The 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 (and the most
“conservative” candidate, William Howard Taft,
being in many ways a Progressive himself).
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’

2. policies while in office often differ from their
rhetoric on the campaign trail.
To complete this paper, start by analyzing the
primary sources listed below to uncover each
president’s political principles and beliefs.
Compare and contrast the two men’s principles
based on their writings. Drawing from the material
in the textbook, compare each presidents’ political
principles with his actions while in office—how
well did their actions match their rhetoric? Finally,
use JSTOR or Project MUSE to find a scholarly
article of at least fifteen pages in length about the
Progressive politics of Roosevelt or Wilson or
both. What new perspectives does the article offer
on the subject? Does the author’s depiction of
those politics agree with your own interpretation
based on the primary sources?
Draw from the material in the following sources
when writing your paper:
a. Platform of the Progressive party
b. The new nationalism
c. First inaugural address
d. What is progress?

3. The paper must be three to four pages in length
and formatted according to APA style. Cite your
sources within the text of your paper and on the
reference page. For information regarding APA,
