    1) Teddy Roosevelt became USA president after McKinley was assassinated. He was in favor of many progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy. He was the youngest president ever of the USA and his youth worked in his favor. He believed that the president was a “steward of the people” and should do whatever possible to help and benefit the people as long it was not specifically stated against in the Constitution.
    2) The Square Deal was a term used by Roosevelt to describe his own governing beliefs. He reduced excessive business power in the government. His philosophy was not to get rid of big business but to make sure they don’t manipulate and take advantage of laborers.
    3) A result of the Square deal was the Hepburn Act which gave the Interstate Commerce Committee more power. It allowed them change the railroad rate to what they considered was fair. This act stated the government’s powers of regulation more definitively.

    Teddy Roosevelt & the Square Deal

    1. Teddy Roosevelt was the 26th president of the United States. He was a wild cowboy but he was very much so PRO-people. But he wasn’t going to deal with strikes and rebellions. He was credited with ending the coal strike. He urged Congressional approval of the Pure Food and Drug Act, which forbade impure foods and required labeling of ingredients of foods and drugs.
    2. Theodore Roosevelt introduced the phrase "Square Deal" to describe his Progressive views in a speech delivered after leaving the office of the Presidency in August 1910.
    3. Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 was probably the most important act EVER! Period the food industry was a nasty place prier to the 1906. Now people couldn’t sell anything with out it be approved for sale. This limited the diseases that were in the foods which then decreased the amount of deaths at this time.

    Describe who Roosevelt was.
    Theodore Roosevelt was a police commissioner, a governor of NY, war hero, and probably most notably our 26th president of the United States. T.R. was not intentionally made president however; he was the Vice president at the time of William McKinley’s assassination. Although he was not elected by the people, people would soon come to adore T.R. for his strong, energetic and direct personality. In addition, T.R. became a prominent figure in the United States progressive era, and would become a stronger advocator for the conservation of nature, this became apparent with his plans to build national parks like Yellow Stone. Lastly, T.R.’s foreign policy was very strong considering he traveled the world extensively through out his lifetime.



    What was the Square Deal?
    Roosevelt issued the square deal in 1907; “square” essentially refers to a fair and “square” system, in which the neither rich nor poor are subject to discrimination. This meant that all of T.R.’s policies would not favor one class over the other, and even bolster the weak lower classes, which for a while were in fact left in the dark in light of the industrial era’s spotlight on big business.


    What was the effect of the Square Deal? Describe one of these: Northern Securities Case, Hepburn Act (1906), Pure Food and Drug Act (1906), AMERICAN ANTIQUITIES ACT (1906)

    The pure food and drug act (1906) forbid that items that’s are “adulterated” or that contain misbranded ingredients/chemicals cannot be sold. However, this all came as a result of the square deal, because at the time foods that contained harmful chemicals/ingredients were all the lower classes could afford.
