...cinderella team!? Hello yahoo. I am in a bit of a pickle it seems. My gov class is doing a tournament style presidential debate thing. We pulled number out of a hat and picked presidents in that order. I got pick 27 out of 30. I picked president Calvin Coolidge. The teacher organized the rounds so its high seeds vs low seeds. I have really good debating skills and public speaking skills so I managed to upset two people. I was espected to lose right away but i upset Reagan and then I upset FDR and now i am 2 debates away from the championship. I won by attacking the opposing presidents achievements and taking credit away from them. Then i would mention all their controversies which would finish them. We get time to explain why our president was great and then time to explain why the other president was bad. These debates are decided by who argues better, rebuttles better, and who brings up the better points and not by who has the better president.
This week is different because Teddy Roosevelt had pretty much no scandals and did so many good things. Is any dirt on him or any bad things that he did? I know I should mention imperialism, racism, eugenics, and the gentlemans agrement. Is there any other thing i can mention to attack him? Also, why was the Gentlemans Agreement so controversial? Thank in advance!
That actually helps ALOT! Thank you very much.
