T
he Progressive Presidents
The presidential election of 1912 was the most Progressive in
US history, with the two frontrunners, Theodore Roosevelt and
Woodrow Wilson, both espousing Progressive philosophies.
Although both Wilson and Roosevelt were Progressive, their
attitudes toward Progressivism differed, at least in theory. This
paper will provide an opportunity to review the complex nature
of Progressivism, and to explore how presidents’ policies while
in office often differ from their rhetoric on the campaign trail.
Using the primary sources below,
compare and contrast
the two men’s principles based on their writings, and then,
using the textbook and at least one secondary source from the
library’s JSTOR or Project MUSE databases,
compare
each presidents’ political principles with his actions while in
office—how well did their actions match their rhetoric?

AT LEAST ONE
