The major goals of the Progressives were divided into four classifications: social reform, which aimed to address issues like poverty and education; political reform, focused on increasing democratic participation and reducing corruption; economic reform, which sought to regulate monopolies and improve labor conditions; and moral reform, aimed at promoting social morality, such as temperance and women's suffrage. These classifications reflected a comprehensive approach to addressing the challenges of industrialization and urbanization in early 20th-century America.
