The Progressive era in American history saw significant reforms in three key areas: Temperance (alcohol), Women's Rights, and Civil Rights. Various laws, organizations, and individuals played crucial roles in driving these reforms, such as the 18th Amendment, the National Woman's Party, the 19th Amendment, Booker T. Washington, Ida B. Wells, and the NAACP. The movement for Women's Suffrage, challenges faced by African Americans, and discriminatory practices like grandfather clauses were also notable aspects of this period.
