The papers should not be long–no more than 2 pages (500 words minimum). Read the document and respond to the questions at the end. Number your responses to correspond to the questions and answer each question in a new paragraph. Each paragraph should include support drawn directly from the source. I look for more than a simple factual answer to the question. Tell me why you think your answer is correct. In other words justify your answer from the document itself or by logical reasoning about its contents and the events that brought it about. Show me that you have thought seriously about what you have read Theodore Roosevelt was one of the most aggresive advocates of overseas empire. He was part of a group of like-minded men who pushed for expansion. Not only did Roosevelt become the most prominent spokesman for freeing Cuba and the Philippines from spanish rule, annexing Hawaii, and asserting American military might around the world, but as assistant secretary of the Navy in the 1890′s, he was in a position to build up American sea power and beat the drums of war inside the government. The following document is taken from Roosevelt′s speech ″The Strenuous Life,″ given in Chicago on April 10, 1899. The very phrase ″the strenuous life″ became an emblem for the age of Roosevelt. Questions: 1) What are Roosevelt′s underlying ideological assumptions? 2) What were his stated social ideals? 3) With what tone did he address his audience and who was his audience? 4) Why did Roosevelt believe that foreign territories would make America stronger?
