Roosevelt on Philippines and Louisiana policy stance
Theodore Roosevelt argues expansion mirrors Jefferson’s Louisiana policy, favoring staged self government for the Philippines. He rejects imperialism claims, defends a merit-based civil service, and warns against abandoning islands to Aguinaldo and corrupt oligarchies. He cites Florida, Mexico, and Indian affairs to justify gradual self rule under U.S. guardianship.

There is no such word as retreat says Maj. McKinley
A Fort Collins veteran, Thomas O Callahan, recalls Maj. McKinley during Civil War scouting in which a 800 to 400 ambush was met with a charge after the captain shouted retreat. McKinley led the advance with sword drawn as his men pressed the enemy, who fled in confusion. O Callahan notes bullets in oats and wounds to horse and McKinley, who praised his troops and pledged reciprocity if possible.
