Here I'm using a lesson obtained from Teachers Pay Teachers to go into greater detail on the different foreign policy approaches of U.S. presidents Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson, a topic discussed briefly in our notes today.

Dan D'Silva: I'm a former news industry content editor from the Philly suburbs. I received my B.A. in journalism with a minor in history from Ithaca College in 2007.
