@JohnBarnwell888 History's all that way. They've been painting US and UK leaders as saints since the beginning. Of course, other nations are just as bad.
I explained history to a sixth-grader, just recently, this way:
You walk into your school's library and see a book titled world history, thinking that it's factual, but it's a sort-of thin book. However, if you ask the right people, a shelf in the back, in a dark and gloomy corner, holds a book on history ten-times as thick, with the real history, but the library seems to have lost the catalog card for it.
In Bertie's case, Theodore Roosevelt was neck-deep in what was going on behind the scene. Together, they successfully ushered in progressivism, which was at the behest of the elite at Wall Street, Cliveden House, and in the City of London. Two world wars and numerous others followed.
I always have to laugh when the historians bring up "Good Queen Bess." She was the one who signed the privateer's letters of marque, and the Royal Charter for the monopoly called the British East India Company. It was all about receiving a percentage of the spoils.
Of course, the Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch weren't any better, and later, the Colonies were guilty of privateering too.
