Examples of Progressive Era accomplishments include the following EXCEPT

Question

Department of Commerce and Labor
Pure Food and Drug Act
Meat Inspection Act
National Park Service
13th Amendment

Answer 1

The 13th Amendment is the correct answer, as it is not an accomplishment of the Progressive Era. The 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery in the United States, was ratified in 1865, well before the Progressive Era, which is generally considered to have taken place from the 1890s to the 1920s. The other options listed—Department of Commerce and Labor, Pure Food and Drug Act, Meat Inspection Act, and National Park Service—are indeed accomplishments of the Progressive Era.
