They viewed the conflict as serving the interests of powerful elites rather than the common good. Additionally, progressives were concerned about the war's impact on civil liberties, as they feared that government actions could suppress dissent and curtail freedoms. This opposition was rooted in a broader commitment to social justice and peace.

Additionally, the tariff did not address the needs of the working class and small businesses, further alienating progressives who sought to challenge the interests of big corporations. The perceived failure to enact meaningful reform fueled discontent within the progressive movement.
