 * V. In class today: Material left over from last class session:**


 * New Nationalism**

Motto of the Theodore Roosevelt presidency
 * TR believed government should direct national affairs
 * Government should coordinate and regulate big business
 * Government should not destroy big business.
 * Government should act as an umpire.
 * Roosevelt was a Republican, party of big business.

He was thus in an awkward position.

Theodore Roosevelt, "The New Nationalism," address, 1910 http://nationalhumanitiescenter.org/pds/gilded/power/text10/text10read.htm

Obama comparison to TR speech (Washington Post) http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obama-invokes-teddy-roosevelt-in-speech-attacking-gop-policies/2011/12/06/gIQAEf3yaO_story.html


 * Regulation of trusts**

Major issue in the Roosevelt presidency
 * Industrialization had led to a concentration of great power.
 * Large–scale business combinations were then called "trusts";

Today we would call them conglomerates or multinationals.
 * By 1904, for example, trusts controlled much of American business:

6 large financial groups dominated the railroad industry; Rockefeller's Standard Oil owned 85% of the oil business.
 * No one really clear on how to deal with trusts:

Let trusts alone since big business is an inevitable part of progress Distinguish between good and bad trusts Regulate good trusts (if so, who should be the regulators) Break up bad trusts into smaller companies. Theodore Roosevelt sought to regulate the abuses of the worst trusts—the railroads, oil companies, and the meatpacking monopolies. We still do not have a solution. We vary between regulation and deregulation

1. In 1890, the US census declared the frontier "closed."

2. Many in America began to believe we had to expand abroad.

3. Great powers measured their greatness by the colonies they acquired.

4. Britain, Germany, and France divided up Africa. They wanted to carve up Asia as well.


 * Alfred Thayer Mahan**

Video: Alfred T. Mahan (1:11) []

Alfred Thayer Mahan's //The Influence of Sea Power upon History// (Historian of the State Department) []

Mahan was for many years the President of the Naval War College.

Mahan's argument ran as follows:

~National greatness and prosperity depended on naval power. ~Mahan urged the Navy to shift from wood construction to steel ~Overproduction: In the US, more produced than domestic market could absorb. ~Hence, overseas markets needed to dispose of surplus ~Overseas markets implied distant ports ~Reaching distant ports required large merchant marine ~Merchant marine needed protection of powerful navy ~Ships needed coaling stations and repair yards ~Coaling stations implied secure stops: colonies ~Canal across Panama needed to link East coast with Pacific Ocean

1. In 1820, the first American missionaries arrived.

2. Their offspring became powerful sugar planters in Hawaii.

3. By 1875, a treaty between the U.S. and Hawaii tightened the links between the two:

a. Allowed Hawaiian sugar to enter the U.S. free of customs duties; b. Required Hawaiian monarchy to make no territorial or economic concessions to other countries.

4. In 1890 McKinley Tariff ended special status given to Hawaiian sugar.

5. By this time, Caucasian Americans owned three–quarters of the islands' wealth, though they represented a mere 2.1 percent of the population.

6. In 1891, a strongly nationalistic Queen Liliuokalani ascended to the throne and tried to restore greater power to Hawaiian natives.

Music written by the Queen:

Queen Lili'uokalani - Aloha'Oe []

Queen Liliuokalani March []

7. In 1893, Americans overthrew Queen Liliuokalani, set up a provisional government, and asked to become an American state—so that their sugar would be classified as domestic and would avoid tariffs.

Hawaiian Monarchy Overthrown by America-Backed Businessmen (New York Times) []

8. Annexation of Hawaii to the United States took place in 1898 during the Spanish–American War

 * VI. In class today: new material **


 * LABOR**

Video: Workers and labor unions (6:00) https://youtu.be/l_tE26TUNgc


 * Changing status of labor**
 * Industrialization changed the nature of work
 * Power of employers increased
 * Worker independence and self-respect declined
 * Industrial workers were employees rather than crafts persons
 * Robot-like tasks made them feel like machines.
 * Emphasis on quantity over quality dehumanized the workplace
 * Workers resisted these trends
 * Worker resistance only led employers to tighten restrictions

Iron law of wages
 * Employees paid according to conditions of supply and demand.
 * Employers would set wages as low as possible

At a level where some persons would accept the work

Companies hired women and children to further cut costs
 * Prevailing free–market views stifled protective legislation for workers
 * Employers denied responsibility for employees' well–being.
 * Repetitive work decreased concentration and caused industrial accidents.

Child Labor in America, 1908-1912 (History Place) http://www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/childlabor/index.html

Video: Child Labor in the Industrial Revolution (Sound Smart) https://youtu.be/ejc8oDOcN_o

No workers' comp at the time. If you got hurt, tough luck.
 * Is beating down the worker a prerequisite for industrialization? Should we care how Thailand runs its factories today?
 * Courts reinforced iron law of wages

Denied workers the right to bargain collectively Wages a private negotiation b/n employee & employer.


 * THE UNION MOVEMENT**

Out of frustration, some workers began to participate in unions Unionization efforts took various directions

 * V.** **A note about my approach to our material**

I don't want you to think I'm just reading to you when we go over an article. I want you to practice an important skill: close reading. I pick short, tightly-written articles. It is tempting for all of us to merely skim them. But the meat of our course is in these articles. So rather than me lecturing or doing power points, I am developing the material through the close reading of the articles. A great advantage for you is to be able to reread the article to review for our exams.

I have debated whether a) to push forward with new material (by assuming you watched each video carefully and understood the implications of what is contained in each video or b) to go a bit slower and review the videos in class, commenting on them as we go along.
