Inside the Progressive Era
The Progressive Era spans 6 presidential elections, 1896–1916. The atlas frames it this way — Trust-busting, suffrage, and World War I.
The Republican party won 4 of the 6 contests, more than any other party in the era. It opens with the 1896 election (William McKinley) and closes with 1916 (Woodrow Wilson). A pivotal cycle was 1896 — Industrial America chooses a direction.
