What did Teddy do?


He was a civil war General. Led a battalion during the battle of central park.

They think he was a racist? ummmm
quote:

In 1901, President Theodore Roosevelt invited African-American educator Booker T. Washington, who had become close to the president, to dine with his family at the White House. Several other presidents had invited African-Americans to meetings at the White House, but never to a meal. And in 1901, segregation was law.

News of the dinner between a former slave and the president of the United States became a national sensation. The subject of inflammatory articles and cartoons, it shifted the national conversation around race at the time.

You know I meant what did Teddy do that pisses off the virtue squad, but that was a pretty good answer.

Teddy was a great nationalist. He put America first.

He was a big game hunter and went on safari in Africa, you know how killing animals triggers folks. But he was also a great proponent of national parks.

Roosevelt's own comments regarding race indicated that he believed all the races were equal, but some cultures were superior due to their greater technological advances over time
