The Progressive Party was formed by a merger of the People's Party, a left-wing populist party, and the Christian Progressive League, a group of temperance organizations that supported Prohibition and progressive social reforms. Both parties, while having different goals in some areas, supported reforms to promote social justice and greater political and economic equality. The party rapidly grew, and in 1930, shortly after the beginning of the Great Depression, the party's nominee, Edward Costigan, was elected president. The Costigan administration put in place major economic reforms, including the establishment of Jefferson's welfare state, and championed civil rights.

abstract
  • The Progressive Party was formed by a merger of the People's Party, a left-wing populist party, and the Christian Progressive League, a group of temperance organizations that supported Prohibition and progressive social reforms. Both parties, while having different goals in some areas, supported reforms to promote social justice and greater political and economic equality. The party rapidly grew, and in 1930, shortly after the beginning of the Great Depression, the party's nominee, Edward Costigan, was elected president. The Costigan administration put in place major economic reforms, including the establishment of Jefferson's welfare state, and championed civil rights. The Progressive Party's current platform, adopted at the 2014 Progressive National Convention, includes support for social programs, universal health care, equal opportunity, and environmental protection, along with social liberal policies including legal abortion and same-sex marriage. The party was originally supported by conservative Christian pietists and poor farmers, but, as it grew and developed a more cohesive movement in support of progressive policies, it lost support among many conservatives who supported moralist social policies, and gained support among African-Jeffersonians, and now has a reliable base among youth, African-Jeffersonians, Hispanic-Jeffersonians, and the LGBT community.
