Progressive Era "Acts"

8. Progressive Era Foreign Policy Acts:

Panama Canal Tolls Act, 1912:
Wilson repealed this act. It extempted American coastwise shipping from tolls and thereby provoked sharp protests from demaged Britain.


Jones Act of 1916:
With this Act Wilson got further in the anti-imperial ideals of Bryan. It granted to the Phillipines the boon of territorial status and promised independence as soon as a "stable government" could be established.
