2. Name That President!
Identify the president, key policies of his administration
relevant to the motto, and the motto's importance to the
themes of history during that time.
PART A
3. 1. Square Deal
Theodore Roosevelt. This program was formed
through three basic ideas: the idea to conserve natural
resources, regulate corporations and businesses, and
to protect consumers. It was directed towards helping
the middle class and worked to break up bad trusts.
While doing this, it also protected businesses from
unreasonable demands of organized labor.
Name That
President!
4. 2. Dollar Diplomacy
William Taft. This program emphasized the use of
money to solve the nation‟s problems. Taft wanted to
guarantee loans to foreign nations in order to help the
U.S. in the long run; more specifically in Latin America
and East Asia. The theme during this time was money.
The economy was booming and there was a surplus of
money in the federal department.
Name That
President!
5. 3. Modern Republicanism:
Dwight D. Eisenhower. The concept of Modern Republicanism is
being somewhat liberal in Fiscal and Domestic affairs, while remaining
conservative in global affairs. Modern Republicanism calls for lower
taxes, smaller government and more state power in issues. He cut the
federal budget and instituted measures to increase states' rights but at
the same time increased Social Security and raised the minimum
wage. He also created the Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare, which he placed under the guidance of Oveta Culp Hobby of
Texas. Eisenhower signed legislation that created the Interstate
Highway System, laying the basis for the modern interstate system
used today. Many of the existing New Deal programs established by
his predecessors remained during Eisenhower‟s tenure, and the
primary focus of his presidency dealt with diffusing the mounting
tension of the early Cold War.
Name That
President!
6. 4. New Freedom:
Woodrow Wilson. This was a plan to be able to break
up trusts into smaller companies, in which he hoped to
restore the competition that had once existed in the
American economy. He wanted to reduce the Tariff
(Payne-Aldrich Tariff 1909) put in effect by the
Republicans. He did so with the Underwood Tariff of
1913 and he created many farmer and healthcare
programs that benefitted the two.
Name That
President!
7. 5. New Deal:
Franklin D. Roosevelt. The New Deal was a series of economic
programs enacted in the United States between 1933 and 1936.
They involved presidential executive orders or laws passed by
Congress during the first term of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The programs were in response to the Great Depression, and
focused on the "3 R‟s": Relief, Recovery, and Reform. The top ten
programs created through the new deal were the Civilian
Conservation Corps, Civil Works Administration, Federal Housing
Administration, Federal Security Agency, Home Owner's Loan
Corporation, National Recovery Act, Public Works Administration,
Social Security Act, Tennessee Valley Authority, and the Works
Progress Administration.
Name That
President!
8. 6. Manifest Destiny
James K. Polk. During Polk‟s presidency, he was in power during
a time when European nations continued to interfere with American
settlements. His policies consisted of the Fiscal Policy and
Foreign Policy. Polk‟s Fiscal Policy was created in order to reduce
the Tariff of 1842, which raised average tariff rates. His Foreign
Policy was created in order to allow America to grow, which
involved Manifest Destiny. During his presidency he fought for the
annexation of Oregon and Texas, which led to the Mexican-
American War. It is because of James Polk that American pursued
Manifest Destiny without the interference of European nations, and
allowed America to keep growing.
Name That
President!
9. 7. Rugged Individualism
Herbert Hoover. Hoover‟s presidency took place during a horrible
recession, otherwise known as the Great Depression, within America.
Rugged Individualism pertains to Hoover because he believed that
individuals could succeed without financial support from the
government. Hoover‟s policies were volunteerism which encouraged
public-private cooperation, and he worked to expand civil service.
Many of his programs, although they were intended to help, harmed
many Americans that prevented them from coming out of the rut of
poverty. Many people began living in slums that they called
Hoovervilles because they believe Hoover was the cause for the
depression. The motto‟s importance is that during this time many
people were left alone, forced to help themselves without the help of
the government.
Name That
President!
10. 8. Great Society:
Lyndon B. Johnson. The two main goals of President
Johnson‟s administration was to eliminate racial
injustice and to eliminate poverty. Programs attempting
to fix problems of poverty, medical care, education,
urban problems, and transportation were launched
during this period. Some of the most significant were
the creations of medicare and medicaid. This was
important because it conveyed that America should be
focusing more on its internal problems rather than the
problems oversea in Vietnam.
Name That
President!
11. 9. Fair Deal:
Harry S. Truman. The major initiatives of the Truman
administration were to aid education, and universal
health insurance, Fair employment act commision, and
repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act. He was important in the
Civil Rights movement because during the time of the
Fair Deal. Truman made the Housing Act which housed
many of the poor in public housing. Although the fair
deal was not a success it was important because it
showed that there were Americans who wanted to help
people find economic stability but he couldn‟t do
anything because he was met with opposition from
conservative legislatures.
Name That
President!
12. 10. New Frontier:
John F. Kennedy. Key policies of this administration included the
expansion of unemployment benefits, the continued construction of
a national highway system, anti-poverty legislations were passed,
improvements in Social Security, conservation of crops, and arms
control. John F. Kennedy challenged Americans to see what they
can do for their country and America took this serious as they put
the first two Americans to orbit the earth. President Kennedy was
able to leave a foundation for Americans especially with the Peace
Corps and the Alliance for progress. After his death, Lyndon B.
Johnson continued President Kennedy‟s work and was able to
pass many of his programs.

