Answer: While the 1920s was a period of reaction against reform, progressivism did not completely disappear. Reformers pressed for a constitutional amendment to end child labor, and Congress passed the Sheppard-Towner Maternity Act in an attempt to reduce infant mortality in the United States, although the act was repealed in 1929. Reformers also succeeded in passage of the Eighteenth Amendment, prohibiting the manufacture and consumption of alcohol, which unfortunately encouraged lawlessness and the development of organized crime.
