The federal government responded to Upton Sinclair's The Jungle by passing the Meat Inspection Act of 1906.


Upton Sinclair's book The Jungle discussed the unsanitary conditions of the meat packing industry in Chicago during the early 1900's. Even though this book was fiction, it was based on real conditions individuals worked in during this era. This book caused outrage among American citizens and the federal government, resulting in government regulation of certain industries.

Answer: Congress passed legislation that regulated the meat-packing industry only after sending a team of government investigators to plants and slaughterhouses.

Explanation:

Upton Sinclair´s novel depicted the severe conditions and exploitaition of immigrants in Chicago and oter industrialized cities. However, it unexpectedly contributed to public outcry about health violations in the American meatpacking industry. President Roosevelt assigned labor commissioner Charles P. Neill and social worker James Bronson Reynolds to make unannounced visits to meat packing buildings. Neill and Reynolds´s report led Roosevelt to support the regulation of the meatpacking industry and sign the Meat Inspection Act of 1906.

Manifest destiny is the belief that Americans should own land from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. The US went through several hardships to own all of this land, but as Americans, we want our freedom and rights to be as profitable and reach as many people as possible. I think it enables people to realize that we are a free- country with many possibilities and rights that others may or may not have. We are determined. 

I hope this helps!
