Question

What attitudes did most Progressives hold about minorities and immigrant groups?

Answer 1

They were more likely to help immigrants than minorities.

Explanation:

Progressive reformers were often urban white middle class citizens, such as Jane Addams and Upton Sinclair. Many urban problems were centered around immigrants, such as pollution and the over-crowding of tenement houses. Unfortunately, minorities such as African-Americans did not get any help during the Progressive era, so it can be inferred that their issues were not thought to be as important. Several progressive reformers were women, but women's suffrage was not a key issue at the time.
