Hey everyone! Yesterday we discussed the impact of trusts on the nation and the ideas of trust busting (Theodore Roosevelt). Theodore Roosevelt took an active stance against businesses he felt were harmful to society. Roosevelt also believed that the unregulated expansion of businesses and the destruction of the environment was a problem. For homework, you are to read the article on conservation during the Roosevelt presidency. Please answer the following questions in your notebook. We will discuss more in detail during Wednesday's class.
1.) What evidence does the article give for Roosevelt's love for science before his presidency?
2.) What was the impact of rapid industrialization on nature and the environment?
3.) What was the Boone and Crockett Club and how did they further the ideas of conservation?
4.) What were the policies of Roosevelt regarding conservation during his presidency?
5.) How did Roosevelt continue studying science and animals after his presidency?
Also, your muckraking articles are due tomorrow. I will provide an opportunity for students who would like to present.
