Muckrakers US.16 Citing textual evidence as appropriate, explain the significant roles played by muckrakers and progressive idealists, including Robert La Follette, Theodore Roosevelt, Ida Tarbell, Lincoln Steffens, and Upton Sinclair. (C, E, P)

Our Objectives Today Students understand how Muckrakers impacted people's lives during the early 20 th century and students' lives today. Examine examples of historical primary sources of the Progressive Era. Compare the way each writer uses detail to make a point.

Muckrakers The term "muckraker" was taken from the fictional character in John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, a man who was consigned to rake muck endlessly, never lifting his eyes from his drudgery. People in the United States had long been displeased with the unsafe conditions, political corruption and social injustice of the industrial age, but it was not until the late 19th century that the proliferation of cheap newspapers and magazines galvanized widespread opposition. Writers directed their criticisms against the trusts (oil, beef and tobacco), prison conditions, exploitation of natural resources, the tax system, the insurance industry, pension practices and food processing, among others.

Ida Tarbell ( ) Remember, she wrote an expose on Standard Oil?

Our Objectives Today Students understand how Muckrakers impacted people's lives during the early 20 th century and students' lives today. Examine examples of historical primary sources of the Progressive Era. Compare the way each writer uses detail to make a point.

Question Time.... How did muckrakers change society in the first decade of the 20 th century? How do you know? Cite Evidence… How did Upton Sinclair's book "The Jungle" change the meat packing industry? What motivated the muckrakers of this era? What mechanisms did muckrakers use to try to get their point across to their readers?

More Questions :-) How extensive was corruption in the second half of the 19 th Century? Why did individuals seem to get lost in the expansion of our country? Our government? Business? Who were the muckrakers? Why was their work so valuable?
