Summary | “Americanism” by Theodore Roosevelt is a speech delivered in the early 20th century, specifically in 1915. This work is a political address that discusses the ideals and principles of American identity and citizenship. Roosevelt emphasizes the significance of a unified national character distinct from ethnic identities, advocating for loyalty to the United States above all. The main topic revolves around understanding what it means to be an American and the responsibilities that come with citizenship. In the address, Roosevelt articulates that true Americanism rejects hyphenated identities, insisting that all citizens pledge unwavering allegiance to the United States, regardless of their origins or religious beliefs. He stresses the importance of democratic principles, individual duty over individual rights, and the need for prepared citizenry both socially and militarily. He criticizes movements that promote sectarian or ethnic divisions while advocating for the inclusion and assimilation of immigrants into a unified American identity. Roosevelt's vision calls for a collective commitment to the nation's ideals and a proactive approach to societal and industrial challenges, ensuring that every citizen, regardless of background, contributes positively to the nation's welfare and unity.
