and theodore roosevelt's been a big of it. so for a number of years now, i've taught an elective on theodore as a strategic leader, and it's a very popular course with our students. they enjoy it a great deal and i'm drawn from that. some of the kinds things that we talk about as examples of how theodore roosevelt was a leader in ways that don't always make it to the popular canon, which is the theory of the talks this morning. now, before i actually dive into that, i'm required to do something here. the remarks i'm about give and the answers i may say response to any questions are from my personal position and do not represent the official positions of the department of defense. national defense or the national war college. thank you very much. i retired as a navy judge advocate. so, so, so the rules that are things that i need to do, the other thing is because this is a talk i provide citations the way that we do. if it's a published paper, have drawn from a large number. i mean, there is just so much a story about they're o

senator blunt in his remarks mentioned the first plan to build this wonderful monument theodore roosevelt in 1900 offered the words that he said, but i'm going to go further than what he said this morning. theater roosevelt said of all the the living dead the three greatest americans are george. washington abraham lincoln and ulysses s grant but he didn't stop there. he went on to say of second rank or benjamin franklin. alexander hamilton andrew jackson of second rank so this is the way theodore roosevelt understood ulysses s grant in 1900 i'm so pleased that in 2022. we are restoring him to his rightful place as my editor said when we talked about doing a grant biography don't you think grants do for an upgrade? yes, he is. thank you very much. dr. white you are as good a storyteller in person as you are when you read the book. president grant comes alive both in the challenges and in the opportunities today we gather as part of our understanding of public memory the capital historical society is dedicated. to ensuring that our public memory is presented in a way to inspire inform patri

instead of theodore roosevelt, tell them about mark twain.ain -- well, mark twain, everybody learns about as the author of tom sawyer and huckleberry finn, but when we go to school, we don't learn about mark twain as the vice president of the anti-imperialist league. we aren't told that mark twain denounced theodore roosevelt for approving this massacre in the philippines. we want to give young people ideal figures like helen keller. and i remember learning about helen keller. everybody learns about helen keller, you know, a disabled person who overcame her handicaps and became famous. but people don't learn in school and young people don't learn in school what we want them to learn what we do books like "a young people's history of united states," that helen keller was a socialist. she was a labor organizer. she refused to cross a picket line that was picketing a theater showing a play about her. and so there are these alternate heroes in american history. there's fannie lou hamer and bob moses. there are the heroes of the civil rights movem

[laughter] >> lucky me. over the course of 40 years and seven presidents beginning with president gerald ford. and the rose garden was always a formal office space. it was an official event space. it wasn't just for the dogs. every once many a while you could tell the presidents' dogs had been there. but it was a beautiful setting, outdoor setting that was used con instantly even -- constantly, even in somewhat cold, somewhat rainy weather. jacqueline kennedy redid the rose garden. was that a dramatic departure point from generations before, or was it a process of evolution? >> definitely a process of evolution and if kind of a dramatic -- and

now speaking about deterrence, i think it was president theodore roosevelt or us defined it as speaking softly and carry a long gig. yeah. but one century after his death it seems that the americans are actually made the reverse that they're, they're not speaking softly. they're speaking of noxious me very rudely. but do you think that stick at this point of time is long enough to force that enemies or adversaries to do what they want to do? that bidding i may not entirely agree with your analysis because you see there is a great retrenchment which is taking place in united states. they have redrawn from most of the countries and i've gone east on is a case and quite that was the only to award there in your isha. so they're gone back and all what they're doing, you know, they're trying to sort of for offload most of the a miller t responsibility to the natural partners and put them in the front line and out his way. you will see when president trump was dead. he wanted the natural current is to have more shed in the, in the budget of natural and us. so those are the things. so i don't t

edith roosevelt for example provided a space where theodore roosevelt could meet together with booker t, washington that was not something it could have happened. just anywhere in washington dc, you know so that space that first ladies and first families in general have provided for gathering americans across the political divide as has been a crucial part of it. i think that's why in historical historians solidarity with dr. algo there unofficially the unofficial sphere is such an important term rather than i know political science and soft power, but that unofficial sphere is integral to the what the first lady has always done even down to today. so changes. well, there's a there are many changes and we can talk more about these but it has to do with the growth of a gender expectations the growth of women's activity in the world as we move through the century the civil war. it makes changes women's war work and then as we get towards the gilded age and moving into the progressive era that's sort of work that women do in the world. to move out of their domestic sphere which was the s
