Teddy Roosevelt's Policy toward African-Americans
http://millercenter.org/president/roosevelt/essays/biography/4
Teddy thought blacks were inferior to whites when it came to many things, but on a few topics he thought blacks could be superior to the white men. The blacks that might have been superior had to prove their merit. I think that is a good thing so that the blacks that could get things done like the whites could get some respect and try to make a good name for their kids and other blacks. He didn't do much during his time as president to help the blacks in the south
In Brownsville, Texas a company of african american soldiers were dishonorably discharged. They were discharged because there was a gun spree and the blame was put on the blacks. They didn't do it but they were blamed when they said they didn't do it. 168 men were discharged from the army without even a court trial.
William Howard Taft's Background
He was the 27th president of the United States, Born September 15, 1857, 10th Chief of Justice. His presidency came along due to his great Judicial background he was a good leader and judge. He was after teddys presidency so it was hard to live up to his legacy. He political background was not good at all he was a very bad political leader. Teddy wanted him to continue his legacy and keep his policies and make decisions teddy would like while he was not in office. Congress hoped someone would go against some of teddys policies but he didn't so the house was split, by the republican party he himself was a republican, and the western progressives they wanted to end teddys reforms.
