> The Third Great Awakening (Second Turning, 1886-1908), began with the
> Haymarket Riot and the student missionary movement, rose with agrarian
> protest and labor violence, and climaxed in Bryan’s revivalist
> candidacy (in 1896). Gilded Age realism came under harsh attack from
> trust-blasting muckrakers, Billy Sunday evangelicals, “new woman”
> feminists, and chautauqua dreamers. After radicalizing and splitting
> the Progressive movement, the passion cooled when William Howard Taft
> succeeded Teddy Roosevelt in the White House.
