Reconstruction through the early twentieth century was a time of contradictions for many Americans. Agricultural expansion was accomplished through wars against the Plains Indians, leading to new federal Indian policies.

Social problems in rural and urban settings gave rise to third-party movements and the beginning of the Progressive Movement.
