Common misconceptions
- Treating 19th Amendment 1920 as universal suffrage — Black women were effectively excluded in the South until VRA 1965 per Crenshaw 1989 + NACW historians
- Treating muckrakers as neutral journalism — they were advocacy journalism with specific reform agendas
- Treating Progressive Era as uniformly progressive — Wilson re-segregated federal workforce 1913 + Plessy 1896 stood; Indigenous + Asian American + Black Americans largely excluded
