Roosevelt
speaking in Roswell, GA, 1905 |
"It has been my great
fortune to have the right to claim that my blood is half Southern and half
Northern, and I would deny the right of any man to feel a greater pride in
the deeds of every Southern man than I feel. Two of my uncles entered the
Confederate service and served in the Confederate navy. I have the
ancestral right to claim a proud kinship with those who showed their
devotion to duty as they saw they duty, whether they wore the gray of
whether they wore the blue. All Americans who are worthy of the name
feel an equal pride in the valor of those who fought on one side or the
other, provided only that each did with all his might and soul and
strength and mind his duty as it was given him to see his duty."
