Explanation:

1. Progressivism Definition: A late 19th-early 20th century U.S. reform movement focused on addressing social, economic, and political injustices caused by industrialization, urbanization, and political corruption, aiming to improve society through government action and grassroots organizing.
2. Social Welfare (Progressive Era): Refers to efforts to support vulnerable groups, including establishing settlement houses for urban immigrants, creating public relief programs for the poor, and expanding public services like sanitation and public health initiatives to improve living conditions in overcrowded cities.
3. Urban Immorality Issues: Progressives targeted issues like alcohol abuse (leading to the temperance movement and Prohibition), prostitution, gambling, and political corruption in city machines, framing these as threats to public order and moral values.
4. Race Reform (Progressive Era): Most white progressives upheld racial segregation and focused on "uplift" for Black Americans through education (often segregated) rather than challenging Jim Crow; a small number pushed for anti-lynching laws and voting rights protections, but these efforts were largely marginalized.
