More from Theodore Roosevelt
"I am an American and not a hyphenated American. I am not an Irish-American, or a German-American, or an English-American, but an American, and nothing else."
"I am a strong believer in the doctrine of 'the square deal for the small businessman.'"
"I have always been a man who has been interested in the promotion of American inventiveness, and I have always been a man who has been interested in the promotion of American ingenuity."
"No nation deserves to exist if it permits itself to lose the virile qualities without which no nation can speak with power, or can command respect in the councils of the world."
"I believe in the Square Deal. I believe in fair play. I believe in a square deal for every man, big or small, rich or poor, white or black."
About Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)
26th US President (1901-1909), Progressive trust-buster, conservation pioneer, and the youngest person to assume the presidency (after McKinley's assassination). Closely associated with William Howard Taft (his hand-picked successor and later 1912 election rival) and Gifford Pinchot (his Forest Service chief and conservation co-architect). For an intellectual contrast, see J.P. Morgan, financier and architect of Northern Securities (1837-1913) — TR's 1902 antitrust suit against Morgan's Northern Securities railroad combination was the founding act of progressive antitrust enforcement. Their famous 1902 White House meeting — where Morgan reportedly said 'send your man to my man' and TR refused — is the canonical moment of presidential authority asserting over private financial power.
