Major Domestic Policy: Roosevelt's presidency mostly consisted of his ideas of the Square Deal. As a result of the Coal Strike 1902, he had a chance to display his attitude towards monopolies. When the owners of the monopolies refused to follow the demands of the strikers, Roosevelt threatened to take the mines. The monopolies then decided on giving the miners benefits such as a 10 percent raise. Roosevelt then looked towards the betterment of forest. With the Forest Reserve Act of 1891 Presidents now had the power to save land for National Parks and by more than 150 million acres. Also during Roosevelt's presidency was the rise of the muckrakers with famous leaders such as Lincoln Stephens, Ida Tarbell and Frank Norris. Muckrakers were now able to publish their stories in the public newspaper and to the press such as McCuler's History of the Standard Oil Company and Collier Series of Articles on Patent Medicines. With the writing of "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair, the government finally realized the unclean conditions that food was kept. Hence, the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed creating regiments on the cleanliness of food and the conditions of its locations.

Major Foreign Policy: Roosevelt's presidency consisted mostly of the pressing need for the canal across Central America. America realized this during the Spanish American War when the U.S.S. Oregon sailed from the American Coast in the West to Cuba, but by the time the ship reached Cuba, the war was finished. The canal was then opened in 1921 although it was completed before that time. Roosevelt also expanded the Monroe Doctrine in order to make new agreements with European Nations. Roosevelt's Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine stated that if America and its protectorates receive problems and complications with other Nations, then America can handle its own issues and will not need the aid from foreign Countries. Roosevelt's Corollary came into use during the Dominican Republican financial crisis, when the Dominican Republic was struck by economic instability and turmoil. European nations were more in demand financially over the Dominican Republic; America got involved and dismantled the tariffs. This then resulted happily and all debt was paid of in two years. At the time that Roosevelt discovered Russia and Japan wanted peace, he then organized a meeting in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and required Russia and Japan to compromise. This resulted with Roosevelt receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1906.

• Muller v. Oregon (1908)-The limited working hours for women was held as constitutional under the 14th Amendment because it was for protecting women's health and rights.

Intellectual and Social Developments:

• The Great industrial merger movement occurred during the 1900's as immigrants were seen occupying a majority of factory work causing an increase of deskilling and factory lines.

• The Industrial Workers of the World developed in 1905.

• Women began voicing their opinions as they sought towards social reform and the struggle for civil rights was now revitalized.

• Muckraking journalism occurred as Muckrakers began bring issues to the public.

• The United States gained the land to create the Canal in 1903.

• Roosevelt created his Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine in 1904 saying that the United States can take care of its own problems.

Roosevelt's Legacy: Roosevelt will always be known as the "trust buster" because of the fact that he was well respected in office and used his power efficiently after the assassination of McKinley. He was known as the first modern president due to his influence he has created on receiving presidency. Roosevelt helped towards gaining more power to the executive branch as he slowly eased it away from the Congress helping government. While in office, Roosevelt believed that government should government should be reformable towards all people.
