Background Information: Theodore Roosevelt is a man with many interests, high standards, and things to be proud of. He had become the 26th President of the United States and the 25th Vice President of the United States, the 33rd Governor of New York City, and Secretary of the United States Navy. Theodore Roosevelt was born on October 27, 1858 in New York City and died on January 6, 1919. He was also the second son of Roosevelt Sr. (his father) and Martha Stewart (his mother). Theodore Roosevelt was also known as Teddy. For much of his life Theodore was stuck at home due to his severe asthma and at times brought him close to death, this had affected not only his social life, but his personality. Theodore did not have many connections with the outside world, he was home-schooled and treated gently by those around him due to fear of his asthma attacks. Theodore's father had noticed that Theodore had many physical challenges that he faced in life and whenever he was bored Theodore wrote books. Doctors had told Theodore and his parents that there was no cure, but that didn't stop him from being curious and mischievous. At the age of 22 Theodore married Alice Hathaway Lee and had a daughter on February 12, 1884. Two days after their The little girl born Alice Hathaway Lee had died due to kidney failure and had led Theodore to become a single parent. On the same day that Alice Hathaway Lee died, Theodore's mother, Martha Stewart, died of typhoid fever. After that day Theodore never spoke of his wife Alice or their marriage again. The deaths of his wife Alice and his mother Martha Stewart had brought devastation to his life. On December 2, 1886, Theodore Roosevelt had remarried... mid-paper... and William E. Chandler had to. worrying about many things as if they were at war. For example the costs of everything: food, weapons, gunpowder, ships, boats, armor etc. He was on target and prepared for these situations, as William E. Chandler said that "constant changes in methods of naval conduct make war imposed by the introduction of ironclads, fast cruisers, battering rams, sea-going torpedo boats, and high-powered guns imperative the creation of a school where our officers may be able to keep abreast of the improvements being made by every navy in the world." Here William E. Chandler tells us that although there are many things we should pay attention to, all these changes are for a good reason and that is to help our men fight and win the war for our country. So we provide Calvary with everything they need to be ready.
