More than half 0f the sites in question were created or expanded by Obama, actions that Trump described as a "massive federal land grab ” that "never should have happened. ” With that, the 45th President started a new chapter ⅲ a bitter dispute that has been brewing since 1906 , when Teddy Roosevelt first used the Antiquities Act tO protect a monolithic rock in Wyoming called Devils Tower. He ultimately declared 18 national monuments, which legally must contain objects of"historic or scientific ” interest, limiting development ⅲ places like Northern California's Muir W00ds and South Dakota's JeweI Cave. Since then, Presidents from b0th par- ties have declared 157 national mon- uments, covering everything from a battlefield in Montana to an Afri- can burial s ite in downtown Manhat- tan.
