The Time Teddy Roosevelt Was Shot And Still Gave A Speech

#TeddyRoosevelt #BullMoose #AmericanHistory #IconicFigure #Leadership #History

On October 14, 1912, Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, was shot while campaigning for a third term in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Despite being shot in the chest, Roosevelt refused to go to the hospital and instead delivered an 84-minute speech, with the bullet still lodged in his chest.

In the speech, Roosevelt announced to the shocked audience that he had been shot, but declared that it would take more than that to kill a Bull Moose. He then continued with his speech, speaking on the importance of national unity and condemning violence in politics.

Roosevelt's bravery and resilience in the face of danger made headlines around the world and cemented his place as one of the most iconic figures in American history. Today, his famous quote, "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far," remains a testament to his leadership and influence.

Thanks for watching!

He boxed, was a wrestler, did judo, jiujitsu, was a real western cowboy, led men as a soldier in the Army, and THIS. He was the perfect example of what an American ought to be

Theodore Roosevelt only served one term

[RyanYT-bh]

He was shot while to deliver to someone

[Yomamaiiii]

I wasn’t there at the speech because I was on the Titanic bro

[Julien-r]

He survived cuz he has a pocket in his shirt and the bullet first hit his metal glasses case then the paper of his speech but he ended up surviving

[Moondoesart]

Its because the had a thick folded paper in his pocket and a glasses case to in his pocket so those slow down the bullet so it didn't affect his lungs or do much harm it just hitted the tissue please give a like i worked hard on this but im not beggin

[patrickjacoba]

[khulantse]

It's because he had a thick letter And A metal Glass cass

[rosaishah-sj]

Wasn't that the same year when the Titanic sank

[Bis-Fans_MHA]

only reason he was still standing is bc he had a thick layer of paper and a metal glasses case so it did't go all the way threw his lungs or skin.
