time of excess for many. People pretended to be rich
when they were living on credit and in debt.
Prohibition (alcohol outlawed) led to the rise of
gangsters and the Mafia, and women were
experiencing new freedom. Listen for these themes in
the music of the era. (1920-1929)

of the Progressive
Era using primary

Participation: Follow along
and answer questions when
asked.
The Progressive Spirit
 Across the nation at this time,
reformers were dedicated to
cleaner, safer, more progressive
living conditions.
 Safe food was one concern that
was addressed by reformers in
Utah.
 Progressives also wanted to
reform labor laws to prevent
women and children from working
in unsafe conditions.
 They also wanted minimum
wages, shorter working days, and
compensation for workers who
were injured at their jobs.
 Tax reform, political reform,
education for everyone including
those with disabilities are
examples of reform efforts.
Mining Brings Progress & Problems
 Mining was one of the most
important industries in Utah in the
early 1900s.
 Samuel Newhouse and Daniel
Jackling and others purchased
claims in Bingham canyon, and set
up a smelter there.
 Jackling developed an open-pit
method for removing ore.
 As mining increased, miners began
to organize to get better wages.
 The Scofield Mining Disaster in
1900 caused sympathy among
many in Utah, which helped mining
labor unions achieve their goals.
 Several strikes occurred during
these years in Utah and
sometimes were violent.
Reclamation & National Forests,
Parks, and Monuments
 Land and water were also important issues
for reformers.
 Utahns began to construct dams and
reservoirs to store water.
 Albert Potter was an official of the government
who studied land use and watersheds in Utah.
 His survey resulted in a forest management
program.
 Another way the government protected natural
land was through national parks and
monuments.
 The first national monument in Utah was Natural
Bridges in 1908.
 Utah’s first national park was Zion in 1918.
 Magazines, like National Geographic, made
tourism to Utah grow greatly.
 Today there is a lot of controversy over the use
of public lands. How do you think they should
be saved or used?
Discrimination
 Discrimination and prejudice was common in Utah

and the United States at this time.
African Americans, in particular, were singled out
as targets.
Laws (called Black Codes or Jim Crow laws)
restricted African Americans and limited their
freedom, took away Constitutional rights, and
segregated them from white society.
To help end discrimination, Utah’s African
American community established a chapter of the
N.A.A.C.P. in SLC in 1919.
But around 1921, a branch of the Ku Klux Klan
was organized in Utah.
 They were prejudiced against anyone who was not
a white Protestant, and would intimidate minorities
(including Catholics, Jews, immigrants).
 Sometimes they did more than scare their victims.
In 1925 the Klan lynched Robert Marshall, a black
man in Utah. The murderers were never brought to
justice.
New Communities on Tribal Lands
 At the end of the 1800s Congress gave into
pressure from whites to open reservation land to
settlement.
 Congress passed the Dawes General Allotment Act,
which dissolved Native American reservations and
gave each Indian family 160 acres of land.
 The land not given to Indians could be settled on by
non-Indians.
 The White River and Uintah Utes lost 2/3 of their
reservation lands.
 Duchesne County was made up almost entirely of
Uintah reservation land.
 Although whites at the time justified this as a way to
“Americanize” Indians, it caused tribes in Utah and
other places many problems. Eventually, the
reservations were reinstated, but the land taken was
not given back.
 This had a negative impact on Native unity, selfgovernment, and culture, and also caused anger,
resentment, and distrust.
