About The Progressive Era
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
The page is mostly mind maps, with flashcard decks, quizzes, notes, flowcharts and slide sets alongside them. The top mind map, Progressive Era, sets the period as 1890-1920 and looks at working conditions: efficiency, safety standards, child labour, workmen's compensation, minimum wages and working hours.
Other maps focus on people. One names Theodore Roosevelt, Upton Sinclair, Jane Addams, Jacob Riis, Alice Paul, John Muir, Gifford Pinchot and Booker T. Washington, plus Hull House, the NAACP and Tuskegee Institute. Another covers the women's suffrage issue after the 15th Amendment.
Where to start
- Open the Progressive Era mind map for the big picture.
- Read the maps on Theodore Roosevelt 1904-1908, William Howard Taft 1908-1912 and Woodrow Wilson 1912-1921 to follow the presidents in order.
- Move to the flashcard deck Progressive Movement and Imperialism, which lists muckrakers such as Lincoln Steffens and Ida Tarbell, the 16th to 19th Amendments and the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first, then take a quiz without looking. The quiz US History 2 AP Chapter 21 (The Rise of Progressivism) Review asks who the progressives and muckrakers were, what the social gospel was, and who settlement houses helped. The follow-up, US History 2 AP Chapter 22 pt. 1 review, turns to Roosevelt's Square Deal, the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Anthracite Coal Strike.
Wherever you get a question wrong, go back to the matching map branch and reread it. There is also a quiz on progressive social critics from 1890 to 1916 that tests which targets were not criticised, a useful check on detail.
Where this unit sits
The Progressive Era is a unit in the strand The Americas, within History. Resources are written by GoConqr users and vary in style, so compare a few on the same point. Many are labelled with the AP US History course, and some mention A-level History or GCSE History.
When you're ready, choose one map, try a quiz on the same theme and see what sticks.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map called Progressive Era, which sets out the period as 1890-1920 and begins with working conditions such as child labour, safety standards and working hours. It gives you a frame to hang the rest on. After that, choose a quiz on the same themes.
Which quizzes cover Roosevelt and progressivism?
The quiz US History 2 AP Chapter 22 pt. 1 review asks about the Square Deal, the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Anthracite Coal Strike. The quiz 28 Progressivism and the Republican Roosevelt tests what progressive social critics targeted between 1890 and 1916.
What do the mind maps on this page cover?
They cover working conditions, key reformers like Jane Addams and Upton Sinclair, women's suffrage, big business and mass immigration. Several follow the presidencies of Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson, so you can trace how progressivism changed across the period.
Are these resources free, and who made them?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so styles differ. A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own materials.
Which exams and levels do they suit?
Almost all the resources are at secondary level, so they suit school students, and teachers can use them as ready-made material. The listed resources mention AP US History, A-level History and GCSE History, though you should check each one against your own course.
What if I can't find a topic I need?
Try the flashcard decks and notes, which break the period into terms, people and chapters. If a subject is still missing, you can build your own mind map or flashcards on it, then use them alongside the community resources here.
