Progressives-Muckrakers+(1-2)

Tried to Reform

One of the things that muckrakers they tried to reform were sweatshops. Sweatshops had a very dangerous working environment. This included very high temperatures, hazardous materials, and even abuse from their bosses. The muckrakers posted things about this in newspapers, and magazines to let people know about it.

Criticized

Some of the things that the muckrakers failed to criticize are African American rights. African Americans were often not paid at all for their work. The muckrakers did not criticize this because the civil rights movement was did not take place for another forty or fifty years.
