Theodore Roosevelt agrees that good people can “be on exactly opposite sides of every question.” For example, his mother’s family fought for the Confederacy and she was an “unreconstructed rebel to the day of her death.” Roosevelt denies he favors any foreign nation and provides several actions he took while president to support the assertion. He believes that the United States could learn a great deal from German social and industrial life. Roosevelt particularly enjoys the style of German clubs and regrets that he is unlikely to be welcomed by them anymore.
