When Theodore Roosevelt took on the role of a Rough Rider during the Spanish-American War in 1898, he resigned as Assistant Secretary of the Navy. This position had allowed him to play a significant role in naval affairs, but his desire for active military service led him to leave it behind and join the volunteer cavalry regiment. His leadership in the Rough Riders, particularly during the Battle of San Juan Hill, contributed to his burgeoning political career.
