“The U. S. is headed toward a period of business depression... beginning within the next two years, which may exceed that which preceded the War. ... The only thing that will save us is a new gold policy or the discovery of a new process or additional gold fields.

Very much was done of good, and much also of evil; and, as was inevitable in such a period of revolution, often the same man did both good and evil. For our great good fortune as a nation, we, the people of the United States as a whole, can now afford to forget the evil, or, at least, to remember it without bitterness, and to fix our eyes with pride only on the good that was accomplished.” PeopleMenWarStatesDoneWholeEyeRememberEvilNationsSidesDarkForgetUnitedUnited StatesStruggleRevolutionPridePeriodsTerribleFortuneInevitableCivil WarAccomplishedGood And EvilBitternessHeroicGood Fortune Author:Theodore Roosevelt
