Tell me who you are referring to when you are discussing "early" progressives.
Wilson, some of the none politician Social Darwinist who influenced political society.
Can't remember all their names off the top of my head.
During the Gilded Era and somewhat afterwards a lot of self described progressives were borderline fascists.
Even ole Teddy believed in some of morally offensive stuff, like eugenics iirc.
Edit:
Note I do not believe that even a simple majority of modern progressives hold any of these things, she asked when it was started.
I offered my answer from the early time in America, when it began, in my opinion of course.
