Roosevelt and Taft served 26th and 27th
President of the U.S, respectively. Roosevelt sought to regulate trusts, and
that included prosecuting big businesses that restrained trade and charged
unfair prices, stamp out corruption, and also increased prestige of the U.S.
Taft, the successor, continued anti-trust policies but failed to exhibit in the
area of Civil Rights. Taft would not appoint African Americans to federal jobs,
unlike Roosevelt.
