The period between 1890 and 1937 has been called America’s “Age of Reform.” This intermediate-level course focuses on three key moments in this critical period in American History: the Populist Uprising of the late 19th century; the early-20th century Progressive Movement; and the New Deal of the 1930s. Topics include woman suffrage, economic reform, temperance and prohibition, agricultural reform, the income tax, liberalism, conservatism, and the growth of the national state. Michelmore.
