INTRODUCTION SLIDE • • • • • • • On this slide you want to have an introduction just as you would for a paper Make sure you have a minimum of 100 words on every slide and a citation as well • Every slide in this example has a minimum of 100 words (this does not include the title and reference slide though) Thesis is still needed You can use bullet points but if so make sure you give full information and not short choppy sentences (unless using the notes section. See next slide for more details) Make sure you are not including any first or second person statements • • • You do not want to have statements such as “in this presentation I will…” You also do not want to just state as a thesis, “this presentation will discuss/cover…” Also leave out statements with I, me, my, we, our, us, you, etc. Please be sure to proof read your work, checking for grammar and spelling errors When you save your presentation please save it as your first name.your last name.legacy INTRODUCTION CONT. • Although the assignment guideline states to use the notes section, I actually do not require this • • • • • • • All information can just be placed on the slide itself, without using the notes If you do use the note section the entire minimum word requirement must be met in the notes section • You cannot have a combination of words on the slide and notes section to reach the minimum word requirement • For example 20 words in the slide in bullet point format and then 80 words in the notes section If you use the notes section your citations must be in the notes section If using the notes section you must use bullet points on the slide. • Do not have a paragraph of information on the slide and then a paragraph of information in the notes If you need multiple slides for one topic that is fine (just as I have done with the introduction slide), but remember every slide must have the minimum word requirement You will need to have a minimum of five slides after the title and introduction slides (but before the reference slide) The next five slides must be covered and I suggest presenting them in order: • • • • • Regulation of business Greater democracy Conservationism Rise of professionalism Prohibition NEEDED AND NOT NEEDED • • • • • Please be creative with your presentation • Use the design feature in PowerPoint to add some flare to your work • Proper citations are a must on every slide Three sources listed on a separate reference slide are a requirement 100 word minimum on every slide • • White slides with blocks of paragraphs can be boring and difficult to read Title of slide and citations do not count towards the 100 word minimum Pictures are great but they are not a requirement If you do add pictures please know that this may hinder you from being able to upload into the assignment submission link • Your work must be below 10MB to be uploaded REGULATION OF BUSINESS • For this slide you want to discuss what was done to regulate (reign in) the Captains of Industry and their monopolies • • • • Now we are discussing how the government began putting limits on these men/businesses Check out the Writing Assignment Question in the DQ 1 titled Regulation of Business for help with this slide • Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson were three presidents persistent in creating regulations on business. How did each of these presidents achieve this? (Chapter 19-3a-c pages 362-364) Remember you must include at least one citation on every slide • • • Remember we discussed these men and businesses in week 4 and we discussed how they created their business. A citation is needed for all paraphrased information, but you also need a citation for sentences containing numerical values, dates, and/or information not well known Use the formatting that you would within a paper, for example (Schultz, 2016) Do not include any quotes on any slide for this presentation, you must paraphrase everything! GREATER DEMOCRACY • • • For this slide you are discussing democracy during the Progressive Era • Check out the Writing Assignment Question in the DQ 1 titled Democracy for help with this slide: • What three changes were made to the election and voting processes during the Progressive Era? Why were these important? (Chapter 19-2a, 19-4 pages 361 and 365) Remember you must include at least one citation on every slide • • • If you jump back to discussing democracy as we did in week 3 with Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, you will not score well for this section A citation is needed for all paraphrased information, but you also need a citation for sentences containing numerical values, dates, and/or information not well known Use the formatting that you would within a paper, for example (Schultz, 2016) Do not include any quotes on any slide for this presentation, you must paraphrase everything! CONSERVATIONISM • For this slide you need to discuss conservationism, and I really recommend that you do not do a Google search on this or you will be given the wrong information. Instead of conservationism you will receive results for conservatism (these two are not the same) • • • Check out the Writing Assignment Question in the DQ 1 titled Conservationism for help with this slide: • Name something Theodore Roosevelt did to conserve wilderness and why is this significant? (Chapter 19-3a pages 362-363) Remember you must include at least one citation on every slide • • • Give who was involved and what they specifically did A citation is needed for all paraphrased information, but you also need a citation for sentences containing numerical values, dates, and/or information not well known Use the formatting that you would within a paper, for example (Schultz, 2016) Do not include any quotes on any slide for this presentation, you must paraphrase everything! RISE OF PROFESSIONALISM • • For this slide you want to discuss how the Progressive Era started the process of professionalism. You need to cover not only what Progressives did within federal work, but also what changed with other jobs as well (use the textbook and the additional source that I provide) Check out the Writing Assignment Questions in the DQ 1 titled Professionalism 1 and 2nd Professionalism for help with this slide: • • • How were certain jobs made more professional during this time? Reference: Brinkley, A. (2015). American history . NYC:NY:McGraw-Hill. Remember you must include at least one citation on every slide • • • What is cronyism? How did Progressives attempt to end this? How did this assist in making a more professional government? (Chapter 19-2b pages 361-362) A citation is needed for all paraphrased information, but you also need a citation for sentences containing numerical values, dates, and/or information not well known Use the formatting that you would within a paper, for example (Schultz, 2016) Do not include any quotes on any slide for this presentation, you must paraphrase everything! PROHIBITION • • • For this slide you want to discuss prohibition • Check out the Writing Assignment Question in the DQ 1 titled Prohibition for help with this slide: • What was prohibition? How did it start? How did it end? (Chapter 21-2b pages 402-403) Remember you must include at least one citation on every slide • • • You need to make sure you are giving what started this, what law was put in place, what happened, what law was put in place to enforce, and the law that ended prohibition A citation is needed for all paraphrased information, but you also need a citation for sentences containing numerical values, dates, and/or information not well known Use the formatting that you would within a paper, for example (Schultz, 2016) Do not include any quotes on any slide for this presentation, you must paraphrase everything! REFERENCES • • • On the last slide you must include all references that you used You need to have a minimum of at least three sources listed Please make sure you are following proper formatting for all references and including a hyperlink if your source is found in the GCU online library or a website • • • The only time you do not need a hyperlink is if you are using a pdf that I provide or you physically have the source in your hand Sources I recommend using that I provide: • • Brinkley, A.

