In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 7 Topic 4 of the AP U.S. History curriculum which is set in period 7 (1898-1945).

The Progressive Era was essentially a reaction against the laissez-faire policies of the Gilded Age. Prior to the Progressive Era, the government was largely hands off with respect to business and social reform, but the Progressives believed that the best way to cure societal ills was with the intervention of a vigorous government.

Progressives sought to correct all manner of societal abuses such as disputes between labor and capital, abuse of alcohol, women's suffrage, Jim Crow segregation in the South, and many others.

Through their efforts they were able to get three constitutional amendments passed: the 17th amendment (direct election of senators), the 18th amendment (Prohibition), and the 19th amendment (women's suffrage).

All the content in this video corresponds to Unit 7 Topic 4 of the AP U.S. History Curriculum (CED) and all the key concepts thereunto appertaining.
