Part 7 Due Tuesday Nov 29th- Here is the link on Taking the White House

Episode 7: Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Carnegie and Morgan have gone unmonitored for decades, but American politicians are about to change that. They want to guard against monopolies and an unbalanced use of power. The men, some lifelong enemies, come together with a play to gain influence with the White House. Their candidate, William McKinley, wins the White House and passes legislation favorable to big business. Morgan and Carnegie create U.S. Steel, the first billion-dollar company in the U.S. while Rockefeller takes control of 90 percent of North American oil.

Key terms to define

ANTI-TRUST, CAPITAL, ELITE, LUCRATIVE, NICHE, PROSPERITY, RUTHLESS

2. Why did the business tycoons put their support behind William McKinley? Were they successful?

3. What does “anti-trust” mean? Do you agree with the strategy of breaking up businesses that become very dominant in one industry?

Part 8 Due Tuesday, Dec 6th - Roosevelt takes office, Ford and his car

Episode 8: After McKinley is assassinated, Theodore Roosevelt becomes president and quickly passes a series of regulations increasing oversight of American business. Henry Ford devises the plan for a gas-powered car, and he launches the assembly line as an innovative method of production. He targets the middle class with his Model T and changes the landscape of America. The Panama Canal opens up new trade routes. Rockefeller is put on trial for anti-trust violations. He loses in court and his company, Standard Oil, is one of the first monopolies broken up by the U.S. government. J.P. Morgan helps to establish the

Federal Reserve and cements his legacy as the father of modern capitalism. He and other big business leaders become major philanthropists. As the U.S. Army sets sail for Europe in World War I, one thing is clear…these men didn’t discover America, they built it.

Key terms to define

DURABLE, MONOPOLY, PHILANTHROPY, SUPERPOWER, UTILITARIAN

Discussion Questions

1. Why was the election of President Theodore Roosevelt so significant? What were some of the major changes he made?

Part 4 for Wednesday night - Here is the video about Carnegie (2nd half)

Episode 4: Carnegie hires Henry Frick to help him achieve his goal of dominating the steel industry and besting Rockefeller. The partnership seems promising, but Frick is pushing workers to a breaking point. Meanwhile, the Johnstown Flood of 1889 leaves 2,000 people dead, and Carnegie’s South Fork Fishing& Hunting Club faces blame. Worker unrest culminates in a massive strike at the Homestead Steel plant in 1892. Violence ensues when Frick calls in the Pinkerton security agency. The strike is a major turning point in American labor history, showing how workers would fight for fair wages and conditions when faced with injustice. Carnegie is determined to make up for these scars on his reputation.
