Doris Kearns Goodwin Quote
Roosevelt reasoned, if the Vice-Presidency led to the Governor Generalship of the Philippines, then the question would be entirely altered. That post was the one he desired above all others, even a second gubernatorial term. From the moment the United States acquired the islands as a provision of the treaty in 1899 ending the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt had coveted the job of creating a new government in a Philippines free of Spanish tyranny.
