A third party in the late 1800s whose ideas were taken over by the major political parties and accepted by many Americans was the?
Known as the "Bull Moose Party" but formally the "Progressive Party," was formed by former-president Teddy Roosevelt when he was frozen out of the Republican presidential nomination in 1912. The platform's main theme was reversing the domination of politics by big business, which they claimed controlled the Republicans' and Democrats' parties, alike. The Progressive's platform called for:
- Strict limits and disclosure requirements on political campaign contributions
- Registration of lobbyists
- Recording and publication of all Congressional committee proceedings
- A National Health Service to include all existing government medical agencies.
- Social Insurance to provide for the elderly, the unemployed, and the disabled
- A minimum wage for women
- An eight-hour workday
- A federal securities department
- Farm relief
- Worker's compensation for work-related injuries
- An inheritance tax
- A Constitutional amendment to allow a Federal income tax
Social Security, the Securities & Exchange Commission, Workman's comp, and a national minimum wage are a few of the platform issues that are in effect today.

What group did white southerners form to help them regain power over African Americans?
Following Reconstruction, there were three main organized groups among white southerners who did not believe in racial equality. The Redeemer political parties of 'Conservatives' or 'Democrats' sought to legally take control of state and local governments for pre-Civil War ruling social groups. They used first "Jim Crow" laws, then state Courts and Constitutional Conventions to remove the social, economic and political progress African-Americans had attained during Reconstruction. The Ku Klux Klan was dedicated to white supremacy over African-Americans. They used terror tactics including lynching to enforce a racial caste system. They were condemned by African-American writers such as Ida B. Wells. The White Leagues were short lived associations of political assassination in the late 1800s. They targeted Republicans, white and black, who were candidates, party organizers, and poll workers in an effort to remove effective political representation and advocacy for African-Americans in state and local government.
