*The Square Deal1. Corporations = control big business2. Consumers = protections for the public3. Conservation = preserve nature and resources
TR used his “bully pulpit” to sway media and legislation.
Corporations● TR intervened in 1902 coal
miners strike → threatened to take over the mine
● 1903 = compromise that led to pay hike and a nine-hour work day for the miners but gave up right to strike
Corporations● 1887 Interstate Commerce Act had little power to
enforce laws → ○ Elkins Act = illegal to give rebates for using a
particular railroad○ Hepburn Act = limited free RR passes and ICC
could set max prices
Consumers● The Jungle → Meat Inspection Act (1906) =
cleanliness requirements● Pure Food and Drug Act (1906) = called for truth in
labeling
Conservation● TR influenced by John Muir (writer and naturalist) → set
aside:○ 148 million acres of forest reserves○ 1.5 million acres for water power○ 80 million acres of land○ 50 wildlife sanctuaries
Conservation● Gifford Pinchot becomes head of U.S. Forest Service →
big push to keep forests under gov’t control
Conservation● Conservation (Pinchot and Roosevelt) v. Preservation
(Muir)○ National Reclamation Act = sale of public lands
funded irrigation projects like the Roosevelt Dam

Deal. In the right margin, translate TR’s words into plain English.

In your notes...In your opinion, which “C” (corporation, consumers, conservation) was the biggest legacy of TR?
Civil Rights● TR failed to support movements for increased rights for
African Americans and other disenfranchised minorities
Booker T. Washington● born a slave in 1856 and was
nine years old when slavery ended
● principal of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, a school designed to teach blacks industrial skills
W. E. B. Du Bois● helped established
NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People)
● criticized Washington for his accommodationist approach
Discussion Questions1. Washington has been a very controversial figure. Some historians say that he was a sell-out who kissed up to white people; others say he was realistic about the situation in the South, and tied to avoid inciting white hostility. What do you think?
Discussion Questions2. What was DuBois’s critique of Washington? Do you think he makes a good point? Why or why not?
Discussion Questions3. Why might some of Washington’s supporters say that DuBois didn’t understand what life was like in the South? Based on what he wrote, do you think DuBois was clueless about what was happening in the South?
Discussion Questions4. Based on these documents, who do you think was a stronger advocate for the rights of African-Americans: Booker T. Washington or W.E.B. Dubois?