The content lacks a clear point of view and logical sequence of information. Includes little persuasive information. Sequencing of ideas is unclear. Presentation is less than 5 slides. No outside sources are cited. The layout is cluttered, confusing, and does not use spacing, headings, and subheadings to enhance the readability.

Poor use of headings, subheadings, indentations, or bold formatting is evident. Inappropriate word choice and lack of variety in language use are evident. Writer appears to be unaware of audience.

Presentation is at least 5 slides. At least three relevant, scholarly sources are cited in a loosely connected, vague way. The layout uses horizontal and vertical white space appropriately. Sometimes the fonts are easy to read, but in a few places the use of fonts, italics, bold, long paragraphs, color, or busy background detracts and does not enhance readability.

Antislavery Letter by Member of the Liberty Party (next page) The Freedmen’s Bureau Act of 1865 March 3, 1865 CHAP. XC.—An Act to establish a Bureau for the Relief of Freedmen and Refugees. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That there is hereby established in the War Department, to continue during the present war of rebellion, and for one year thereafter, a bureau of refugees, freedmen, and abandoned lands, to which shall be committed, as hereinafter provided, the supervision and management of all abandoned lands, and the control of all subjects relating to refugees and freedmen from rebel states, or from any district of country within the territory embraced in the operations of the army, under such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the head of the bureau and approved by the President. The said bureau shall be under the management and control of a commissioner to be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, whose compensation shall be three thousand dollars per annum, and such number of clerks as may be assigned to him by the Secretary of War, not exceeding one chief clerk, two of the fourth class, two of the third class, and five of the first class. And the commissioner and all persons appointed under this act, shall, before entering upon their duties, take the oath of office prescribed in an act entitled "An act to prescribe an oath of office, and for other purposes," approved July second, eighteen hundred and sixty-two, and the commissioner and the chief clerk shall, before entering upon their duties, give bonds to the treasurer of the United States, the former in the sum of fifty thousand dollars, and the latter in the sum of ten thousand dollars, conditioned for the faithful discharge of their duties respectively, with securities to be approved as sufficient by the Attorney-General, which bonds shall be filed in the office of the first comptroller of the treasury, to be by him put in suit for the benefit of any injured party upon any breach of the conditions thereof. SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That the Secretary of War may direct such issues of provisions, clothing, and fuel, as he may deem needful for the immediate and temporary shelter and supply of destitute and suffering refugees and freedmen and their wives and children, under such rules and regulations as he may direct. SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, That the President may, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoint an assistant commissioner for each of the states declared to be in insurrection, not exceeding ten in number, who shall, under the direction of the commissioner, aid in the execution of the provisions of this act; and he shall give a bond to the Treasurer of the United States, in the sum of twenty thousand dollars, in the form and manner prescribed in the first section of this act. Each of said commissioners shall receive an annual salary of two thousand five hundred dollars in full compensation for all his services. And any military officer may be detailed and assigned to duty under this act without increase of pay or allowances. The commissioner shall, before the commencement of each regular session of congress, make full report of his proceedings with exhibits of the state of his accounts to the President, who shall communicate the same to congress, and shall also make special reports whenever required to do so by the President or either house of congress; and the assistant commissioners shall make quarterly reports of their proceedings to the commissioner, and also such other special reports as from time to time may be required. SEC. 4. And be it further enacted, That the commissioner, under the direction of the President, shall have authority to set apart, for the use of loyal refugees and freedmen, such tracts of land within the insurrectionary states as shall have been abandoned, or to which the United States shall have acquired title by confiscation or sale, or otherwise, and to every male citizen, whether refugee or freedman, as