Teddy Roosevelt's Presidency

1.) Theodore " Teddy" Roosevelt was the 26th president of the U.S.A. He is best known for his leadership of the Progressive Movement, and leader of the Rupublican Party. He was born on October 27,1858 in New York City. He was in office from September 14, 1901- March 4, 1909

2.) Roosevelt became president, because on September 6, 1901, president Mckinley was shot, and at the time Roosevelt was vice president. So in 1904, Teddy won the presidency election , and therefore became new president.

3.) It provided him an outstanding platform from which to preach his ideas.
