What elements of modernity and progress represented nineteenth century goals of liberalism?

Question

What characteristics did nineteenth century liberals consider to be impediments to achieving a modern and "civilized" society?

P.S. I really just need help understanding the questions and what they are asking. If someone could re-word the questions that would be helpful and greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You need to check your book to find how its author defines nineteenth century goals of liberalism. Then find what s/he says about modernity and progress at this time. There should be something about factories and industrial revolution.
