The website I found is from the heritage foundation, which is a research and educational institution based in Washington D.C. They research, write and cover a variety of American history topics. This website is good for anyone who likes reading about history topics. This article is entitled “Theodore Roosevelt: Progressive Crusader.” The article covers many topics from his early life to his presidency and being a reformer. Everything from his education, family, and accomplishments have been discussed. Most importantly, his time during the progressive era and being a progressive crusader was explored. His accomplishments have been examined in…
This book is about Theodore Roosevelt's life. When he was a child, he had many disease. He was always sick, and he had asthma, so he can't breathe well as a young kid. Teddy, did get home-schooled instead of learning things in a public school. He became a naturalist and married a woman. His wife died, so he had only a son left in his family. He did eventually married again and became a politician. He was very unsuccessful and he became a governor, followed by the vice-president. Teddy Roosevelt did become a president when the previous president, William died. As years passed quickly for him, he had grown up as a strong man. He did continue hunting animals, climbing mountains, and exploring lands until he died. What I think about this story…
Being Jewish anywhere in the world was hard in the 1930s and 40s. Almost all know about German jewish hardship, the systematic slaughter of millions of jews in death camps across Hitler’s empire, but what many do not understand is that anti-semitism was incredibly strong in the United States as well. However, in a time when almost none stood by their side, Franklin Delano Roosevelt seemed the only world leader who cared. However, his cabinet did not share his welcoming attitude, and attempted to sabotage him. Although Roosevelt demonstrated that he did care about saving the Jews, his administration perpetrated systematic denial of Jewish entry to the country. Because he did not do enough to investigate this until it was too late, he is…
Progressivism is a political attitude which favours various reforms through government action towards many things in society. In America Progressivism was a reaction to the rapid industrialisation of the nation throughout the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.The goals of progressivism were not to reverse the changes that occurred in America during the changes to a highly industrialised society, but to instead embrace them whilst altering the system to create a fairer and more just society. Examples of this would be ‘trust busting’ (breaking up excessively large corporations) and promoting social justice and enacting reforms to try to achieve it. Overall progressivism promoted a more interventionist and moral approach to economics and government. Theodore Roosevelt was the symbol of progressivism during the early 1900’s. Originally a Republican and president from 1900-1909, he became heavily influenced by progressive ideas during his time in office. Following his disillusion with the Republican party he formed his own Progressive party.…
When Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his First Inaugural Address, the United States was middle of the Great Depression. The economy was at rock bottom. In his first Inaugural Address, Roosevelt vowed to help the nation recover from the Great Depression. He wanted to stabilize and direct the American economy (American Yawp). He says that the greatest task is to “put people to work”, to fix the overbalance of population in the industrial centers by, “engaging on a national scale in a redistribution, endeavor to provide a better use of the land for those best fitted for the land. The task can be helped by definite efforts to raise the values of agricultural…
Roosevelt was able to use his meticulous diction that described his empathetic tone to persuade the citizens that he had a logical plan to bring the nation out of the Great Depression. His appeal to pathos, ethos, and logos with use of figurative language helped convince the audience about his agenda. His appeal to pathos could be seen throughout the speech, as he continuously referred to the nation as “our nation,” “our problems,” “our national security,” “our government,” and more. His repetition of the word “our” was used 29 times in his speech, which helped emphasize that even he was part of the problem, that the Americans citizens were not alone, FDR was one of them. This close connection with the audience in addition to his appeal to ethos would help him win their trust. In his speech, he gives credits to many different laws, like the Farm Relief bill, Railroad Bill, and also local governments, like the government in Muscle Shoals. His ability of giving credit to those laws, governments, the congress, and the legislation makes his sound scholarly who has background information on the nation. He also addressed to President Washington and President Teddy Roosevelt, as well as the constitutional government, to demonstrate that his hopes for the future will never die out. He quotes those people to make the citizens realize that the US has been independent and successful for hundreds of years, and a stock market crash will not change that. His use of metaphors for addressing the stock market crash is a way to not show the citizens the past, but what lies for them in the future. He also uses idioms, like “kill one bird with two stones” to refer how the government if show the money crisis issue and unemployment at the same time. This created hopes within the citizens that something good is there for them in the future. Furthermore, FDR does not often appeal to logos because he knows that he is tells statistics, knowing that more than half of his…
Theodore Roosevelt became president in September 1901 after the assassination of William McKinley making him the most powerful person in the government. As president, Roosevelt advanced political reforms, including the heavy regulation of business. Roosevelt was the first president to successfully invoke the Sherman Antitrust Act against monopolies and continued to restrict businesses throughout his presidency. His reforms greatly influenced economic, environmental, and international affairs as well. Roosevelt’s platform became known as the “Square Deal” because he vowed not to favor any group of Americans but to be fair to all. When Theodore Roosevelt went into office he made it his mission to get everyone…

Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s reliance on the American public for power transformed the modern American presidency as was known. Presidents began speaking directly to the public about legislation and policies, gauging and relying on its support for guidance on how to govern. As the size of governmental institutions increased, diluting the president’s power to bargain, the president was forced to “go public” to force Congress to enact legislation (Kernell). Additionally, declining party attachments and the independence of candidates in the 20th century caused this “individualized pluralism” (Kernell). But the presence of extreme ideological polarization is apparent now more than ever.…
Through this American will that started it all, the economy was definitely stimulated. The logging industry flourished. The steel and stone industries had similar success all because of the link between the gold rush and the railroad. This not only increased the infrastructure benefitting the economy of the U.S., but it also set up the U.S. to industrialize. This could not have been done without the spike in population caused by the gold rush. These events are all very much so intertwined. The American will brought people to the right places and allowed for the gold rush to be one of the 10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America.…

Theodore RooseveltTheodore Roosevelt began his presidency in 1901, and by the time he left in 1908, he had imprinted a significant mark in American history. Theodore, also known as Teddy and T.R., helped nurture a still young country into the magnificent nation it has become today. An incredible amount of work had to be completed before this transformation of a nation could be accomplished. T.R. devoted every minute of his presidency to prepare America for the turn of the century. America was indefinitely shocked by the changes the 20th century brought with it, but Teddy 's efforts helped reduce the effect of the shock. The major three contributions of Theodore Roosevelt 's presidency are, in order of importance, his involvement in increasing the authority of the presidency in domestic affairs, his efforts in conserving the environment, and most important of all, his preparation of America 's rise to become a world power.…
Theodore Roosevelt, in my opinion, was the most progressive president. America was having some problems and we needed a leader who could point us into a new direction. This leader was known as Teddy Roosevelt. Roosevelt came into office knowing that some reform was to be made, so, right off the bat, he introduces the Square Deal. This deal addressed his concerns for America at the time, including: control of corporations, consumer protection, and conservation. He also introduced the "Big Stick Diplomacy" which said that international negotiations were to be backed up by the threat of force. Roosevelt also progressed for America whenever he advocated the Panama Canal. The least progressive president, again in my opinion, was William Taft. Taft…
President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal program changed the course of American history greatly. The New Deal was associated with a number of economic programs and initiatives implemented in the country during the presidency of Roosevelt contributing to the country’s economic prosperity and stability, as well as greater confidence and security on the part of American citizens. President Roosevelt did not only promote but also re-defined the meaning of economic freedom over the course of the New Deal stating that the governments promoting economic inequality and poverty also promoted oppression and distarothip giving no hope for the future prosperity and social stability. Roosevelt…