aforesaid, there shall be assigned not more than forty acres of such land, and the person to whom it was so assigned shall be protected in the use and enjoyment of the land for the term of three years at an annual rent not exceeding six per centum upon the value of such land, as it was appraised by the state authorities in the year eighteen hundred and sixty, for the purpose of taxation, and in case no such appraisal can be found, then the rental shall be based upon the estimated value of the land in said year, to be ascertained in such manner as the commissioner may by regulation prescribe. At the end of said term, or at any time during said term, the occupants of any parcels so assigned may purchase the land and receive such title thereto as the United States can convey, upon paying therefor the value of the land, as ascertained and fixed for the purpose of determining the annual rent aforesaid. SEC. 5. And be it further enacted, That all acts and parts of acts inconsistent with the provisions of this act, are hereby repealed. APPROVED, March 3, 1865.

"And now," said Legree, "come here, you Tom. You see I telled ye I didn't buy ye jest for the common work; I mean to promote ye and make a driver of ye; and tonight ye may jest as well begin to get yer hand in. Now, ye jest take this yer gal and flog her; ye've seen enough on't to know how." "I beg Mas'r's pardon," said Tom, "hopes Mas'r won't set me at that. It's what I an't used to--never did--and can't do, no way possible." "Ye'll larn a pretty smart chance of things ye never did know before I've done with ye!" said Legree, taking up a cowhide and striking Tom a heavy blow across the cheek, and following up the infliction by a shower of blows. "There!" he said, as he stopped to rest, "now will ye tell me ye can't do it?" "Yes, Mas'r," said Tom, putting up his hand to wipe the blood that trickled down his face. "I'm willin' to work night and day, and work while there's life and breath in me, but this yer thing I can't feel it right to do; and, Mas'r, I never shall do it--never!" Tom had a remarkably smooth, soft voice, and a habitually respectful manner that had given Legree an idea that he would be cowardly and easily subdued. When he spoke these last words, a thrill of amazement went through everyone; the poor woman clasped her hands and said, "O Lord!" and everyone involuntarily looked at each other and drew in their breath, as if to prepare for the storm that was about to burst. Legree looked stupefied and confounded; but at last burst forth-"What! ye blasted black beast! tell me ye don't think it right to do what I tell ye! What have any of you cussed cattle to do with thinking what's right? I'll put a stop to it! Why, what do ye think ye are? May be ye think ye're a gentleman, master Tom, to be a telling your master what's right and what an't! So you pretend it's wrong to flog the gal!" "I think so, Mas'r," said Tom, "the poor crittur's sick and feeble; 't would be downright cruel, and it's what I never will do, not begin to. Mas'r, if you mean to kill me, kill me; but as to my raising my hand agin anyone here, I never shall-I'll die first!" Tom spoke in a mild voice but with a decision that could not be mistaken. Legree shook with anger; his greenish eyes glared fiercely and his very whiskers seemed to curl with passion; but, like some ferocious beast that plays with its victim before he devours it, he kept back his strong impulse to proceed to immediate violence and broke out into bitter raillery. "Well, here's a pious dog, at last, let down among us sinners!--a saint, a gentleman, and no less, to talk to us sinners about our sins! Powerful, holy crittur, he must be! Here, you rascal, you make believe to be so pious--didn't you never hear out of yer Bible, 'Servants, obey yer masters'? An't I yer master? Didn't I pay down $1,200 cash for all there is inside yer old cussed black shell? An't yer mine, now, body and soul?" he said, giving Tom a violent kick with his heavy boot. "Tell me!" In the very depth of physical suffering, bowed by brutal oppression, this question shot a gleam of joy and triumph through Tom's soul. He suddenly stretched himself up, and, looking earnestly to heaven, while the tears and blood that flowed down his face mingled, he exclaimed-"No! no! no! my soul an't yours, Mas'r! You haven't bought it--ye can't buy it! It's been bought and paid for by one that is able to keep it--no matter, no matter, you can't harm me!" "I can't!" said Legree, with a sneer, "we'll see--we'll see! Here, Sambo, Quimbo, give this dog such a breakin' in as he won't get over this month!" The two gigantic Negroes that now laid hold of Tom, with fiendish exultation in their faces, might have formed no unapt personification of the powers of darkness. The poor woman screamed with apprehension and all arose as by a general impulse while they dragged him unresisting from the place. . . . Credits: Harriet Beecher Stowe, Uncle Tom's Cabin (Boston: J.

