Answer:

D. break up big businesses monopolies

Explanation:

Roosevelt was in favor of a strong federal power, capable of regulating the economic activity of the country. He attacked large private companies and his economic policy was against monopoly, which he accused of obtaining enormous benefits to the detriment of consumers, and initiates proceedings against the large capitalists of the railroad, oil and agri-food industry. The formal start of this crusade against industrial trusts occurs in a long speech of more than 30 pages that he gives in the House of Representatives.

Theodore Roosevelt is committed to ensuring that the Sherman act is respected. It also intervenes to arbitrate the conflict between striking and employer miners; This fact allows them to get an 8-hour day and fairer wages for workers, which is called an "equitable agreement." Roosevelt belongs to the progressive current and some conflicts, such as the one that confronted banker J. P. Morgan gave him that reputation in history.

hichkok12 [17]

Answer: Yes. The support of non-Native Alaskans was an important factor which lead to the settlement of Alaska Native land claims. It is consistent with the evidence presented in this learning block.

The non-Natives Alaskans knew how the Natives Alaskans were dealt with in the Southeastern United States. They learnt from their mistakes so took a different approach when dealing with the natives from Alaska. The U.S. Courts were more sympathetic towards the natives due to past history.
