President Roosevelt speaks at the reburial of William S. Rosencrans at Arlington National Cemetery. Roosevelt honors veterans of the American Civil War, like Rosencrans, without whom, “the work of Washington would have crumbled into bloody chaos.” Roosevelt asserts that without the work of the soldiers in the Civil War, the accomplishments of soldiers in the Revolutionary War would have meant nothing.
