Frank Harper refutes the story that Theodore Roosevelt wishes to annex Canada to the United States, which was based on a quotation about “political reasons” from a private letter to President Taft. Harper draws on speeches given by Roosevelt in Detroit, MI and New York, NY to show that Roosevelt’s reasons for supporting the reciprocity treaty between the United States and Canada was to promote good will and peace between the nations.
