Uncovering the Origins of Independence Day

I'm sure the words of Roosevelt's speech are recorded somewhere. Subtitles would have been nice; I wasn't around then.

Excellent idea. I found the transcription of President Roosevelt's July 4th, 1903, speech on The American Presidency Project. The full citation is in the description. Since only a part of his speech was filmed, I included the first four paragraphs of his oration as subtitles. Regards.