INTRODUCTION
➢The progressive era refers to a period in the U.S. history (1890s-1920) that was characterized by
intense political and social reforms that aimed to make society better.

➢Brinkley (2015) indicates that the key objective of this movement was to address social problems
caused by industrialization, immigration, and political corruption.

➢Progressivism started as a movement within communities, cities and states to improve society.
Gradually, the movement spread across the nation where progressivists began addressing issues
such as rights of labor, women suffrage, and racial equality (Brinkley, 2015).

➢At the beginning of the early twentieth century, reformers sought to harness the federal
government’s power to reduce corruption, prevent unethical business practices, and lessen the
negative impact of industrialization.

➢Therefore, progressivism impacted regulation of business, democracy, conservationism,
professionalism, and prohibition.

REGULATION OF BUSINESS
➢One form of variety of progressivism that emerged was antimonopoly: concern for concentration of power and
the need to limit and disperse authority and wealth. This was a populist impulse to workers and middle-class
Americans who pressed the government to regulate trust at both state and national levels.

➢President Theodore Roosevelt was the first American president to be involved in economic affairs. In 1902, he
instructed the Justice Department to invoke the Sherman Antitrust Act because the act’s language was vague and
laws were not enforced adequately.

➢Under President Roosevelt’s leadership, an antitrust law was brought against J.P. Morgan’s Northern Securities
Company’s and the Supreme Court decided that the corporation should be dissolved. The court found out the
company had violated Sherman’s Antitrust Act. This decision led to other key trusts being declared in sugar,
tobacco, and beef industries, prompting the regulation of other companies.

➢Brinkley (2015) states that President Roosevelt filed other 40 antitrust suits during his tenure.

REGULATION OF BUSINESS CONT.
➢William Howard Taft assumed the presidency in 1909 because Roosevelt trusted him as well as progressive
reformers believed in him (Brinkley, 2015).

➢However, progressive reformers resented his passivity when congressional Old Guard opposed the move to
lower protective tariff rates. Taft’s presidency saw the initiation of more than 90 antitrust laws as a strategy
to fighting unfair business monopolies (Brinkley, 2015).

➢Woodrow Wilson was a bold and tactful president who exerted authority on his cabinet and loyalists.
➢In 1914, President Wilson introduced two measures that would later prevent monopoly in business. He
created a federal regulatory agency under the Federal Trade Commission Act that helped businesses
determine in advance of their actions would be accepted by the government (Schultz, 2016).

➢ He also created the Clayton Antitrust Act to strengthen existing deregulation measures and prevent unfair
business practices. This act was against price discrimination, interlocking directorates, and tie-in-contracts.
