=**Issues of the Chapter Web Quest**=


 * Task:** All points of view are rarely covered in modern history textbooks. Authors tend to condense information due to allotted space. Also, many of the modern textbooks are written by authors with Progressive beliefs and therefore cite more Progressive sources. Progressivism in this chapter focused on its beginnings as America worked to reform some of society's problems. Keep in mind, some of the roots in Progressivism saw science as the answer and even if all Progressives weren't socialists (some were as you've learned), Progressivism does view social justice as redistribution of wealth. It's important as a student of history to understand that there are two sides to issues and decisions. Most texts lean towards a Progressive view. This web quest will provide you with the other side of the story to the several topics of this chapter.
