Theodore Roosevelt's Accomplishments

In 1901 the most amazing thing that ever happened to America took place. On October 27, 1858 Theodore Roosevelt was inaugurated. Unfortunately, this did not occur on the best of terms. He was vice president to William McKinley. He was fatally shot a month before. Accepting the responsibility which comes with the task he accepted when becoming vice president, he stepped up and fulfilled the duties of the president. He did an outstanding job of presiding over our country.
Some in that time considered him to be the president we needed rather than the president we wanted. With him making his rise to power he also set some precedents without even doing anything yet. At that time he was the youngest president to ever hold that office. Even though
