Presentation transcript:

Roosevelt Revives the Presidency During his second term, Roosevelt’s reform program was known as the Square Deal. As a progressive and Social Darwinist, he felt the government should try to balance the needs of all the groups in American society. The United Mine Workers(UMW) union called a strike of the miners who dug coal. About 150,000 workers from the mines of eastern Pennsylvania demanded a pay increase, reduction in work hours, and recognition for their union. The strike went on for months, threatening a coal shortage. Roosevelt urged the union and owners to accept arbitration, a settlement imposed by an outside party.

Social Welfare Action By 1905 consumer protection became a national issue. Patent medicines and food consumption became serious threats to Americans, forcing new legislation. As a result of Upton Sinclair’s book, The Jungle, new federal legislation was passed. The Meat Inspection Act required federal inspection of meat sold and set standards of clealiness in meatpacking plants. The Pure Food and Drug Act prohibited the manufacture, sale, of shipment of impure or falsely labeled food and drugs.

Conservation President Roosevelt urged Americans to conserve natural resources. Newland’s Re-claimation Act: use of federal funds from public land sales to pay for irrigation and public land development. Roosevelt appointed Gilford Pinchot to head the US forest services in the West. He created a regulation of lumbering on federal lands. Through these Acts, the executive branch strengthened in power.

Taft’s Progressive Reforms The Children’s Bureau was created to fight child labor. Roosevelt criticized Taft’s actions until he brought a lawsuit against U.S. Steel. Progressives formed the Bull Moose Party to run against Taft in the election of 1912. Republican Conservatives supported Taft and Republican Progressives supported Roosevelt.

Election of 1912 Roosevelt’s New Nationalism favored legislation to protect women and children in the work force and to promote workers compensation. Wilson, the Democratic candidate, created the New Freedom plan which supported free enterprise and criticized Roosevelt for a program that supported monopolies. Roosevelt and Taft split the Republican vote giving Wilson the Electoral College win.

Legacy of Progressivism In 1909, the NAACP was founded to end racial discrimination. In 1916 Wilson signed the Keating-Owen Child Labor Act, which prohibited children under the age of 14 from working in factories. He also signed the Adamson Act, which established an 8 hour work day for railroad workers.
