The Progressive Movement in Wisconsin
The Progressive Era in Wisconsin in the early 20th century resulted in a number of major political reforms: factory conditions in the state were made safer, one of the first workers’ compensation programs in the nation was instituted, a state income tax was established, primary elections were put in the hands of voters rather than party bosses, and Wisconsin’s state parks system was founded. This lecture provides a review of the Progressive Movement in Wisconsin. Attention is also given to how the current politics of the state have shifted from this important historical time period.
