Teddy Roosevelt the Trustbuster - Big Oil - US History - Part 1 - Extra History

Support our channel by watching this video ad-free on Nebula: https://go.nebula.tv/extrahistory Theodore Roosevelt is famous for many things, but we tend to focus more on his foreign policy and his establishment of the natural parks. Not this series. We're going to take a look at how Teddy smashed up one of the biggest trusts America had ever seen: Standard Oil. But first, we have to lay out the groundwork. Who was John D Rockerfeller? What did Standard Oil do exactly that was so bad? And how did Ida Tarbell crack the story of a century? * Miss an episode in our Teddy Roosevelt Series? * Part 1 - Big Oil: https://youtu.be/reWe7POryt0 Part 2 - The Regulators: https://youtu.be/xDEibXPtIRQ Part 3 - Breaking Standard: https://youtu.be/FO_w4G_YWcE Part 4 - Trainwreck: https://youtu.be/wRlShGD4QwI Part 5 - Meat Grinder: https://youtu.be/XXos-XlCooI Series Wrap up / Lies Episode - https://youtu.be/4TRS4TiEUxE Music From the Show - "Monopolies" - https://youtu.be/K3VjxiMxhVA * Thanks for participating in this week's discussion! * Check out our community guidelines so we can have MORE high-quality conversations: https://www.extracredits.site/extra-credits-community-code-of-con * Want to support the people who make this show? * Become a Patreon Member & Vote on future Extra History episodes! http://bit.ly/EHPatreon Or show off your fandom with our merch! http://extracredits.store/ * Want more Extra Credits?
