Upton Sinclair
Upton Sinclair
_Upton Sinclair
was a muckraker that grew up in near poverty Baltimore. He wanted there
to be an orderly society like all muckrakers did. Muckrakers were
exactly what their title said. They raked muck. Most muckrakers though
wrote books in their spare time. Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle to arouse the public of the meat packaging industry. His book was very descriptive
and it made people mad. It didn't get better working conditions like
Upton wanted but he did get meat packaging plants safer and more
healthy.
