Summary:

This module invites students to follow muckraker Upton Sinclair into
the political maelstrom caused by his 1905 investigation, The Jungle,
whose lurid account of tainted meats and murderous working conditions
inside the nation’s massive new meatpacking factories revolted and
shocked the American public. When the outcry was taken up by
President Theodore Roosevelt, the scandal evolved into a crucial
proving ground for Roosevelt’s vision of a federal government equal
to powerful trusts such as the meatpackers. Students will use
newspaper articles, editorial cartoons, Jungle excerpts, Roosevelt
letters and speeches, and Congressional testimony to investigate the
enactment of the nation’s first comprehensive food inspection
legislation.
