The federal art, theater, music, and writing programs, while not changing American culture as much as their adherents had hoped, did bring more art to more Americans than ever before or since. Although the decision had been made early on to pay women the same wages as men, in practice they were consigned to the lower-paying activities of sewing, bookbinding, caring for the elderly, school lunch programs, nursery school, and recreational work
He had always regarded marriage as sacred and had believed that marrying twice for any reason either showed a flaw in character or, in the case of the death of a spouse, unfaithfulness. During his stay in 1883, he nearly became involved in a duel over a territory dispute with the Marquis de Mores, a Frenchmen who had come to Montana in search of adventure
Tell Us About It.However, after the assassination and the untimely death of McKinley, he was appointed to the post of the President on September 14, 1901.

Hours before a scheduled speech in Milwaukee that October, an assailant fired a .32 caliber pistol straight at Roosevelt's heart; the bullet instead met the case holding the folded-up speech pages Roosevelt carried in his breast pocket, only wounding him
The really big fortune, the swollen fortune, by the mere fact of its size acquires qualities which differentiate it in kind as well as in degree from what is possessed by men of relatively small means. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat
A Democrat can support the fact that he was a social reformer (he palled around with Jacob Riis); Republicans can support the fact that he was tough on crime (he was the NYC Police Commissioner, after all). Before becoming New York's governor in 1899, Roosevelt had been a state assemblyman, a failed mayoral candidate, a rancher, a convention delegate, an author of naval and natural history, a federal civil service commissioner, one of the New York City police commissioners, and assistant secretary of the Navy
