This is a two hour video in two parts about Upton Sinclair. Interviews with experts about the history of the Progressive Era, Industrial
Revolution, and labor practices are discussed through the
Writings of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. The novel'...s chief goal was to expose abusive labor conditions in the stockyards. However, in addition to doing this, the work received most of its notoriety from its descriptions of the filth of the processing plants and the ingredients of its processed meats. The book is considered by many as the final impetus for the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act. An excellent video that provides a background to the era and what "Muckrakers" did the power of the pen. Questions are taken from viewers that might be of use if previewed first.
