    Theodore Roosevelt Report

    To many, Theodore Roosevelt is just one of the 44 presidents staring blankly out of a U.S. History textbook page, but he, along with three other noteworthy presidents, is immortalized in stone on Mt. Rushmore for a reason. His remarkable life story began even before his presidency: he “rose like a rocket” in his political position through introducing modern technology and reforms to the police system, and gained glory as a volunteer in the Rough Riders during their victory at San Juan Hill in Cuba. On September 14, 1901, Roosevelt succeeded President William McKinley and became the youngest to ever become president. He was the first to perform an assortment of other feats, such as riding an airplane and submarine, winning the Nobel Peace Prize, and most importantly, becoming the first modern president. He referred to the White House as a “bully pulpit” (a position sufficiently conspicuous to provide an opportunity to speak out and be listened to), while regulating monopolies--from which he gained the title of “trust buster”--and enforcing a program of domestic reforms that he coined “the square deal.” His beliefs were based on the “stewardship theory of presidency,” which directs the president “to do anything that the needs of the Nation demanded unless such action was forbidden by the Constitution or by the laws.” Unlike his predecessors, Roosevelt did not remain in the comfort of the White House, but instead traveled to other countries for campaigns, becoming the first president to leave the United States. His destinations included Africa, where he sought artifacts for the Smithsonian, hunting, and writing inspiration; and Panama, where he undertook the construction of the Panama Canal--the “greatest achievement of [his] presidency.” However, after a narrow escape from an assassination attempt during his Bull Moose campaign, Roosevelt retreated to his home in Sagamore Hill, where he stayed for 34 years until his death in 1919, due to cardiovascular disease.…

Railroads required a large amount of capital investments and relied on a large management system. Railroad companies had competed against each other. Rival companies built expensive lines which could have been parallel to their competitors. They fought for business by promoting a faster and cheaper service. Not only that, but laborers had to work 15-hour days with low wages and in extremely dangerous working conditions. The railroad workers were quite violent, attacking railroad yards, burning trains, and tearing up tracks. This time period was a shock for most Americans, but for the workers on strike, it was educative. The workers learned…

I asked myself questions such as why did John Muir fight for preserving nature, and who did he work with to get national parks established, to guide my research.…

    Pullman Strike Consequences

    destroyed it in support of the workers on strike at the Pullman Company. This was the most violent night of the strikes (Stein, 24).Pullman ordered for the railroad cars to be filled with mail. This would force the strikers to allow the railroad to operate because it was against the law to stop the transportation of mail. President Glover Cleveland sent in federal troops to stop the strikes because they were interfering with the transportation of mail. This led to the jailing of Eugene V. Debs because he refused to move from blocking the tracks. Debs remained in prison for six months (World Book-D, 253). This action ended the strike. Pullman then fired most strikers and blacklisted many others so that they could not receive a job anywhere else.…

    Franklin D. Roosevelt: The Ten Days That Changed America

    Franklin D. Roosevelt: The Ten Days That Changed America

    Teddy Roosevelt made so many advances. He would later be the inspiration of Franklin D. Roosevelt who took similar stances on many topics. Besides his inspiration, Roosevelt accomplished many things in office. .Roosevelt would be one of the most involved presidents of the time. “Most presidents had outlined their goals…Roosevelt sent drafts of legislation to Congress and actively lobbied on behalf of that legislation.”(139). He was also known to feed the media stories that benefited his self-image. In many ways, Roosevelt was a man of firsts. He was first to “ride in an automobile, fly in an airplane, and be submerged in a submarine.” (139). Roosevelt directly contrasted McKinley, Roosevelts social agenda included “regulation of the railroads [and] increased federal power to regulate commerce…”(142) Roosevelt also used his power to set aside large portions of natural forest for the benefit of future generations. Roosevelt also facilitated the production of the Panama Canal. Roosevelt’s famous quote regarding his opinion of foreign policy is to “Speak softly and carry a big stick…” The president was strongly in favor of a larger federal government. Roosevelt “helped the nation make the transition from a rural republic to a world power” (146) Thus, his significance can forever be shown with his face carved into the side of Mount Rushmore. Roosevelt’s significance is much more focused due to the actuality of it. A decent amount of McKinley’s significance lays in potential. What changes could he have made? That is unknown. The unknown and known have equal significance. It is a tragedy that the United States never got to fully experience President McKinley’s significance. Some events are so reliant on time and place and amazing things happen. The same happens with horrible events. Both have value. Without the wrong doings of the past, the United States could not be…
