  James Madison Center: Teacher Resources: US History Curriculum: Chapter IX
The progressives were strongest in the cities because this is where the conflict took place at the local level.
Progressive connotes progress — thus, to be against the progressives was to be against progress.
The progressives claimed to be "reformers." Reform is usually defined as "making better by removing faults and defects." Yet, a better definition of reform could be "change that benefits those advocating it" (an obvious example of this definition is the abolishment of slavery — to the plantation owner it was not "reform").

 Foreign President of the United States. | Progressive U
So, even naturalized citizens such as myself (born over seas on a United States military base) can run for president once they have spent at least 14 years in the United States and are at least 35 years old.
But, someone having been born overseas and moved to the United States, gained citizenship through all legal means (classes, pledge, etc.) can never run no matter the amount of time they've spent in the United States as a tax-paying legal citizen.
The reason we stick with "jus soli" (rights of the soil, or native birthright) because the child doesn't have a choice of where it is born, weeding out those who come to America for a hidden agenda.

 Religious tendencies in the United States - Amory Dwight Mayo
This growing Christian public opinion, which is uniting and fusing all the progressive elements in every church, is, of course, felt most strongly in those parts of the country where Christian influences have longest prevailed, and society is most homogeneous.
Yet even in the West, especially the North-West, where society is more united under the leading influence of the New-England and New-York mind, the same tendency appears; although Catholicism and copperhead Episcopacy rear their heads in insolent pretension in these cities, and every form of skepticism, even to a scoffing atheism, desolates the land.
America cannot live on a mental or moral philosophy, a science, a sentimentalism, or any thing less mighty and all embracing than a religion; and towards the Christian religion of love to God and man the best mind and heart and hand of the country are tending, beneath the upper conflict of theologies and forms.
