Amy Austin · Answer 1

The Great depression was called a "depression" because our economy was going downhill after the market crash in 1929. Basically, it has to do with our economy suffering a downturn where almost everyone was struggling economically.

It was called the progressive era because many of the ideas that arose were considered very modern, educated, or progressive.
