While Teddy Roosevelt was President, many good things happened to our country. However, there were some events that had some negative consequences for us.
When Teddy Roosevelt was President, we intervened in Latin American affairs several times. We helped Panama become independent from Colombia, which then allowed us to build the Panama Canal. We also intervened in the Dominican Republic to be sure that they paid their debts to Europe. These actions by the United States didn’t sit well with some people in Latin America. The people of Latin America began to view us in negative terms. They viewed us a bossy big brother that looked out only for the best interests of the United States. This feeling continues to exist today in many parts of Latin America.
Big businesses didn’t like Roosevelt’s actions regarding the breaking up of trusts. They felt the government was intervening too much in the affairs of businesses. They also didn’t like the development of government agencies, such as the Bureau of Corporations, which monitored the activities of businesses. From the perspective of some business owners, this government involvement was not a positive development.
There were many good things that happened while Teddy Roosevelt was President. There were a few things that were considered bad by some groups of people.
