What made President Franklin D. Roosevelt popular with the American people?
In 1929, The Great Depression seized America. The country wallowed for four years in

desperation, until a new leader was elected. Franklin Delano Roosevelt came to the presidency in 1933
7

focused and with a plan like never before. His so called New Deal was the innovation of policy at the
time, and the public responded in turn. The country seemed to be on the steady process to recovery. The
twelve years of desperation from 1929 to 1941 changed the face of America today
As unacceptable and intolerable as this notion may be, most Americans still believe revered men,
painted with stern expressions and white powdered wigs over two centuries ago, were the last attempt to
afford rights to citizens; however, forgotten is the four term president, who introduced a Second Bill of
Rights, in the year 1944; Franklin D. Roosevelt's words ring true today in support of the changes that
must take place in America to be the country envisioned. The country didnt recover until Hoovers
successor, Franklin Roosevelt, spent billions of dollars on his New Deal. In times of economic downturn,
laissez-faire is not an option. The government must be actively involved in job creation by spending
money on programs to provide relief and employment for the unemployed
Without TV to occupy most peoples time, most American families who had gathered around a
radio listened to these fireside chats. Roosevelts competition was fairly tough the first time he ran for
office. Not only did he barely win the election, he also had trouble winning the nomination for his own
party. He was up against John Nance Garner (who would be his Vice Presidential running mate), Newton
D. Baker, Alfred E. Smith. For three ballots, Roosevelt held a large lead, but lacked the two-thirds margin
necessary for victory. He was desperately going to need some help to win this one. His campaign manager
then promised John Garner the vice presidential nomination, which he grudgingly accepted.
The Great Depression was a trying time in American history. Unemployment reached levels that
are unknown to us today and millions lost all of their life savings. Franklin Roosevelt offered hope to the
American people in a time of need. The New Deal offered sweeping legislature that radically changed the
role of the American government. For all of Roosevelt's efforts, the American economy never extricated
itself fully from the Depression. It would take the most horrific war of the twentieth century to bolster
economic production and finally end the depression.
Roosevelt used his diplomatic power and refused to recognize the Japanese puppet state of
Manchukuo in Northern China until there was an official apology. Shortly after Roosevelt's statement,
8

Japan made an official apology to the US and offends to pay for the damages in full. It is without question
that FDR is one of the greatest leaders ever to grace the face of this earth. From his powerful,
motivational speeches, to the fact that he was the leader of the most powerful nation in the world for 16
years, the facts are perfectly clear. Franklin Delano Roosevelt is well-deserving as being selected as the
Outstanding Individual of the Twentieth Century.
