Progressive Leaders The Platforms And Policies of America's Reform Politicians

Students will gain an understanding and appreciation of the most important people who defined the Progressive Era: "the Great Commoner" William Jennings Bryan, Senator Robert La Follete and his liberal politics, Theodore Roosevelt and his Square Deal Policy, and Woodrow Wilson and the establishment of the Federal Trade Commission. This title will reinforce one view that the progressive accomplishments left a positive impact on society, while the other view is that they gave too much power and responsibility to government.Sakany, Lois is the author of 'Progressive Leaders The Platforms And Policies of America's Reform Politicians', published 2006 under ISBN 9781404201934 and ISBN 1404201939.
