Haymarket Square Riot (Chicago, Illinois : 1886)

President Roosevelt found General Porter’s article interesting, although he does not agree with Porter’s conclusion that moral courage is more important than physical courage. Roosevelt believes that both types are worthless without the other. He cites Senator Eugene Hale as an example. Hale has moral courage but lacks physical courage, which makes him “the enemy of the honor and honesty of America” in regards to foreign relations and military matters. He also notes that some Rough Riders who had immense physical courage lack moral courage and have been “utterly worthless” since returning to civilian life.
