How successful were progressive reforms during the period of 1890 to 1915?

In: History, Politics & Society [Edit categories]

Answer:

A.P U.S History?
Yeah, im doing the same question right now. All i got so far was this:

Yes, the reforms were successful in terms of industrial conditions. Examples of this: Creation of strong labor unions such as The Knights of Labor and the America along with Federation of Labor. These unions pushed for higher minimum wages and pay and shorter work days. Also, to rid of child labor.

For Urban life improvements, i didnt develop an argument yet but i have these ideas that were successful: The Hull House, Public Education, Crime, Pollution and theres a whole lot more but im working on it now.

Sorry but that's all i have:(

In addition, the Conserative reforms of Teddy Roosevelt and Taft. TR added the Yellow Stone National Park to a protective reserve. Taft built off of these ideas with more parks being made into reserves.
