Bull Moose Party

The Bull Moose Party, officially known as the Progressive Party, was founded in 1912 by former President Theodore Roosevelt after he lost the Republican nomination. The party aimed to address social issues, promote political reform, and advance workers' rights. It advocated for women's suffrage, regulation of big business, and environmental conservation. The Bull Moose Party played a significant role in the 1912 presidential election, where Roosevelt ran as its candidate and garnered a significant share of the vote, reflecting a growing desire for progressive change in American politics. The party eventually faded, but it influenced future reform movements.