America being independent and free from that point
forward.

world peace.”
27. Who Said It?!
Answer:
7. Jefferson Davis. After Abraham Lincoln was elected
President of the United States, 7 southern states
seceded from America and elected Jefferson Davis as

defining moment in the Civil Rights movement, which
called for an end to racism in the United States of
America.

Answer:
11. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 18 of the Constitution. This was
written to give the power to congress to make and review all
laws which are to be passed by the government and all
powers related to it. This was a very controversial issue at
first, but by the creation of this, Congress was able to pass all
laws necessary and proper for carrying out the enumerated
list of powers and the ability to set criterion for laws, even if
they are not included in the guidelines of the proposal. This
created a balance of powers and is still used today in many
laws being passed. (EX. Chartering of the Bank of the United
States)
37. Who Said It?!
Answer:
12. 1620 Mayflower Compact. This was a mutual

Answer:
13. A slogan popular in 1846, especially among Democrats, who asserted U.S.
ownership of the entire Oregon country, including the part that Great Britain
claimed between 49° and 54° 40 prime; N latitude. In 1844 James K. Polk
(1795–1849) used "Fifty-four forty or fight" to rally supporters in his
successful presidential campaign. Two years after Polk took office as
president he settled the dispute with Great Britain; the boundary was then
set at 49 degrees north, the northern boundary of present-day Washington
State and the border between the United States and Canada. This
agreement, which was reached without the fight Polk threatened in his
slogan, gave the United States control over land lying between 42 and 49
degrees north latitude.
41. Who Said It?!

actually happened until President Nixon took the US off
of the gold standard in the 1970‟s.
45. Who Said It?!

this is where and “Arsenal of Democracy” came about to
be used.
51. Who Said It?!
Answer:
19. Abraham Lincoln. This was said during Abraham

help towards everyone.
53. Who Said It?!

20. George Washington. Washington used this quote in his
Farewell Address in 1796. Washington did not want to
have any alliances with other nations because he
believed that alliances lead to war and obscure conflicts.
The United States was young at the time, and its military
was not yet fully developed, so Washington was trying to
provide safety by not having an alliance with another
nation.
55. Who Said It?!
Answer:
21. Andrew Jackson. Jackson used this quote after the
case of Worcester v. Georgia. In the case, chief justice
John Marshall ruled that no state could annex another
land. Jackson did not agree with this ruling, so he took
the land anyway.

77. Who Said It?!
Answer:
32. James K. Polk. Polk said this quote on December 2,
1845 while he was reaffirming the Monroe Doctrine.
Because the Monroe Doctrine only pertained to
European nations not allowed to settle or colonize the
Western Hemisphere, Polk reaffirmed the Doctrine by
adding that Europeans were not allowed to interfere with
any American expansion. This quote allowed Americans
to embrace manifest destiny with ease.
78. Who Said It?!

Answer:
33. Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln said this quote on January 1,
1863 in his Emancipation Proclamation. Lincoln said this
during his presidency which also took place during the

slaves; this quote alone finally declared that all slaves
would have the opportunity to become free citizens of
the United States.
81. Who Said It?!
Answer:
34. The Founding Fathers. The Founding Fathers included
this quote in the Preamble to the United States
Constitution. This quote is significant because it formed

85. Who Said It?!
Answer:
36. Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie said this quote in
relevance to philanthropy. Carnegie was a very wealthy
man thanks to his Steel Company, but he strongly
believed that people with wealth should donate to those
in need. This is significant because many wealthy men
at this time were greedy and kept the wealth for
themselves which they gained from their corrupt
businesses, but Carnegie did the opposite.
86. Who Said It?!
Question:
37. "The advance of the frontier has meant a
steady movement away from the influence of
Europe, a steady growth of independence on
American lines. And to study the advance... is
to study the really American part of our
history."
87. Who Said It?!

historical significance to America‟s manifest destiny.
89. Who Said It?!

38. Samuel Morse. This quote was the first message that
Morse ever sent on his invention of Morse Code. This
quote was significant because it said what God has

form of almost instantaneous communication which both
created the idea and motivated the push towards other
forms of long distance communication.
91. Who Said It?!
Answer:
39. Ronald Reagan. Reagan said this quote during his
Inaugural Address on January 20, 1981. This quote is
significant because Reagan formally addressed
government as the problem in America. His presidency
came after a time when many presidents had failed the
nation, and the trust between the public and government
was diminished. By beginning his presidency with
addressing the problems within the government,
Reagan‟s popularity increased and the process of
reconciling both the government and public began.
93. Who Said It?!
Answer:
40. Betty Friedan. Friedan said this quote in an interview
with Life magazine in 1963; she was a strong feminist
who advocated for women‟s equality. This quote was
