In an 1887 speech, Theodore Roosevelt said of bomb-throwing anarchists of his day, 'There is but one answer to be made to the dynamite bomb and that can best be made by the Winchester rifle.' (He did not use the word 'terrorism.')
Theodore Roosevelt said:"There is but one answer to terrorism and it is best delivered with a Winchester rifle."In an 1887 speech, Theodore Roosevelt said of the bomb-throwing anarchists of his day,"There is but one answer to be made to the dynamite bomb and that can best be made by the Winchester rifle."The problem of terrorism may seem uniquely contemporary, but in fact it is nothing new in human history.
"There is but one answer to terrorism, and it is best delivered with a Winchester rifle."--Theodore Rooseveltlike him — with its combination of tough talk and formal diction, and the flaunting of the made-in-America Winchester rifle as the proper tool to combat lawlessness. But although it's a reasonable paraphrase of a remark Roosevelt once made, it is not an exact quote, as we'll be able to demonstrate after a brief digression into the history of the phenomenon of terrorism.
Over time, the label"terrorist" came to be applied to non-state actors who carried out political assassinations, armed uprisings, and public bombings to achieve their goals. Revolutionary anarchist groups of the late 1800s and early 1900s fell into this category. In the U.S., anarchists in the labor union movement were blamed for thebombing and riot that took place during an otherwise peaceful workers' demonstration in Chicago on 4 May 1886.
