In the early years of this great nation we find to amazing men that wanted to preside over the United States in ways no others had attempted to do as of yet. They both had great ideas and in some ways were similar and yet others miles apart. They believed their way was gospel and this country would perish under the other so to speak. President Roosevelt was out to be our great Nationalist with a campaign based on a human welfare goal. However, Woodrow Wilson was out to be the first great Freedomist with a campaign based more on a property welfare goal. There are pros and cons from both sides when you think about it but the question is which is best for the United States and its future. It was a time for Progressivism here in the good old USA…
When we are writing about progressivism, there were three progressive presidents that were in the White House from 1901 – 1921. That was Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson. Between these three of our president together, it is said that they were very different however, they did have one thing in common reform policy and regulations in American Society. This here is about the election of 1912 when the current President Taft who was at the time said that he was not interested in a second term at heart. Theodore Roosevelt who endorsed Taft after he stepped down in 1907 became very unhappy with his actions at the White House, so decided that he would run against him however he was not…
The presidents of the roaring twenties were Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover. All of the presidents during the 1920s were republicans. They also pro-business and they felt no need to regulate businesses in American. They wanted to keep taxes down and business profits up. They helped the American manufactures by imposing a high tariff on imported goods. The economy was rolling strong during the twenties which made it easy for these presidents. They all rode the American boom into the ground. This is way the Great Depression follows the roaring twenties. Most of the historians claim that the presidents of the twenties were just mediocre. This would be a tough opinion to argue considering what is in store down the future…
Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were two of the most evil men in history, responsible for countless atrocities. They had many similarities as well. Both men committed genocide to further their political agenda, massively improved the militaries of their respective countries, had their own different groups of secret police and spies, and finally they were both tyrannical totalitarian dictators. Despite sharing many similarities, their government structure and political philosophies were very different. Adolf Hitler was a Fascist who believed in a highly centralized government with himself at the top of the pyramid. Joseph Stalin was a communist who believed in collectivism and instilling fear into his political opposition. Although there are…
Although Hitler and Stalin both employed a special police force to help control the country under their totalitarian rule, Hitler’s force relied on having secret police everywhere while Stalin relied on having individuals report their friends and coworkers. To control citizens by spying on them and imprisoning them, Hitler employed the use of the Himmler’s SS and the Gestapo political police. The SS initially started off as Hitler’s personal bodyguards, but under Himmler’s command, they evolved into a more powerful force, who were eventually responsible for the Final Solution. The Gestapo, while somewhat similar to the SS, were Hitler’s secret police, who focused on taking down any opposing political opponents, primarily those who went underground after the creation of the one party system in Germany. The Gestapo were responsible for the capture and imprisonment of most opposing political leaders in Nazi Germany. According to the book on Germany, “Denouncers and…
Theodore Roosevelt became president after President William McKinley was shot twice on September 14, 1901. He was the first of three presidents heavily referred to as the progressive presidents. The next president was President William H. Taft, who spent 4 years in office directly after Roosevelt and had many great achievements during his presidency. Lastly, President Woodrow Wilson elected in 1912 over Roosevelt and Taft. These three presidents heavily changed American government in the early 20th century.…
In 1908, William Howard Taft accepted the Republican nomination for President with the backing by his friend and the current president, Theodore Roosevelt. Taft was expected to uphold the progressive beliefs and reforms that Roosevelt has started in his presidency. Although some historians have deemed Taft an “average” president, instead, he is a champion who had many accomplishments and upheld his ethical values by firmly believing and trusting in the American judicial system. From the beginning, William Howard Taft faced many challenges. While Taft lacked the campaigning skills and ability to play to his audience as well as Roosevelt, his core values focused on his strong belief in the law.…
Born February 26, 1932, in Kingsland, Arkansas. The son of poor Southern Baptist sharecroppers, Cash, one of seven children born to Ray and Carrie Rivers Cash, moved with his family at the age of three to Dyess, Arkansas, so that his father could take advantage of the New Deal farming programs instituted by President Roosevelt. There, the Cash clan lived in a five-room house and farmed 20 acres of cotton and other seasonal crops.…

I believe that both presidents Woodrow Wilson and Donald Trump are both racist by current standards. They both did racist things while they were president, which they should have been careful about because it caused numerous issues and contempt. Racism can cause debate amongst individuals and gatherings. Presidents should offer peace and not racism to the country their giving a chance to be in control of. Every president should set a good example among their residents.…
Both former Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson term in office contributed to the increase of working class Americans. Each of the presidents was part of Progressive era, where people mattered. They both had different political views. President Roosevelt was a Republican and President Wilson was a Democrat. However, they both have had strong foreign policies to protect the United States allies. President Roosevelt built a strong Navy program and built National Parks in the United States. On the other hand, Wilson wanted to ensure authority over unions. Even though both of these presidents had different views, their aim was the same: to create a better United States.…
Almost every child has heard the phrase, "You can grow up to be president someday." And part of that rings true, but is everyone really cut out to be president? What qualifies someone to be a good president? Sadly, not everyone can be president, and a good lot of people should never be put in any type of leadership role. A president should be compassionate, intellectual, and conviction. A man who I believe has all of these qualities is president Theodore Roosevelt, throw in animal magnetism, a sharp wit, and a sparkling personality and you have one of the best presidents our country has ever seen.…

Both Roosevelt's “Four Freedoms” speech and Kennedy's inaugural address both talk about freedom. However, Roosevelt’s speech talks more about World War Two and defending liberty. Whereas Kennedy’s speech talks more about the threat of nuclear power.…
