1. Yes, you are correct. The progressive movement was a reform movement that sought to move society forward by improving it. This included seeking reforms in various areas such as politics, economics, social issues, and labor rights.
2. You are partially correct. The main goals of progressivism were indeed to improve society and industry practices. However, your second choice, "to improve labor laws," is also correct. Progressives aimed to advocate for better working conditions, fair wages, and improved rights for workers. Your last choice, "to improve farming," is not one of the main goals of progressivism.
3. No, your answer is incorrect. The previous political movement that influenced progressivism was populism. Populism emerged in the late 19th century and focused on representing the interests of the common people against the elite and advocating for economic and political reforms. Reconstructionism, on the other hand, refers to the period following the American Civil War when the Union government sought to rebuild the Southern states and address the issues of slavery and racial inequality.
I'm sorry, Xena. Your first choices for #2 are right. I do apologize.
But #3, you're still wrong. Populism and progressivism were separate movements at roughly the same time. They did have some goals in common. The populists emphasized farmers and poor rural people, mostly. Progressives also wanted to make life better for average people, but not just farmers. The populists did influence progressives in that both pitted the average family or person against the big financial interests of the day.
