The Muckrakers pointed out many of the problems that were plaguing American society. They played a very important part in the progressive movement by bringing attention to the widespread social problems and corruption that had been swept under the rug for a long time. The Progressive movement worked to promote honesty in government and business and stressed the need for greater social justice. They sought to regulate businesses when needed and committed to public service.
