| After the Civil War the United States began to rely heavily on natural resources like coal, timber, and oil. Theodore Roosevelt saw that Americans had been using natural resources at an alarming rate that could not only not be sustained but that was also leaving major marks on the environment. Roosevelt felt strongly that the environment needed to be protected and preserved so that it would remain for generations to come so in his second term as president Roosevelt tackled the issue of the environment as a major part of his Square Deal. Roosevelt passed many laws to protect America from the harm that some business's had been inflicting. More Information |
