Answer 2

I have heard of Golden Ages, and I have heard of the so-called "white man's burden." I have never heard of a "progressive era" in any context. None of them remotely suggests an historical epoch (as Medieval, Renaissance, Elizabethan and Victorian do), and all are heavily value-laden. My school days are long behind me.  I have heard that much schooling is little more than a left-wing boot camp.  Your question gives me the first hint that that rumor may well be true.

As regards the "White man's burden," it is a poem by Rudyard Kipling. If you look it up in Wiki you will see that academics are divided as to whether it is pro- or anti- imperialism.  However, the conclusion of the third stanza:

Watch sloth and heathen folly

Bring all your hopes to nought.

Gives one an eerie feeling that he had looked ahead to the mess than is much of Africa today.
