TR?
yes
He forged it
<:Groyper:639989421168394250>
but his Foreign Policy was also important
I love this song about Andrew Jackson โOld Hickoryโ Fighting the British. https://youtu.be/50_iRIcxsz0
yeah
He had Empire in man
That's super manly
he can be remembered for those two things
Sailed his boats to Japan
Suez
Cuba
etc
and the Panama Canal
that's probably third
Panama was what I was thinking
He did stuff in Mexico too
he can be remembered as a Regulator, for his foreign policy in making the US an Imperial power, and for building the Canal
Regulator
idts
lol
that was his main focus
That sounds like a feckless bureaucrat
domestically
He actually forged
no I don't think so
He didn't just take over something of someone elses and run it
its something you see time and again in history
Regulator sounds like a feckless inheritor
Not a forger
making an empire is one thing, but making it a cohesive system is another
many great men were also great regulators
one of the perennial parts of real empire building is regulation
weights and measures
If you win the territories, you aren't just regulating
things like that
TR conquered
actually he endorsed this group https://infogalactic.com/info/Simplified_Spelling_Board and would have implemented the first wave of changes on the federal level if Congress didn't explicitly put a stop to it
Roosevelt ultimately decided to rescind the order. Brander Matthews, a friend of Roosevelt and one of the chief advocates of the reform as chairman of the Simplified Spelling Board, remonstrated with him for abandoning the effort. Roosevelt replied on December 16, 1906: "I could not by fighting have kept the new spelling in, and it was evidently worse than useless to go into an undignified contest when I was beaten. Do you know that the one word as to which I thought the new spelling was wrong โ thru โ was more responsible than anything else for our discomfiture?" Next summer Roosevelt was watching a naval review when a press boat marked "Pres Bot" chugged ostentatiously by. The President waved and laughed with delight.
Lot of big names of the time there
yep

๐
Was Buffalo Bill at the Alamo?

davey crocket
Wild West show
he died in 1917
he was known as an entertainer
Davey Crocket may be one of the coolest American heroes
Right
"Davey, Daveyyy crocket, king of the wild frontier
Notice how all the original American culture just died (was killed) after the two World Wars
@Deleted User my boomer dad and his brothers break into that song together all the time
๐
lol my family claim to fame is we have a MTN named for us and my dads side great great gpa more then like killed buford pusser
it's a catchy song, defintelly more their time though
```BT pronounced /t/ use T debtโdet, doubtโdout```
horrible
MTN= mountain?
<:Yes:639977935209627658>
@TheUserNameofPeace you don't like that change?
That's pretty cool
```silent or misleading โE drop the E areโar, giveโgiv, haveโhav, wereโwer, goneโgon,
examineโexamin, practiseโpractis, definiteโdefinit, activeโactiv, involveโinvolv, serveโserv,
achieveโachiev, leaveโleav, freezeโfreez, gauzeโgauz, sleeveโsleev```
a lot of the changes actually stuck
no
I see some
my family was into farming in an area in the usa
we used to own a whole country
yup, thats what a lot of the pioneers did
```โED pronounced /d/ use โD,
reduce any foregoing doubled consonant to a single letter answeredโanserd, calledโcald, carriedโcarrid, preferredโpreferd, wrongedโwrongd.
Do not make this change if the spelling suggests an incorrect pronunciation: bribed not bribd; used not usd, a.s.f.```
bad
and are responsible for differences in British English/American English
county? that's bad ass
The st for past tense is fine
yea its pretty cool we still own a small chunk of it
but nothing compare to when it was big
``` pronounced /uห/ use U manoeuverโmanuver```
This one is okay
or you could just learn how to spell <:ahem:639979147782914084>
