in the West, reserved lands for public use, and fostered great irrigation projects. Was Theodore Roosevelt progressive? (circle one) YES NO Defend your opinion: 4. Ida B. Wells-Barnett Born a slave, Ida B. Wells-Barnett later became a schoolteacher and after the savage lynching of three of her friends devoted her life to anti-lynching campaigns. She organized a boycott of the Memphis trolley system and later championed an exodus out of Memphis which resulted in several thousand African-Americans leaving. She lectured throughout the North and in Great Britain, and later was one of the founding members of the N.A.A.C.P. Was Ida B. Wells-Barnett progressive? (circle one) YES NO Defend your opinion: 5. Eugenics Eugenics was, quite literally, an effort to breed better human beings by encouraging the reproduction of people with "good" genes and discouraging those with "bad" genes. Eugenicists effectively lobbied for social legislation to keep racial and ethnic groups separate, to restrict immigration from southern and eastern Europe, and to sterilize people considered "genetically unfit." 6
7 Is Eugenics progressive? (circle one) YES NO Defend your opinion: 6. Louis Brandeis Louis Brandeis showed a strong sympathy for the trade union movement and women's rights. This included him working without fees to fight for causes he believed in such as the minimum wage and anti-trust legislation. As a supporter of trade union rights, Brandeis argued that the retailer should make sure that "the goods which he sold were manufactured under conditions which were fair to the workers - fair as to wages, hours of work, and sanitary conditions." He went on to claim that if the business community considered moral issues when producing and selling goods then 'big business' will then mean "business big not in bulk or power but great in service and grand in manner. Big business will then mean professionalized business, as distinguished from the occupation of petty trafficking or more moneymaking." Brandeis was also a strong advocate of individual rights and freedom of speech. Was Louis Brandeis progressive? (circle one) YES NO Defend your opinion: 7. Robert LaFollette Robert LaFollette supported a program of tax reform (higher corporate taxes) to help pay off state debts and fund education, corporation regulation (railroads) and an extension of political democracy (direct primary). As a U.S. Senator, La Follette argued that his main role was to "protect the people" from the "selfish interests". He claimed that the nation's economy was dominated by fewer than 100 industrialists. He went on to argue that these men then used this power to control the political process. La Follette supported the growth of trade unions as he saw them as a check on the power of large corporations. Was Robert LaFollette progressive? (circle one) YES NO Defend your opinion: 7
8 8. Comstock Law, 1873 The law was named after its chief proponent, the anti-obscenity crusader Anthony Comstock. The enforcement of the Act was in its early days often conducted by Comstock himself or through his New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. The Comstock Act is (it is still in effect although in a modified form)a United States federal law that made it illegal to send any "obscene, lewd, and/or lascivious" materials through the mail, including contraceptive devices and information. In addition to banning contraceptives, this act also banned the distribution of information on abortion for educational purposes. Was the Comstock Law progressive? (circle one) YES NO Defend your opinion: 8
9 Teacher Notes The purpose of this assignment is to illustrate to students how slippery the term Progressivism is. While it is a good term to help generalize a rather scattered era of American history, it is important that students understand the flaws of the term. Each of the above people, events, or laws was considered progressive. In addition, not all were consistent in our conception of Progressivism: 1. While the Settlement House movement championed by Jane Addams was indeed a humanitarian effort, it did contain significant religious overtones that students today might find non-compatible with Progressivism (see Jane Addams The Subjective Necessity for Social Settlements, 1892 see 2. William Jennings Bryan was indeed a progressive moralist but he also was a pacifist, and resigned his post of Secretary of State under Woodrow Wilson because his felt that Wilson s decidedly pro-ally tendencies would eventually embroil the U.S. in WWI. In addition, Bryan supported many reforms that have become identified with the Progressive movement tariff reform, control of the trusts, an income tax, direct elections, government rather than private issuance of money, an end to "federal interference" and "government by injunction," and liberalization of the Supreme Court. 3. Theodore Roosevelt is indeed remembered as a trust-buster. He also supported the rights of labor during the Coal Strike of His record as a conservationist and a preservationist is sterling. His foreign policy record, from today s point of view, may not be considered stellar he intervened several times in Latin American and Caribbean countries through his interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine. He endorsed and supported the Panamanian Revolution and hurriedly negotiated a treaty that would allow the U.S. to build the Panama Canal. He was considered by some a warmonger. 4. Louis Brandeis supported Oliver Wendell Holmes majority opinion in the case of Buck vs. Bell which gave constitutional sanction to the sterilization of the feeble-minded. 5. Eugenics wasn t a fringe movement in the U.S. After 1914, course on eugenics were being offered at Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, and Brown. By 1928, 376 different universities had courses in eugenics. A majority of high school textbooks between 1914 and 1948 taught that there was a difference between fit and unfit races and also mentioned that immigration restriction, sterilization, anti-miscegenation laws, and segregation were worthy policies. Studies in eugenics were partially responsible for Congress passage of the National Origins Act of The Comstock Law is still on the books today although in a modified form (do a google search for 18 U.S.C. 1462).

