How did henry ford bring Hitlers views to the United States?
The most controversial and least admirable aspect of Fords career was his descent into antiSemitism. Henry Ford did not bring Hitlers anti-Semitic views to the United States. Unfortunately these opinions were fairly widely held in the 1800s and early 1900s. Convinced that bankers and the Jews were responsible for a whole range of things he didnt like, from the World War (World War I) to short skirts to jazz music, Ford used his newspaper, the Dearborn Independent, to carry on an anti-Semitic campaign. Between 1920 and 1922 a series of articles denounced all things Jewish. While officially apologizing for the articles in 1927, Ford never really gave up his anti-Jewish opinions.

How did he treat employees and his son over time and why did that affect his companies?
Ford probably felt he was helping his company survive by not paying the workers more. During the 1940s, Ford agreed to allow the union. In the engineering offices, at least at the beginning, Henry Ford did allow other people to have new ideas. But over time, he was less likely to accept their ideas. The situation with his son Edsel is a perfect example of this. Even though Edsel became President of Ford Motor Company in the 1920s, and Henry Ford wasnt officially in charge any more, Henry still told everyone what to do and they did it. Edsel was a very talented designer, and he understood what customers wanted. They didnt want the Model T anymore that car came out back in 1908 and had hardly changed! But Henry thought he knew what was best. He didnt let the company produce Edsels car designs, and even had a building torn down that Edsel had started having built. Eventually they did produce Edsels design, the Model A, and consumers like it. But Henry and Edsel had a tough relationship, which Henry came to regret when Edsel died at a relatively young age (49). So in this instance, the way he treated the engineering staff/his son probably hurt the company.

What is his legacy?

Henry Ford laid the foundation of the twentieth century (the 1900s). The assembly line became the way everything was made, eventually applied to everything from phonographs to hamburgers. The war material (weapons, planes, etc.) turned out on those assembly lines were crucial to the Allied victory in World War II. High wage, low skilled factory jobs pioneered by Ford increased both immigration from overseas and the movement of Americans from the farms to the cities. The same jobs also helped those people move into the growing middle class. While Ford definitely did not intend it, the creation of huge numbers of low skilled workers gave rise in the 1930s to industrial unionism as a potent social and political force. The Model T made almost everyone auto-mobile, altering where and how we lived, what did for fun, our landscape, even our atmosphere.
