The Progressive Party was a party created by Theodore Roosevelt in 1912. When he didn't receive the support of the Republican party for the presidential election, and William Taft was supported instead, Roosevelt formed his own party, the Progressive Party. It was mostly made up of Republicans who supported Roosevelt over Taft.
Although he was the handpicked successor to President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908, Taft soon angered many progressives in the Republican party with his conservative policies. This included Roosevelt, who formed his own Progressive party (aka Bull Moose Party) to run against Taft in 1912. With half of the Republicans voting for Taft and half for Roosevelt, Democratic candidate Woodrow Wilson won 40 states.
Roosevelt's public criticism of Taft can be seen as justified due to Taft's departure from progressive reforms that Roosevelt had championed. Taft's administration reversed several key policies, such as tariff reductions and conservation efforts, which angered many progressives. Additionally, Taft's handling of the controversial Ballinger-Pinchot affair alienated environmentalists and those who supported Roosevelt's vision. Thus, Roosevelt's criticism reflected a genuine concern for the direction of the Republican Party and the progressive movement.
William Howard Taft's reputation as a progressive was significantly tarnished when he signed the Payne-Aldrich Tariff in 1909, which raised tariffs rather than lowering them as many progressives had hoped. This move alienated many reform-minded Republicans and led to a split in the party, as it was perceived as a betrayal of the progressive ideals championed by his predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt. Additionally, Taft's support for the tariff undermined his credibility as a champion of progressive reform, causing many to view him as more aligned with conservative interests.
Two actions by President William Howard Taft that angered Theodore Roosevelt were Taft's decision to support the Payne-Aldrich Tariff, which raised tariffs instead of lowering them as Roosevelt had advocated, and his dismissal of Gifford Pinchot, the head of the U.S. Forest Service, over a dispute regarding conservation policies. These actions signaled a departure from Roosevelt's progressive agenda and contributed to a rift between the two former allies.
At the 1912 election, Theodore Roosevelt was unhappy with Taft's policies so he formed his own political party called the Progressive Party. The votes for the Progressives and the Votes for the Republicans combined would have ensured the Republicans would have won, but the Democrats had the most electoral votes, so they won.