10 The Progressive Era: How Progressive Were Progressives? The period of feverish reform at the local, state and national levels is often referred to as the Progressive Era. While Progressives often had little in common, their main motives seem to have been similar they believed in solving the problems created by industrialism, and they believed in government action. Power Point Format For each Progressive topic your group is assigned you will create THREE PowerPoint slides: a. Title slide. b. The second slide will contain bullet points to describe your Progressive topic: dates (birth, death and significant era of reform for a person, date law passed), what Progressive reform was intended, and its successes and failures. c. The third slide will contain an image that represents your Progressive topic. Your picture could show the problem that needed to be solved, but it could also be an image of it being solved. For any person, I do not simply want a picture of the person it can be a picture of the person engaged in their reform. d. The picture you choose for your power point will be used to make the slide identification portion of the exam. Finding Images for Your Poster or Power Point 1. The image should be large enough to be visible either on a poster or in a power point. 2. The image should not give away the reform. 3. You can doctor images using Microsoft Paint and/or Microsoft Photo Editor 4. Don t worry if you pick similar pictures as other groups (for example 19 th Amendment and Alice Paul might have similar pictures). However, do not use the same image. Presentations o Should be 2-3 minutes in length. o You will need to: take notes on your classmates presentations as preparation for the Progressivism Awards Ceremony get ready for the slide portion of your exam. 10

13 Initiative, Referendum and Recall From the California Constitution, Article II: Voting, Initiative, Referendum and Recall Note: Initiative, recall, and referendum were added to most state constitutions in the early 1900s in California, they were added in The following are excerpts of the California Constitution that detail initiative, referendum, and recall: Article II, Section 8 - Initiative (a) The initiative is the power of the electors (California citizens of voting age) to propose statutes and amendments to the Constitution and to adopt or reject them. (b) An initiative measure may be proposed by presenting to the Secretary of State a petition that sets forth the text of the proposed statute or amendment to the Constitution and is certified to have been signed by electors equal in number to 5 percent in the case of a statute, and 8 percent in the case of an amendment to the Constitution, of the votes for all candidates for Governor at the last gubernatorial election. Recent Example: California Proposition #85, November Waiting Period And Parental Notification Before Termination Of Minor s Pregnancy. Initiative Constitutional Amendment. 1. Amends California Constitution to prohibit abortion for unemancipated minor until 48 hours after physician notifies minor s parent or legal guardian, except in medical emergency or with parental waiver. 2. Permits minor to obtain court order waiving notice based on clear and convincing evidence of minor s maturity or best interests. 3. Mandates various reporting requirements, including reports from physicians regarding abortions performed on minors. 4. Authorizes monetary damages against physicians for violation. 5. Requires minor s consent to abortion, with certain exceptions. 6. Permits judicial relief if minor s consent coerced. Article II, Section 9 - Referendum (a) The referendum is the power of the electors to approve or reject statutes or parts of statutes except urgency statutes, statutes calling elections, and statutes providing for tax levies or appropriations for usual current expenses of the State. (b) A referendum measure may be proposed by presenting to the Secretary of State, within 90 days after the enactment date of the statute, a petition certified to have been signed by electors equal in number to 5 percent of the votes for all candidates for Governor at the last gubernatorial election, asking that the statute or part of it be submitted to the electors. Recent Example: Proposition 1D, November Kindergarten University Public Education Facilities Bond Act Of This ten billion four hundred sixteen million dollar ($10,416,000,000) bond issue will provide needed funding to relieve public school overcrowding and to repair older schools. It will improve earthquake safety and fund vocational educational facilities in public schools. Bond funds must be spent according to strict accountability measures. 13
14 Funds will also be used to repair and upgrade existing public college and university buildings and to build new classrooms to accommodate the growing student enrollment in the California Community Colleges, the University of California, and the California State University. Article II, Section 13 Recall Final Votes Cast By The Legislature On Ab 127 (Became Proposition 1d after the requisite number of signatures was collected) Senate: Ayes 29 Noes 8 Assembly: Ayes 58 Noes 12 (a) Recall is the power of the electors to remove an elective officer. Section 14 Recall Procedures (a) Recall of a state officer is initiated by delivering to the Secretary of State a petition alleging reason for recall. Sufficiency of reason is not reviewable. Proponents have 160 days to file signed petitions. (b) A petition to recall a statewide officer must be signed by electors equal in number to 12 percent of the last vote for the office, with signatures from each of 5 counties equal in number to 1 percent of the last vote for the office in the county. Signatures to recall Senators, members of the Assembly, members of the Board of Equalization, and judges of courts of appeal and trial courts must equal in number 20 percent of the last vote for the office. Recent California Example: Gray Davis Recall, The effort to recall Gray Davis began with Republicans Ted Costa and Howard Kaloogian, who filed the petition with the California Secretary of State and started gathering signatures. The effort was not taken seriously, until Rep. Darrels Issa, who hoped to run as a replacement candidate for governor, donated $2 million towards the effort. This infusion of money allowed Costa and Kaloogian to step up their efforts. For the 2003 recall elections, recall procedures meant that a minimum of 900,000 signatures, based on the November 2002 statewide elections needed to be collected.eventually, about 1.6 million signatures were gathered, which was enough to trigger a recall.

