  4. MUCKRAKERS 44. American journalists, novelists, and critics who exposed CORRUPTION, especially in BUSINESS and POLITICS President Theodore Roosevelt is said to have given the muckrakers their name Famous muckrakers included Upton Sinclair, Ida Tarbell, Lincoln Steffens and Samuel Hopkins Adams Led to increased support for the Progressive Movement 1900 - 1912

  5. MUCKRAKERS 44. Was the term used to describe activist journalists who wrote exposes of business and government misconduct during the early 1900s. Famous muckrakers included Upton Sinclair(who exposed the seamy underbelly of the meatpacking industry in the book THE JUNGLE),Ida Tarbell(who revealed oil company corruption in the book History of Standard Oil), and Lincoln Steffens (who called out urban mismanagement in THE SHAME of CITIES). MUCKRAKING reporting fueled Progressives’ arguments for SOCIAL REFORM

  6. 45. “THE JUNGLE” FACT of the DAY After reading The Jungleby Upton Sinclair, Teddy Roosevelt pushed for passage of the Meat Inspection Act of 1906. The Act mandated cleaner conditions for meatpacking plants. An instant best-seller, Sinclair's book reeked with the stink of the Chicago stockyards. He told how dead rats were shoveled into sausage-grinding machines; how bribed inspectors looked the other way when diseased cows were slaughtered for beef, and how filth and guts were swept off the floor and packaged as "potted ham."

  7. Railroad STRIKE * Pay cuts caused labor strikes to spread through the country * Workers of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad went on strike over a second pay cut * President Hayes used federal troops to restore order after workers were killed 1877

  8. 46 The Influence of Sea POWER Upon History Written by Captain Alfred T. Mahan, fueled the U.S. Government’s drive to control foreign territory, a practice known as IMPERIALISM. The Book argued that to succeed in trade a country must have access to foreign ports and control overseas colonies. The USA soon turned its attention to foreign acquisitions using its newly revamped naval forces. 1890

  9. 47 EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE Refers to the principle that the president has the right to withhold information from Congress and the public when doing so would protect the NATIONAL SECURITY. The PRECEDENT was established by George Washington in 1797, in response to the House of Representative's request to review all documents related to the Washington administration of the Treaty of San Lorenzo( the treaty is not consequential to our study of History at this point in time, Executive Privilege is)

  10. 48 The Wonderful Wizard of OZ Before it became a movie, (published in 1900), it was a popular book by L. Frank Baum. Some believe the story is allegory for the politics of the time: Dorothy represents the common man, the scarecrow represents the FARMER, Dorothy's silver shoes (ruby in the movie) represents the silver standard, the TIN Man represents the industrial worker, and the cowardly Lion was modeled after William Jennings Bryan…who ran for President 4 times.

  11. 49 Yellow Journalism Refers to the sensational reporting that became popular in the nineteenth century, replacing the said journalism of the past. Publishers Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst were credited as yellow journalism ‘s most skilled practitioners. Yellow Journalism featured bold headlines and emphasized scandal and corruption.

  12. 50 FACT of the DAY Morrill Land Grant Act ALLOCATED land and resources for agricultural colleges across the USA. The Act was passed as part of a federal effort to develop the nation’s agriculture. Nearly all of the colleges established were public. 1862

  13. 51 "White Man's Burden" Is a poem by Rudyard Kipling published in response to the annexation of the Philippines by the USA. The poem’s title was adopted as a slogan by those who favored annexation and imperialism. Many Americans believed that the USA, as an advanced nation, had a duty to “CHRISTIANIZE AND CIVILIZE” less developed nations. 1899

  14. 52 Fact of the DAY Turner on FRONTIER Thesis Argued that by the 1890 census, the American frontier – and thus the first period of American history – was gone. According to Frederick Jackson Turner, the frontier shaped the American spirit and character, fostered democracy, and provided a place to which people facing economic distress could flee. As settlers filled the Western territories, the frontier lost it unique character. 1890

  15. 53 Fact of the DAY Alexis de Tocqueville French Civil Servant who traveled to and wrote about the UNITED STATES Wrote Democracy in America, reflecting his interest in the American Democratic process Assessed the American attempt to have both liberty and equality Provided an outsider’s objective view of the AGE of JACKSON 1828

  16. 53 DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA WRITTEN BY ALEXIS de TOCQUEVILLE Was written by the Frenchman Tocqueville, who traveled the USA in the 1830s. The Book is a study of the American political culture. In it, he expresses his admiration for the lack of a PERMANENT ARISTORCRACY in the USA, which, combined with untapped land and resources of the West, provides Americans with numerous opportunities to better themselves through hard work and education.

  30. “The process which society pays for the law of competition…is great; but the advantages of this law are also greater….Whether the law be benign or not, we must say of it: It is here; we cannot evade it;….it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department.” The above passage is characteristic of A Egalitarianism B. Calvinism C. Progressivism D. Social Darwinism E. Cultural pluralism

  31. The principle of “popular sovereignty” stated that • settlers in the Western territories, not Congress, would decide whether to allow slavery in their territory • whenever a new area was settled, all United States citizens were required to vote on the slave status of that area • any settlers disagreeing with federal laws governing slavery were free to ignore those laws • slavery would be permitted in any area after 1848 • The president, after meeting with public interest groups, was to decide on whether slaves would be allowed in a given territory

  32. MUCKRAKERS furthered the causes of the Progressive movement by • organizing grassroots campaigns for political reform at the state level • suing large companies and donating their court awards to Progressive campaigns • staging large, violent protests in support of Progressive goals • warning Americans of the dangers inherent in such radical movements as communism and socialism • alerting the public to the social ills and corporate corruption targeted by Progressives

Someone who emigrated to the USA during the nineteenth century (1800’s) probably chose his or her new hometown based on where • jobs were plentiful • relatives already lived • premiums were paid to new settlers • the climate was most healthful and warm • passage by boat was available at the time The majority of immigrants during the 19th Century came from places in which family concerns were of PRIMARY and SOMETIMES SOLITARY IMPORTANCE. So, they usually headed for a location where FAMILY had already SETTLED. The same, by the way, is pretty much still TRUE today.

  36. The principle of “popular sovereignty” stated that • settlers in the Western territories, not Congress, would decide whether to allow slavery in their territory • whenever a new area was settled, all United States citizens were required to vote on the slave status of that area • any settlers disagreeing with federal laws governing slavery were free to ignore those laws • slavery would be permitted in any area after 1848 • The president, after meeting with public interest groups, was to decide on whether slaves would be allowed in a given territory ………a policy was sought to appease the abolitionist and slaveholders. By allowing the settlers to decide the slave status of an area, popular sovereignty took some pressure off Congress, which was growing DIVIDED over the issue. Henry Clay invoked the idea of Popular Sovereignty in the Compromise of 1850.

  37. MUCKRAKERS furthered the causes of the Progressive movement by • organizing grassroots campaigns for political reform at the state level • suing large companies and donating their court awards to Progressive campaigns • staging large, violent protests in support of Progressive goals • warning Americans of the dangers inherent in such radical movements as communism and socialism • alerting the public to the social ills and corporate corruption targeted by Progressives ….Progressive era movement. “MUCKRAKERS” is a term Theodore Roosevelt coined to describe the investigative journalists of his day.

MUCKRAKERS helped fuel the public outcry for government reform, the main goal of the PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT.
