In "When Theodore Roosevelt Saved Football", Bruce Watson enlightens us on how President Roosevelt saved the violent game of football by making it safer for the players. In the early 1900s football was a deadly sport. The players wore little protective gear, running backs could tackle before the ball was even hiked, and linemen could not pass the ball causing them to sometimes sustain fatal injuries. Many people wanted the game banned because of its fatality to the players. Harvard did but had to reinstate it because the students loved and wanted it back.
The leaders on the Union side were, Ambrose E. Burnside and William T. Sherman. For the Confederates there were Wade Hampton, and Thomas J. Jackson, also known as stonewall Jackson. Although, the Confederates had won the first battle of Bull run, they were still disorganized to pursue the Union troops. This set northerners who expected a quick victory and gave hope to the southerners that they can pull off the war after
The presidential election of 1912, was one of the most important elections in American history. The 1912 election was transformational, and challenged voters to think about their rights and the Constitution. The 1912 election was one of the biggest contests of the progressive error, during the time when the country first tried to come to terms with the profound challenges brought forth by the industrial revolution. Each of the candidates that ran for presidency during the 1912 election, tried to grapple with the emergence of big corporations in different ways.
At the age of forty-two, Theodore Roosevelt became the youngest president in American’s history. In September 1901, President William McKinley was murdered in Buffalo, New York by a deranged anarchist, which led Vice President Roosevelt to take the oath of office. Bringing new excitement and power to the office, Theodore Roosevelt led Congress and the public towards strong foreign policy and progressive reforms. Roosevelt felt like he would take any action, as president, possible as long as it was not forbidden by the laws of the Constitution. “Roosevelt believed the president should lead, boldly” (page 592).

Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt is viewed as one of the best Presidents in the United States, but how did he get such a reputation? Where did it begin from? How did he develop such character? The answer to all of these questions starts in his roots. Theodore was bred for success, from his father’s background, his education, and his moral/ethical views.

Carson Sizemore Dr. Campbell APUSH 27 January 2023 Theodore Roosevelt LEQ Throughout history, there have been 2 distinct groups of politicians: those with a strict interpretation of the Constitution and those with a loose interpretation. These groups, also known as the originalists and the pragmatists, have been the source of many debates over the years. The latter group, those with a more lenient interpretation of the Constitution, have made prevalent many aspects of governing that the Founding Fathers could not have even imagined for America through the use of implied powers. Implied powers are those which are not explicitly stated in the Constitution, yet are not explicitly prohibited either.
Theodore Roosevelt was a good President during the progressive movement because he made the Square Deal, the meat inspection act, and he supported African Americans. The goal of the progressive was to fight for women’s rights. First, Roosevelt was a good President during the progressive movement because of the Square Deal that he created.

I think Theodore Roosevelt did not set the country on an unsustainable path to ruin. It’s extremely hard to predict the future on something like what a country will turn into. Theodore Roosevelt probably didn't think about the future consequences of his decisions. I don’t blame him for that he probably thought he was doing the right thing. We can’t blame someone who’s been dead for 97 for the current economic problems.
In September 1901 Theodore Roosevelt became president when William McKinley was assassinated. He thought that the presidency was basically a “bully pulpit”. Roosevelt was “a steward of the people bound actively and affirmatively to all he could for the people” (Divine 2013, p. 546). Roosevelt tried to bridge the gap between the African Americans and the whites but most southerners believed that what he was trying to do was a crime that was equal to treason.
As a history buff, having dinner with an influential character in American History is more like a dream rather than a hypothetical question. There are so many greats and personal favorites in our history to choose from like Harper Lee, Abraham Lincoln, or Thomas Paine. Although, when I consider only choosing one American figure to have dinner with and engage in conversation about current issues, one man stands out to me: Theodore Roosevelt. I imagine dinner with him to be a night of endless entertainment and compelling conversation. We would eat old fashioned chicken fried steak with gravy and talk about the wilds days when he was cattle rancher and a deputy sheiff, but also his days as a United States
Most presidential elections are a competition between two respective parties, but in 1912, the election became a four candidate fight. The true competition existed primarily between two candidates, Theodore Roosevelt (TR), running for what was once legal-- a third term, for the newly formed Progressive party, and Woodrow Wilson, former governor of New Jersey, for the Democrats. The remaining candidates, Eugene V. Debs, running a the fourth time for the Socialist party, and Wilson Howard Taft, running for re-election with the Republican party, stood little chance against their competitors. Looking at the results and numbers only, one might like to think that the election was insignificant and a blowout win by Woodrow Wilson, but taking all the
According to strict anthropocentric and humanist views, the environment including all resources and species contained therein, are only valuable based on human use and consumption. This can include basic human needs and nonbasic/luxury needs (Boylan, 2013). Species value is largely determined by cultural influence or consensus. In 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt was up in Mississippi for some black bear hunting. When the hounds cornered a black bear, Roosevelt’s hunting guide knocked the bear unconscious, tied it to a tree, and then called Roosevelt to come shoot it.
