Changes

The early progressives rejected [[Social Darwinism]]. In other words, they were people who believed that the problems society faced ([[poverty]], [[violence]], [[greed]], [[racism]], [[class warfare]]) could best be addressed by providing good education, a safe environment, and an efficient [[workplace]]. Progressives lived mainly in the cities, were [[college]] educated, and believed that [[government]] could be a tool for change. [http://www.nps.gov/archive/elro/glossary/progressive-era.htm]
