The program also discusses key figures and events, including J. P. Morgan, Gifford Pinchot, John Muir, Senator Robert La Follette, the Sierra Club, the Food & Drug Administration, the Panic of 1907, the origins of the Federal Reserve System.

I like the old blog better! This one is weird and its hard to understand! The posts are all bunched up and some of the text is really small. Tesler, what is wrong with you? Change it back!
Wilson worked for federal government he cared for farmers and ranchers.
1906 the great sanfrancisco struck and there was a lack of water. Sanfrancisco was needed of a water supply and repairs. The Hedchechi( sorry about the spelling) dam was built.
The panic of 1907 was when walstreet went to freefall and JP Morgans bank was in need of recovery. The steel industry took over the oil industry. The Panic of 1907 was saved by JP Morgan and we needed ourselves to rely on becausee we couldnt rely on JP morgan to keep out economy up. Taft took presidensy and Roosevely stayed out of american affairs. Taft was not as much of a successfull republican as Roosevelt. Taft was more for supreme court justice than in his presidency. Taft leaft office as a exesivcely decieved president. Progresives had to organize away from Roosevelts cristma. Roosevelt comes back in the 1912 election which there were three factors the Farmers the laborers and the immigrants that each had different interests and had different ways to please. Wilson was running as someone who supported progresivism and farmers and laborers. He was for the middle class people. Wilson wins the voters and becomes president in 1912. Wilson had a stron set of ideas about legislation and he came to see that there had to be a stronger link between popular expression and what the people wanted. He established the federal trade comission.

Wilsonian Progressivism at Home and Abroad: CHAPTER QUESTIONS
1. Wilson's New Freedom plan called for stronger anti-trust legislations, tariff reductions, and improvements in the banks. T.R.'s New Nationalism plan was similar to Wilson's in that they both wanted a more active role in the government when it comes to economic and social affairs. However, their theories or strategies to reach this goal differed.
2. Wilson had only won 41 percent of the popular vote, but his party won a majority in Congress.
3. He had the ideal image, with the glasses, figure, and clean-cut features. His father was a priest and he was a profound student of government. However when it came to talking to people individually he was cold and not very social .
4. The tariffs, the banks, and the trusts.
5. It created a regulatory agency for banking with 12 regional reserve districts. Each bank was independent but was controlled by the Federal Reserve Board, which was controlled by the public. The Federal Reserve controls the amount of money in circulation through its reserves and interest rates.
6. The Federal Trade Commission Act, which empowered a president-appointed position to investigate the activities of trusts and stop unfair trade practices such as unlawful competition, false advertising, mislabeling, adulteration, & bribery. Clayton Anti-Trust Act lengthened the Sherman Anti-Trust Act’s list of practices that were objectionable, exempted labor unions from being called trusts (as they had been called by the Supreme Court under the Sherman Act), and legalized strikes and peaceful picketing by labor union members.
7. The Federal Farm Loan Act of 1916 made credit available to the farmers at low rates of interest as long as Populists demanded it. The Warehouse Act of 1916 authorized loans on the security of staple crops. La Follette Seamen's Act of 1915 guaranteed sailors decent treatment and a good wage on American merchant ships. The Workingmen's Compensation Act of 1916 granted assistance of federal civil-service employees during periods of disability. However, it was cancelled by the Supreme Court. The Adamson Act of 1916 established an eight hour long work day for workers of the interstate commerce and trains. In 1916 Wilson also nominated Louis D. Brandeis for the Supreme Court; Louis would be the first Jew appointed. Despite all of these legislative steps Wilson cast aside the blacks; being a man from down South he didn't take them into consideration.
Wilsonian Progressivism at Home and Abroad: CHAPTER QUESTIONS
8. He did not like imperialism nor did he agree with the dollar diplomacy. He wasn't aggressive when it came to foreign policy. He had repealed the Panama Canal Tolls Act of 1912 and signed the Jones Act in 1916. When disorder broke out in Haiti in 1915, Wilson sent American Marines, and in 1916, he sent Marines to quell violence in the Dominican Republic.
9. Mexico had been oppressed for years by U.S. investors in oil, railroads, and mines, but the Mexican people were extremely poor, and in 1913, they revolted, and installed full-blooded Indian General Victoriano Huerta to the presidency.
10. In 1914, a Serbian nationalist killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Austria declared war on Serbia, which was supported by Russia, who declared war on Austria-Hungary and Germany, which declared war on Russia and France, then invaded neutral Belgium, and pulled Britain into the war and starting World War I.
11. They resorted to violence in American factories and ports, and when one agent left his briefcase in a New York elevator, the contents of his briefcase contained plans for sabotage.
12. They sank many ships with their submarines otherwise known as U-boats. One of the ships they sunk was the Lusitania, a British passenger liner that was carrying arms and munitions as well. The attack killed 1,198 lives, including 128 Americans.
13. He promised to keep America out of war; however America's state of neutrality did not seem to exist anymore.
14. I agree with the theory that progressives were the "heirs of the Jefferson-Jacksonian- Populist reform crusades" . They were your average folk who demanded equal rights economically and socially. I do also believe that they could have been middle class people who were being suppressed by the new rising businesses and corporate leaders. All the theories about the derivation of progressives make sense but I would have to say that they are originally from the Jefferson- Jacksonian- Populist reform crusades.
