Square Deal
Roosevelt sought to mediate a compromise between the power and influence of big business, and the needs of the average American citizen. The square deal sought to dissolve monopoly enterprises, and provide greater legal recourse for labor unions. Roosevelt earned the nickname "Trust Buster", for his work in breaking up trusts. He also acted as a champion of the average citizen by standardized railroad rates, and the regulation of food and drugs. -
