Teddy Roosevelt's Square Deal

The video explores the concept of a fair transaction and its connection to U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt. During the Industrial Revolution, the economic disparity between the rich and the poor widened, leading to the rise of progressivism. Roosevelt, a proponent of this movement, introduced the Square Deal, a series of policies aimed at corporate regulation, consumer protection, and conservation. These reforms significantly altered the U.S. landscape, supporting workers' rights and establishing national parks, with effects that persist today.
