Question and answer
What was the stereotype of progressives in the US during the late 19th century?
In nineteenth century America, racial progressivism involved fighting mainstream cultural stereotypes and working towards racial equality. [ During this period "most whites believed that blacks were innately inferior, that racial antagonism could not be overcome, and that blacks, at best, must remain a subservient group in white society."[3] These stereotypes of racial inferiority represent what the progressive element of the nineteenth century was battling against. Even among the progressives, there was a wide range of values, as Altschuler writes: Many progressives shared the belief
that social conditions and not biology bred poverty and ignorance, and that government had a duty to protect citizens against the oppressive environment. A far smaller number of these reformers asserted that truly equal opportunity would give the lie to the myth of innate black inferiorit ]
