FDR President Franklin Delano Roosevelt 1933-1945
Born in New York • Born into wealthy family • Cousin of President Teddy Roosevelt • Like Teddy, FDR grew up outside appreciating nature / CONSERVATION • He was an OPTIMIST!!!!!
Election of 1932 • Beats President Hoover badly! • Electoral College Count = 472-59 (270) • Depression deepening • 25% un-employment • People looking for HOPE & CHANGE
Delivering hope and promise • Fireside Chats – gave people hope ……Listen now……no cellphone needed!!!!! **Write 3 sentences now describing FDR’s tone, topic, if you liked his speaking ability or thought it was blah….
The New Deal got America working instead of whining! • The New Deal gave them a new chance! -Civilian Conserv. Corp – (conservation) -Agric. Adjustment Act – (raise profits)
The New Deal -Public and Civil Works Admins. (PWA & CWA) INFRASTRUCTURE • SEC, SOCIAL SECURITY, FEMA
Good and Bad of early FDR • 2 years in = 2million more jobs lost, 10 million still out of work • Conservatives felt New Deal strangling economy • Liberal felt not doing enough
2nd New Deal • Deficit spending began = spending more than you have creating debt • 2nd New Deal tried to right the wrongs of the first • Unions developed and began taking hold • WWII saves the day!!!!! Oddly enough….
