Talk:Great White Fleet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nicely detailed itinerary given, but what was the President's purpose for the fleet, and what was its historical significance? Did it symbolize the emergence of the US as a world power? Surely there are some TR quotes or documents to explain this.
According to a High School history book I had, it is written that congress would refuse to fund the Great White Fleet, and Teddy Roosevelt said that if they don't fund the fleet home, it will remain on the other side of the world.24.60.124.8 23:08, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
