E. O. Wilson

Great Presidents of the Progressive Era were Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Lasting from 1985 to 1920, the Progressive movement in America endeavored to alter corruption in government, enhance social reform, and lessen corporate power (597). Each President fulfilled Progressive goals in part by enacting regulations, promoting social efficiency, restricting abuse of power and foreign influence (599). Roosevelt and Wilson resonated the underlying theme of the Progressive Era by overcoming…

The most meaningful part of this book, The River of Doubt, I believe is when Theodore Roosevelt decided to go on the journey to the Amazon. This is the most meaningful part to me because it shows how you should never give up and just because you can’t get one thing that you want doesn’t mean you can’t reach a different goal. After Roosevelt lost the presidential election in 1912 he set his eyes on one of his other passions, adventure. I believe that the purpose of this book was to show that…

“Between Theodore Roosevelt’s Square Deal and Woodrow Wilson’s New Freedom domestic programs, which was more ‘progressive’?”. Theodore Roosevelt’s Square Deal was more progressive compared to Woodrow Wilson’s New Freedom domestic program. Meaning of Progressivism is to bring rapid changes in life of Americans in the area of –industrialization, urbanization and immigration where there was complete injustice and chaos. The Progressive Era of 1890-1920, brought remarkable revolution…

These were the people who thought it was their job to bring education and religion to the people of different ethnicities (Kipling 1). The election of 1912 played a big role in Progressivism. Woodrow Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt ran against each other under the same movement but with different ideas. Wilson pushed for a larger government and smaller businesses, while Roosevelt was for the opposite. This made the Progressive movement a top-down argument where people try to fix the countries…

Woodrow Wilson faces problems of the United States Wilson thought that the government was having privacy problems, that there was too much government involved in big businesses, that the tariff was too high and was causing Americans to lose money, and that the United States was stuck in a cycle when it came to government. To fix these problems he wanted to bring the government back to the people of the United States, he wanted to bring back competition to solve government involvement and…

the allies as well. Woodrow Wilson, the 28th president, took a page out of George Washington’s book over 100 years later. When Europe was fighting in the First World War, Woodrow Wilson had a difficult decision to make regarding the future of the United States. Though some disagree with his policies, he had successes and failures just like all the other presidents. However, his presidency as a whole can be analyzed based on how he performed during a war. Woodrow Wilson faced a new challenge in…

From 1914-1918, Americans were concerned with the war in Europe and the United States’ eventual involvement in 1917. Prior to 1917, Americans did not want to be involved with WWI just as Americans didn’t want to be involved in WWII in the early 1940’s. Despite America’s desire to remain out of the war (Leuchtenburg 12), German attacks on U.S. ships in both wars forced the hands of the Presidents. Charlie Chaplin’s, Shoulder Arms (1918), came out at the end of WWI and made the U.S. public aware…

In the Democratic convention of 1896, Bryan with his Cross of Gold speech that favored free silver, was defeated by William McKinley to become president. Bryan also lost his bids to become president in 1900 and 1908, using the years in between to run a newspaper and serve as a public speaker. In 1912 he helped Woodrow Wilson…
