Theodore Roosevelt (sep 14, 1901 – nov 1, 1908)

Description:

Republican Party

His legacy would mark the end of the Gilded Age. He proposed the Square Deal which composed of three C's:

He was known as the trustbuster. He wanted to get rid of "bad" trusts and keep the "good" trusts. For example, he ordered his justice department to break up the Northern Securities Company, which became Northern Securties v. United States.
