Forums › General Discussion › UPTON SINCLAIR-
Upton Sinclair was known as a "muckraker". a muckraker is a person who lurks around businesses to find disturbing facts about a certain company. In Sinclair's case it was meat packing and sausage making. Sinclair also wrote many books about the appalling images he saw In the meat packing business. A well known book by Upton Sinclair is called "the Jungle". The Jungle describes how Sinclair saw things like mice and rats intentionally being put into sausage production. Sinclair was a founding father of muckraking, and also shed much needed light on meat inspection.

So me and everyone in the DA is going to take u over so u better delete ur account -
Let me give you a little history: Upton is the so called leader of the DA. Add Tank, aGOATnamedCARL and DAxBenny are also big mouth members who spew their racist hostile comments on the forums and then message other players who comment. They boast of having no turf and low mob counts so they cant be capped out. If you read their comments page you will understand why the DA just needs to be banned.

Not quite. Sinclair wasn't a "founding father" of muckraking; it had been used long before, back in the Spanish-American war by two other guys (I forget their names).
And muckraking isn't just about busines. As my teacher put it, the journalists "stirred up" the little issues that had settled to the bottom of American thoughts (the stuff no one thought, knew, or cared about), and made them a big deal, encouraging reform. Like I said before, it was used in the Spanish-American war to rile up Americans to fight for Spanish colonies; the conditions weren't nearly as bad as the journalists claimed, but it gained American support for the war.

And Sinclair's goal in writing The Jungle wasn't to expose the meat packing industry for its nasty practices, it was actually to show America the terrible working conditions in the factories. However, the affect of his book was not what he'd planned. It actually received more attention for its revealing information about bad sanitation in food packing, and sparked the passage of the "Clean Food and Drug Act" and other sanitation legislation. As he said (paraphrasing) "I aimed for Americans' hearts, but hit their stomachs".
You weren't wrong, just not entirely correct.
