I knew all this. I have since knowing, had a love-hate feeling towards Teddy. He was an a rugged individual and believed in Americans being such. He wanted immigrants to be Americanized.
He also did what you said.
He definitely was a complicated person.
I like Teddy, too, as an American character and a high quality individual, but his progressivism was misguided and ultimately led to America’s downfall, soon to be complete.
