ESSAY ON: Teddy Roosevelt and the Progressive Movement

Number of Pages 10

This research paper: (10 pp) Progressives were a loosely knit group of activists, who occasionally even seemed opposed to each other. According to Schulz (2000), while not opposed to capitalism as a concept they did want to change the relationship of labor to business. Immigration was viewed as a 'problem.' Some felt the solution was the 'Americanization' of immigrants; others felt immigration should be restricted by legislation. Private utilities and transportation methods should have some regulations; others felt the government should straighten out 'the whole mess.' Political reform was a necessity. Could it be done, by eliminating the 'political machine,' or were there other solutions? We might say that during this time the country was beginning to 're-think' itself, and looked for a leader who could either provide answers or guidance. Teddy Roosevelt was just the guy for the job! Bibliography lists 6 sources and two photographs of the President.
