Roosevelt called himself the ACCIDENTAL PRESIDENT. When President McKinley was assassinated in September 1901, Roosevelt, who was 42 at that time became the United States President and also the youngest one in history. He led his party and country into the Progressive Era, and mastered his "Square Deal" domestic policies. Because of his aim to preserve the resources of the nation, he asked for the construction of natural parks, forests and monuments, and he also began construction of the Panama Canal.
