Which groups in American society might have opposed Progressive reform? Explain.
Answer (2)
Progressivism in the United States is a broadly-based reform movement that reached its height early in the 20th century and is generally considered to be middle class and reformist in nature. Socialists opposed progressive reform.
During the Progressive Era, opposition arose from various groups including business leaders, conservatives, socialists, rural workers, and immigrant communities. Each group had distinct reasons for their opposition, often based on a perceived threat to their interests or a disagreement with the nature of the proposed reforms. This opposition illustrates the diverse perspectives present in American society at the time.
