On september 6, 1901, President McKinley was shot. On his way to Biffalo, Roosevelt received a telegram informing him that McKinley had died. Roosevelt arrived in Buffalo on september 14 and was promptly sworn in there as president by U.S. District Judge John R. Hazel. In the presidential election of 1904 Roosevelt won the presidency in a landside victory.

The  "bully pulpit" was first used by Teddy Roosevelt, explaining his view of the presidency, in this quotation "I suppose my critics will call that preaching, but I have got such a bully pulpit!" 

Theodore Roosevelt was born not too long before the Civil War. During his childhood slavery was legal, but later abolished. Women could not vote, many considered college education and higher paying professions as inappropriate roles for women, and property ownership and legal rights were different for women. Overall TR had a good record of treatment of African-Americans. Unfortunately however, his one major failure of his presidency also included them.
