Description
This page, from American Memory at the Library of Congress, focuses on significant events in American history and culture associated with June 22. On this day in 1912, former President Theodore Roosevelt asked his supporters to leave the floor of the Republican National Convention in Chicago, creating a new Progressive Party in American politics. Although it failed to establish itself as a viable third party, the ensuing elections inaugurated unprecedented efforts at social and governmental reform.
