Are Mark Twain and Theodore Roosevelt enemies?

Answer 1

Both Twain & Roosevelt felt that slavery was wrong. In Roosevelts last months of his life, Twain would visit him and help him write his memoirs whose sales were able to sustain Roosevelts family after his death. They had a mutual respect for each other and called each other friends.

The above answer couldn't be more wrong. Twain died BEFORE Roosevelt and they were enemies when it came to Imperialism. In addition, Roosevelt was independently wealthy and died as such. It was Ulysses S. Grant whom Twain helped by editing and getting his memoirs published in order to sustain Grant's family.

Answer 2

Mark Twain and Theodore Roosevelt were not enemies. In fact, they had mutual respect for each other. They shared a friendship that was based on admiration for each other's intellect and wit.
