and why? Be sure to explain the ideological differences between each of the three leaders -
include his party, plans, and priorities for reform. What did each man accomplish in the White
House? Be sure to explain specific Progressive reforms made under each leader in detail.

The time in America when people appeared who decided to take care of America and
change things was called the era of progress.
This time America has replaced three presidents Roosevelt, Wilson and Joseph.
In my opinion Roosevelt was the best president.
During Roosevelt's time many reforms were carried out both with foreign countries as
well as in America, as well as ecological reforms.
During his presidency he was prominent in regulating businesses.
He created the so-called Square Deal which was meant to promote small businesses and
protect consumers.
He also carried out a reform called Trust Busting to make the business much fairer. He
became the youngest President in the White House in the Nation’s history. He brought new
excitement and power to the Presidency, as he vigorously led Congress and the American
public toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy.
In the end I think most of his presidency at the age of young Roosevelt has locked in his
work for me was the most appreciated of them all.
