  • Buffalo 1901 the Assassination of President William Mckinley Shortly
    Buffalo 1901 The Assassination of President William McKinley Shortly after 4 PM on the afternoon of 6 September 1901, President William McKinley stood on the stage of the Temple of Music to greet the last group of well wishers who had waited in line to shake his hand at a public reception. McKinley reached out to a 28 year old man who was holding a handkerchief in his hand, not unusual since the day was rather hot and humid. But Leon Czolgosz had a 32 caliber revolver concealed under his handkerchief. Two shots rang out, the first nicked a button on the President’s vest and glanced off his chest, the second penetrated his stomach. Pandemonium ensued. One of the guards named O’Brien, and James Parker, a tall black man waiting in the line just behind Czolgosz, immediately grabbed the assassin and began punching him in the face. Czolgosz fell to the floor and other guards joined in. Czolgosz, in the words of an eye witness, was a “bloody mess”. Another guard grabbed the revolver out of Czolgosz’s right hand. The beating would have continued, had McKinley not said "Go easy on him boys" or "Don't let them hurt him". Whatever the exact words, they saved Czolgosz's life, at least temporarily. The guards stopped their assault and the President's health was given priority. The officials on the stage with McKinley eased him onto the floor. Word quickly spread of the shooting, and mob mentality took over, with crowds outside beating on the door and shouting death threats for the shooter.

  • Theodore Roosevelt, "Free Silver, Trusts, and the Philippines" (7 September 1900)
    Voices of Democracy 5 (2010): 57‐71 Kimokeo‐Goes 57 THEODORE ROOSEVELT, "FREE SILVER, TRUSTS, AND THE PHILIPPINES" (7 SEPTEMBER 1900) Una Kimokeo‐Goes Willamette University Abstract: This essay examines a vice presidential campaign speech by Theodore Roosevelt that reveals his vision of American national character and its role in world affairs. Delivered in support of William McKinley in 1900, the speech shows how Roosevelt defended American intervention in the Philippines. Presenting the administration's expansionist policies as a test of America's honor, national unity, and strength, Roosevelt portrayed critics of expansionism as weak, unpatriotic, and unwilling to perform America's "manly" duties. Key Words: Campaign of 1900, Theodore Roosevelt, American Identity, Imperialism, The Philippines, U.S. Foreign Policy, Expansion Theodore Roosevelt is one of our most celebrated presidents, and his leadership in the early 1900s made him "the symbol of the new century."1 Yet, even before he became president, Roosevelt worked hard to define the nation's ideals and its proper role in the world. Writing and speaking prolifically, Roosevelt spent much of the 1880s and 1890s advocating that the United States do more to realize its destiny as a leader among nations. During his campaign for vice president in 1900, Roosevelt previewed many of the themes that he would address in his more famous presidential speeches, including his calls for America to assume a more active role in international affairs. Roosevelt's legacy is deeply connected to his vision of the United States. He believed in the honor and nobility of the U.S. government, and he believed in rugged individualism, which he viewed as the basis for both personal and national character.
