Teddy was 4 years old when the Civil War began.
Theodore Roosevelt lived through the US Civil War, the Spanish American War and WWI.
Theodore Roosevelt wasn't born until the first year of the Civil War, and Franklin Roosevelt not till many years after it was over.
He was just a boy, too young to be involved in the Civil War.
At about age 4, Theodore Roosevelt experienced the Civil War. He wanted God to "grind the Southern troops to powder." So he was on the Union side, unlike his mom.
When the Spanish-America began in 1898, Theodore Roosevelt was the Secretary of the Navy. He resigned to fight as a "Rough Rider" in Cuba to aid the Cuban rebellion against Spain. This war was over within about one year. Roosevelt was occupied with the Russo-Japanese War and the proposed Panama Canal prospects.
