Meat inspection act by rosalba and maria
The Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1906 was passed after Upton Sinclair's book "The Jungle" exposed unsanitary conditions in the meatpacking industry. The act required all meat sold in the US to be inspected for quality and banned diseased or unsanitary meat from the market. It also prohibited pork imports from Europe and mandated that imported meats be inspected according to US standards. The law aimed to protect public health and ensure consumers were eating healthy, disease-free meat.

Roosevelt pursued a progressive agenda known as the "Square Deal" focused on conservation, regulating big business, and consumer protection. He filed antitrust suits like against Northern Securities to break up large trusts. The Bureau of Corporations was formed to investigate businesses and ensure fair practices. Roosevelt signed acts establishing the Food and Drug Administration and expanding national parks and forests to conserve natural resources for future generations. His presidency expanded the power of the executive branch and role of the federal government.

The document provides summaries of key terms and events in US history from the 19th Amendment granting women's suffrage to Brown v. Board of Education ending school segregation to social programs like Social Security and Medicare. It covers political documents and court cases, economic and social movements, and events from the colonial period through the 20th century that shaped American society and government.
The revolution begins
The tensions between the colonies and Great Britain led to armed conflict in 1775. The First Continental Congress demanded rights from Britain. Armed conflict broke out at Lexington and Concord with the "shot heard 'round the world." The Second Continental Congress created the Continental Army to fight the British and named George Washington as Commander. Many colonists supported independence after Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" was published.
Patriots
The Patriots were the Americans who rebelled against British control during the American Revolutionary War in the late 1700s. They declared independence from Britain in 1776 and used the slogan "No Taxation without Representation" to protest unfair taxation by the British Parliament. Famous Patriots included Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, George Washington, the commander of American forces, and Benjamin Franklin, who helped organize the Continental Congress and negotiate the peace treaty after the war. Though at a disadvantage, the Patriots ultimately prevailed against the British and won independence for the United States.

Johnson played a key role in Reconstruction policies as president. Two major causes of difficulties during this period were the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves against the wishes of many white southerners, and the 14th Amendment, which granted citizenship to freed slaves and forbade states from denying them rights, causing further tensions.

United States History Ch. 14 Section 2 Notes
This document summarizes the early involvement of the United States in World War II in Europe. It describes Franklin Roosevelt's initially neutral foreign policy and the debate between isolationists and interventionists. As German aggression continued across Europe, the US began providing more support to the Allies through cash-and-carry and lend-lease programs, though Americans remained divided on direct engagement. Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 ended the debate and brought the US fully into the war against the Axis Powers.
Progressives in Government
Teddy Roosevelt served as President from 1901-1909. As a "trustbuster," he filed numerous antitrust lawsuits to break up large monopolies and ensure fair competition. He intervened in a major coal strike in 1902 to negotiate an agreement that increased miners' pay and established the right to unionize. Roosevelt also established many regulations and consumer protections relating to railroads, food and drugs, and the environment.
The progressive era
The Progressive Era was a period of social activism and political reform in the United States that spanned from the 1890s to the 1920s. Caused by cultural decline, muckrakers exposing issues, and economic changes from industrialization, progressives fought for reforms addressing issues like corruption, child labor, women's suffrage, and prohibition. Key leaders included Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Robert LaFollette. Roosevelt proposed a New Nationalism with trust busting and consumer protections. Wilson advocated a New Freedom through antitrust acts and the Federal Reserve. Women and African Americans also led important reform movements during this era of social change.

Herbert Hoover was president from 1929-1933, but the stock market crash occurred 8 months into his term and his preference for individualism over government assistance exacerbated the Depression.
End of WWI
World War I ended in 1918 with Germany's surrender after facing troubles on the home front and with the entry of American troops. In 1919, the Allied Powers met at the Paris Peace Conference to determine the post-war settlement.

However, the treaty was controversial and rejected in some countries, failing to achieve a lasting peace and sowing resentment in Germany that allowed Hitler to rise to power and start World War II.

As the war continued, tensions rose due to attacks on U.S. merchant ships by German U-boats and the publication of the Zimmerman Telegram. Public opinion began to shift in favor of entering the war, and in April 1917 President Wilson asked Congress for a declaration of war against Germany. U.S. involvement helped strengthen the Allies as Russia withdrew from the war, leaving the Western Front as Germany's sole battleground.