16 Keating Owen Act Similar to Muller v. Oregon, the Keating Owen Act revealed the government trying to support business regulations. Where the Muller decision sought to support limited working hours for women, the Keating Owen Act sought to limit child labor in the United States. The 1900 census revealed that approximately 2 million children were working in mills, mines, fields, factories, stores, and on city streets across the United States. The census report helped spark a national movement to end child labor in the United States. In 1908, the National Child Labor Committee hired Lewis Hine as its staff photographer and sent him across the country to photograph and report on child labor. Social reformers began to condemn child labor because of its detrimental effect on the health and welfare of children. Among those helping to incite public opinion against it were Karl Marx and Charles Dickens, who had worked at a factory himself at age 12. One of the most effective attacks came from Dickens's novel Oliver Twist, which was widely read in Britain and the United States. Dickens s masterwork portrays an orphan boy, raised in poorhouses and workhouses and by street criminals in industrialized London in the 1850s. The first child labor bill, the Keating-Owen bill of 1916, was based on Senator Albert J. Beveridge's proposal from 1906 and used the government's ability to regulate interstate commerce to regulate child labor. The act banned the sale of products from any factory, shop, or cannery that employed children under the age of 14, from any mine that employed children under the age of 16, and from any facility that had children under the age of 16 work at night or for more than 8 hours during the day. Although the Keating-Owen Act was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson, the Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional because it overstepped the purpose of the government's powers to regulate interstate commerce (Hammer v. Dagenhart). The Court reasoned that The power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce does not extend to curbing the power of the states to regulate local trade. A constitutional amendment was soon proposed to give Congress the power to regulate child labor. The campaign for ratification of the Child Labor Amendment was stalled in the 1920s by an effective campaign to discredit it. Opponents' charges ranged from traditional states' rights arguments against increases in the power of the Federal Government to accusations that the amendment was a communist-inspired plot to subvert the Constitution. Federal protection of children would not be obtained until passage of the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938, which was also challenged before the Supreme Court (found constitutional in 1941 in U.S. v. Darby; the court stated that Congress should determine the legitimate scope of commerce) Source: OurDocuments.gov, "Keating-Owen Child Labor Act of

18 Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 The muckrakers and The Jungle had successfully heightened public awareness of safety issues stemming from careless meat packing industry. This led to a battle to regulate food preparation and medicines. In part this was due to the increasing incidence of drug addiction from patent medicines, both accidental and conscious. Public pressure forced a reluctant Congress to consider a Pure Food and Drug bill in Provisions of the measure included the following: Creation of the Food and Drug Administration, which was entrusted with the responsibility of testing all foods and drugs destined for human consumption The requirement for prescriptions from licensed physicians before a patient could purchase certain drugs The requirement of label warnings on habit-forming drugs (like medicines containing cocaine). The first casualty of this legislation was the patent medicine industry; few of which gained certification from the FDA. Those that did often advertised their product as Approved by the Pure Food and Drug Act. The law was strengthened in 1911 when additional provisions were added to combat fraudulent labeling.

19 Clayton Anti-Trust Act By the turn of the twentieth century, the national leadership of the American labor movement had abandoned politics in favor of pure and simple trade unionism. But the federal courts, wielding the nation s antitrust law, soon drove labor back into national politics. The injunction against the Pullman Railway boycott, upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in In Re Debs (1895), was followed by a series of judicial decrees that used the Sherman Antitrust Act to outlaw strikes and boycotts. The unanimous Court in that case seemed to condemn not only secondary boycotts (an off-site strike; one not directly associated with the company), but the very goal of industry wide collective bargaining. The American Federation of Labor (AFL) campaign for immunity from the antitrust laws and repeal of the federal courts equity jurisdiction to issue anti-strike and anti-boycott decrees. In 1912 the election of Woodrow Wilson and of a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives combined with the revolt of insurgent Republicans to open the door to reform. When Wilson signed the Clayton Act in 1914, the AFL chief Samuel Gompers hailed its labor provisions as the the Magma Carta of organized labor. These provisions included 1. Section 6, which declared that labor is not a commodity or article of commerce and that [n]othing contained in the anti-trust laws.forbid[s] the existence and operations of labor organizations ; 2. Section 20, which outlawed injunctions in labor disputes except where necessary to prevent irreparable injury to property or to a property right. 3. Section 20 also listed ten peaceful and lawful labor activities (including strikes and boycotts) that injunctions could not forbid; Due to somewhat vague language with regard to labor, Congress largely left the power to define labor s freedom with the courts. And given the composition of the Supreme Court then, the outcome was fairly predictable. In 1921, the Court held in Duplex Printing Press Co. v. Deering that the act had neither legalized peaceful secondary boycotts nor immunized them from injunctions. Due to these Supreme Court decisions it became clear that labor needed a clearer, stronger pronouncement on the part of Congress. This would come later during the New Deal; Sources: International Longshoreman's Association, "Clayton Anti-Trust Act" St. Olaf College, "The Clayton Act". 19
