That retarded War also firmly fixed Wilson era progressive politics into American life.
“That retarded War also firmly fixed Wilson era progressive politics into American life.”
Teddy Roosevelt was a progressive a decade before Wilson. And not just a progressive Republican, of which there were many- he ran for President on the Progressive Party ticket in 1912, spoiling the reelection of Taft and guaranteeing a Wilson victory.
A large number of Teddy Roosevelt progressive Republicans ended up supporting his cousin FDR and even joined his administration.
