Historically, the Progressive Movement grew out of disgust with the Robber Barons of Wall Street in the first decade of the 20th Century. Perhaps the most famous of the founders of the Progressive Movement was Republican Senator Robert LaFollette of Wisconsin.gi.grolier.com Unlike King George, LaFollette was an honest man who cared deeply about this nation and the depredations of Wall Street against the welfare of the citizens of the nation.
