A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON TEDDY ROOSEVELT--RANKED AS ONE OF THE FIVE BEST PRESIDENTS---Roosevelt assumed the presidency at age 42 after McKinley was assassinated in September 1901. He remains the youngest person to become president of the United States. Roosevelt was a leader of the progressive movement and championed his "Square Deal" domestic policies, promising the average citizen fairness, breaking of trusts, regulation of railroads, and pure food and drugs.
