What connection does the state of Louisiana have to the naming of the children's stuffed animal the Teddy Bear?
The Teddy Bear is named after President Theodore Roosevelt, whose nickname was "Teddy." The connection to Louisiana comes from a famous hunting trip he took in 1902 near the Mississippi River in the state. During this trip, Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear that had been captured and tied up for him, which led to a political cartoon depicting this event. Following the cartoon's popularity, a toy maker created a stuffed bear and named it the "Teddy Bear," thus linking it to the Louisiana event.

Stuffed animals are known to have been used in Medieval mystery plays, which were plays or tableaux meant to teach illiterate peasants Bible stories. Some of the stuffed animals were the Snake in the Garden of Eden, or camels of the Three Wise Men in the Nativity plays.
