Expressing concern about the trouble that maintaining loyalty to ancestral homelands brings, Theodore Roosevelt responds to Bernard H. Ridder agreeing with his stance that American citizens with German origins should not be held responsible for matters of the German state, like the Rohrbach matter. Roosevelt is also open to accepting and adopting Ritter’s position that the United States failed to do its duty and become the peacemaker in matters with Germany.
