Theodore Roosevelt Fun Facts

[OldWorldAmerican]

The other side of Teddy's love of nature wasn't as bright. After his childhood friend turned him down after he proposed to her, Teddy reportedly went on a long camping trip westward. Apparently during his riding, he went on a bloody rampage and shot nearly every living thing he saw.

@OldWorldAmerican It wasn't so much as a bloody rampage as it was a really long hunting trip. He just wanted to get away from people while he mourned the death of his mother and wife (both died on the same day February 14th)

TR shot a lot of endangered animals.

[FreggieProductions]

@spinemelter2000 Is there documented proof of this?  Were they endangered then or are these animals that are endangered now.

I liked Teddy Roosevelt, and even thought he was a badass, until I read A People's History Of The United States and began to study his military career and political actions and their effects on the territories the US occupied. He was a sociopathic racist scumbag who advocated war and ignored war crimes which were just as horrific as those committed by Nazi Germany or anyother imperialist empire.

@PELLOWHEAD Most people in history have a side that by today's standards would be considered evil. Try to put it into the context of the time that he lived. Things were a lot more "wild" back then.

i love teddy

[thehoaxbuster]

Well... Theodore Roosevelt also killed loads of elephants and lions while in Africa after his term in office.

[FreggieProductions]

@thehoaxbuster But were they tied to a tree. The point of the clip isn't that he didn't hunt animals, it's that he wouldn't hunt animals that were tied to trees. I know in today's world a lot of people view hunting as barbaric but back then the attitude toward hunting was a lot different.

do you know the things teddy did that made him a republican?

[FreggieProductions]

No, can you tell me?

[MrTitomeister]

@Jose143137 Repulican pretty much meant Democrat in the early 1900's

[FreggieProductions]

@MrTitomeister True.

[FreggieProductions]

Yea, not much sport shooting a tied up bear whether it's a cub or full grown.

[elkriverharmonicas]

Preach it puppet! That's a pretty famous cartoon, in fact the cartoon made the bear incident famous, but it wasn't a cub, it was a large 600-pound bear. Teddy not only said no, he ripped the hunting guide pretty hard for that.

thank you this helped me for an extra credit assingment

[FreggieProductions]

No problem. Glad to be of help.

[mee3012]

actually, i studied that it was a bear CUB he refused to shoot, leading to the invention of the *drumroll* TEDDY BEAR!! yAY!!

[FreggieProductions]

Yea, that part of the story has been changed over the years. It was a full grown bear though.
