Rhiannon Morrison's History Class

My favorite President we will be discussing is Theodore Roosevelt. He served as the 26th President of the United States. My favorite quote of his was,  “There were all kinds of things I was afraid of at first, ranging from grizzly bears to ‘mean’ horses and gun-fighters; but by acting as if I was not afraid I gradually ceased to be afraid.” He is an interesting person to study about and was an amazing president. I highly recommend the documentary on Netflix called "The Roosevelts.'

Teddy was his nickname because in 1902, President Roosevelt participated in a bear-hunting trip in Mississippi. While hunting, Roosevelt declared the behavior of the other hunters “unsportsmanlike" after he refused to kill a bear they had captured.
