There's a lot of overlap between 19th century progressivism and 19th century liberalism, both were big fans of social darwinism.
WW campaigned on compulsory sterilization & signed a bill that did it in NJ. He wrote for Harper's, kept black people out of Princeton when he was president there, and he segregated the civil service once he became president. He told Ho Chi Minh to fuck off at Versailles.

also white supremacist/shovenist and eugenicist
Woodrow Wilson is the ur-progressive

Robert Lafollette would be more like the ur-progressive right?
