President Roosevelt briefly addresses the crowd gathered at Statesville, North Carolina, saying he is glad to see the region’s industrial development. He says that the men of North Carolina are real men and the women are real women, using an anecdote from the War of 1812 to make the point. He says that all men, especially the president, should travel so they will see that good citizens are the same all over while sectional differences are trivial.
