Franklin Roosevelt
Throughout history, many people have contributed to building America. The American culture has not evolved through one event, or success, but through many contributions. There are scientists, mathematicians, scholars, authors, men in politics, and so on, who have contributed to the American culture and the country we live in today. One particular leader made a great difference to today’s society. This man possessed qualities not any man possessed, this man achieved more than any man could have possibly achieve, this man was Theodore Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt was born on October 27,1858 in New York. Theodore was an asthmatic child, and had very hard time breathing. He was puny and weak, and did not do much in his child hood life. His father installed a “home gym” for him to exercise and “make his body”. As he grew older, his asthma attacks diminished, and he became a strong, big, and healthy man. (Auchincloss 12). Theodore graduated from Harvard University and became a father of six children. He was a very loved man, and was nominated Vice President in 1901. In the same year, he became the 26th president of the United States due to the bullet of Leon Czolgosz.
Through the beginning of the 20th century, Roosevelt has showed tremendous amount of success and achievements. Theodore’s actions toward foreign policy and affairs made the United States a world power, and with out him the United States would not be as great as it is today. Theodore Roosevelt also took actions to preserver nature, and no president ever acquired as much success towards nature as he did. Theodore Roosevelt was unlike any other president. He loved the American people and the American people loved him. He possessed morals, principles, and values, and are all factors for him being one of the greatest President of all time. Our culture would not be the way it is without Theodore Roosevelt, for he is a great man. Besides Foreign Policy, Theodore was also Naturalist and active Conservationist. Since TR was a disadvantage child, he adored nature. He took direct actions to preserve trees and wild life. According to the National Geographic, approximately 230,000,000 acres in the U.S. are now under protection due to Theodore Roosevelt's actions, including 150 national forests, 51 federal bird reservations, 4 national game preserves, 5 national parks, 18 national monuments, 24 reclamation projects, and 7 conservation conferences and commissions. The forest reserves of the United States went from approximately 43,000,000 acres to about 194,000,000 acres under TR. This represents an increase of over 400%. Theodore Roosevelt thought much about future generations of children. That is one of the reasons he became such a champion of conservation and saving special places that are now National Parks and Monuments. (Auchincloss 95) One particular achievement Theodore Roo
