Which issue would not out concern most progressives? apex a. overworked child laborers b. racial segregation in the south c. corruption in city government d. unfair business practices like monopolies

The correct answer is option B.

The issue that wouldn't concern most progressives would be racial segregation in the South.

Explanation

Racial segregation is the separation of access to services, facilities, and opportunities of African Americans from white communities and also applies to general discrimination against them by white communities.

Taking into account that progressives despite unfair business practices such as monopolies, fight corruption and try to vanish child laborers, the fact that there is racial segregation in the South of the US wouldn't concern most progressives.

The correct answer is B.

The Progressive movement, developed during the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, was concerned with the grievances that the rapid industrialization and the economic growth processes had brought: poor and dangerous working conditions (including child labor), corruption in public institutions and business practices that led to the emergence of large corporations that monopolized a whole market and enriched themselves by reducing the welfare of consumers. Consumers had no power to fight against lower quality and more expensive products commercialized by the super powerful monopolies.

This movement had nothing to do with civil right claims, such as the ones made by those movements that were fighting against segregation.
