Theodore Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt was President of the United States when he supported the separation of Panama from Columbia. As President, he lived in the White house (Executive Mansion) in Washington, DC.
Taft and Roosevelt had a close relationship while Theodore was president. After Roosevelt left office upon Taft's inauguration, Taft felt overwhelmed with the office and even asked Roosevelt for advice, which Roosevelt was uncomfortable giving. Roosevelt later decided to run against Taft in 1912, which ended their friendship.
Theodore RooseveltIt was named for President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. The name was inspired by a rather complicated story involving a bear hunt in which that Roosevelt participated and a resulting political cartoon.
Theodore Roosevelt decided to run again. Taft refused to give up the Republican nomination, so Theodore Roosevelt ran on the Third Party Ticket of the Bull Moose Party,officially known as the Progressive Party.
Theodore Roosevelt
Oct 12, 1901, President Theodore Roosevelt decided to call it "The White House".
he was his uncle and he taught him about government when FDR was a child. FDR was inspired and decided to follow his uncle in politics *edit: He was actually his 5th cousin
He decided that the best way was to secure a military victory and remove the Nazi's power over people.
"Teddy" was an abbreviation of Theodore, and the nickname had nothing to do with Theodore Roosevelt's bear hunting incident. However, the teddy bear's name is derived from the incident. Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear that had been captured for him to shoot when his hunting trip was not going well. The incident was captured in a Clifford Berryman political cartoon, "Drawing the Line in Mississippi," featuring a frightened little bear tied down by a man and an indignant Roosevelt refusing to even look at it. The little bear became a feature in the background of Berryman cartoons of Roosevelt forever after.
