Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, is the person responsible for giving the teddy bear his name. On November 14, 1902, Roosevelt was helping to settle a border dispute between Mississippi and Louisiana. during his spare time he attended a bear hunt in Mississippi. During the hunt Roosevelt came upon a wounded you bear and ordered a mercy killing of the animal. The Washington Post ran a editorial cartoon created by the political cartoonist Clifford K. Berryman that illustrated the event. The cartoon was called "Drawing the Line in Mississipi" and depicted the bear hunt.At first Berryman drew the bear as a fierce animal, the bear had just killed a hunting dog. Later, Berryman redrew that bear as a cuddly cub. The cartoon and the story became popular and within a year, the cartoon bear became a toy for children called the teddy bear
