Was Mark Twain a progressive

Answer 1

Yes. He was also into women's rights. He wanted to see them working in politics. "I know that since the women started out on their crusade they have scored in every project they undertook against unjust laws. I would like to see them help make the laws and those who are to enforce them. I would like to see the whiplash in women's hands." Mark Twain.

He also felt that blacks should be equal to whites and be given compensation.

Answer 2

I think so. He definitely aimed to humanize African-Americans once again in his book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and in the same book, the father of Huck is a raging, abusive alcoholic. As the Temperance Movement started picking up in the 1820s, and the narrative was set in the 1840s, Twain may have been siding with the progressive women of that movement, who tried to prevent domestic view.

Twain aimed to expand social equality and justice.

Answer 3

Yes, Mark Twain was considered a progressive thinker for his time. He was known for his liberal views on race, Imperialism, and social inequality, as evident in his writings. Twain often used satire and humor to critique societal norms and challenge established institutions.
