  1. What is this talking about? NY Post Mary had a little lamb And when she saw it sicken She shipped it off to Packingtown And now it’s labeled chicken.

  2. Protecting the Consumer • “We saw meat shoveled from filthy wooden floors, piled on tables rarely washed, pushed from room to room in rotten box carts…. In all of which process it [the meat] was in the way of gathering dirt, splinters, floor filth and the expectoration [saliva] of tuberculous and other diseased workers.” • Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson

  3. Protecting the Consumer (19.2) • In 1906, The Jungle was published. Later that year, the Meat Inspection Act required federal government inspection of meat shipped across state lines. The Pure Food & Drug Act forbade the manufacture of food and patent medicine containing harmful ingredients and required food labels.

  4. “We have women working in the foundries… women in the laundries… stand for 13 or 14 hours in the terrible steam and heat with their hands in hot starch. Surely these women won’t lose any more of their beauty and charm by putting a ballot in a ballot box once a year than they are likely to lose standing in foundries or laundries all year.” • Rose Shneiderman pg 591

  5. Struggle for Women’s Suffrage (19.3) • The National American Woman Suffrage Association was led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. The NAWSA tried to go from state to state to get them to pass women’s suffrage. By 1901, 4 states had granted women full suffrage. • Alice Paul broke off and formed the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage. The CUWS tried to get a national amendment passed.

  6. Carrie Chapman Catt took over the NAWSA and helped to get the 19th Amendment passed, granting women full voting rights in 1920.

  7. “Dear Son: Hurrah and vote for suffrage! Don't keep them in doubt! I notice some of the speeches against. They were bitter. I have been watching to see how you stood, but have not noticed anything yet. Don't forget to be a good boy and help Mrs. Cat put the "rat" in ratification. Your mother” • To Harry Burns, Tennessee* • *TN is the 36th state to ratify the amendment
