Chapter 28:

- They fought against monopolies, corruption, inefficiency, and social injustice. Their purpose was to use the government as an agency of human welfare.

- Corruption with big businesses and the government, the Standard Oil and it's ruthlessness, the money trusts and railroad barons, child labor, and African Americans education.

-
They desired to expose graft, using a secret ballot to counteract the effects of party bosses, and have direct election of U.S. senators to curb corruption.

- They regulated railroads and trusts helped with the slums, prostitution, and juvenile delinquency.

- They were combating child labor and they were somewhat successful because they got the 18th Amendment passed prohibiting the sale and drinking of alcohol.

- They were control of the corporations, consumer protection, and the conservation of the United States’ natural resources.

- He wasn't such a big trustbuster as he was depicted.

- It revealed the truth about the meat-packing industry.

- Americans were wasting their natural resources.

- Congress passed the Aldrich-Vreeland Act, which authorized national banks to issue emergency currency backed by various kinds of collateral.

- He made America realize that because we have relations with other nations we cannot remain isolationist.

- He was the opposite of Teddy and not very liberal.

- The dollar diplomacy was for Wall Street bankers to sluice their surplus dollars into foreign areas of strategic concern to the U.S., especially in the Far East and in the regions critical to the security of the Panama Canal. This investment, in effect, gave the U.S. economic control over these areas.

- Roosevelt deserves it.

- The Republican party was split between the Progressives and the Old Guard that Taft supported, so that the Democrats emerged with a landslide in the House.

- In the Election of 1912, it would be Theodore Roosevelt (Progressive Republican) versus William H. Taft (Old Guard Republican) versus the Democratic candidate, whomever that was to be.

This era was to fix modernazation it was to fix monopolization,and social justice and corruption. In this era, more laws were made to help molpoinazation end and to make companies able to make money. The eighteenth amendmend was added to the constitution that made intoxicating alcahol illigal but was repealed in the twenty first amendment. Standards were added for foods in which foods had to pass a certain grade in order to be sold and fed to people in concerns for their health. Child labor was debated because it was wrong to have children work due to the harsh working conditions and due to their low pay. Also working conditions were given standards for well being of immigrants who came to the country and have no other choice but to work in factories at loww wage and harsh working conditions.
