    I am old enough to remember FDR's reign and the depression. Yes America was saved, but Eleanor traveled the country reporting what she saw and nagging her husband to do the right thing. He was very political and didn't want to act if it alienated groups he needed. She was recognized later, but never fully for her part in saving us during the depression. They should share the credit.

      @@gb-jg1ud ​ -Reagan policies were great for the wealthy and corporations but horrible for the M&L classes. Reagan policies have reversed most of what FDR’s policies achieved. Reagan was what a far-right republican was in 1980. FDR was a far-left Dem. Their policies created opposite economic systems. Reagan policies result in the very high income and wealth inequality, FDR policies resulted in the lowest income and wealth inequality we’ve ever had by 1950/60’s. We are still on Reaganomics/trickle down economics. It’s Reagan’s policies which resulted in average M class wages becoming stagnant, L class declining, and U class wags skyrocketing. Have no clue what u mean by “we are suffering horribly in the US for many programs and philosophies.” R u saying if the New Deal policies became permanent, they would bankrupt the country? If so, that’s just false. However, over time, the policies do change as needed, for example, the initial investment was only needed in the beginning, the added government jobs were only temporary, until the private industry could get back up and running to employ those who were working for the government. He did that bc we had no unemployment at the time. He basically created an unemployment program but ppl had to work for the government to get it. Later, he passed Social Security which included an unemployment program. We don’t have too many federal employees, that’s just gop disinformation, we have too few. The gop would like to get rid of all our democratic institutions bc the gop works for the interests of the wealthy and corporations who don’t need EPA, Labor dept, HHS, IRS, HUD, etc bc the wealthy and corporations don’t need or want these institutions bc they audit taxes, or work for the M&L classes. The gop elites would like to be the government but in private industry, they want to control the country and decide what the M&L classes need, only they feel the M&L classes only need whatever works great for the wealthy and corporations. That’s bc that is what benefits the wealthy and corporations financially, they want to exploit labor all they want, they don’t want a government looking out or protecting the M&L classes. For anyone in the M&L classes and country as a whole, we benefit much more from a government and all our institutions, and the last thing we want is what we have which is more of an oligarchy, which gives the wealthy and corporations the power, they r making the decisions for the country, it’s what they want, and not based on the majority of the votes in a democracy. To reverse the damage of Reagan/GOP policies, we need to repeat 1932, landslide election for a far-left Dem, and swing to the left for all levels of government.

    Historians rate FDR as the third greatest president but I rank him as #1. The reasons are too many to list here. No president cared more about average working Americans as much as he did and did not bow to corporate power. Got us through the Great Depression and WW2 and left America as the greatest nation the world had ever known. He set the framework for 3 decades of the golden age of the middle class by the time he died. It took the economic royalists til the 1980s to unravel the protections he established for average Americans and their economic well being. I’m old enough to remember how good things were before they were able to do that. I pray that before I die we can have another one like him.

    Excellent video biography Franklin Delano Roosevelt. I'm a seventy-five year old male who, for most of my life, considered myself a political conservative. In October 1983 I embarked on a serious study of Pearl Harbor and U.S. entry into WWII. Until sometime after commencing this study of Pearl Harbor history, I didn't think much of FDR. As a matter of fact, I had a very low opinion of the man. I considered FDR a "socialist." Now, having spent some thirty-nine years making a serious study of the events leading up to 7 December 1941 and much of what has been published about U.S. entry into World War II since that "date which will live in infamy," Franklin D. Roosevelt has become my favorite American President. As for Eleanor, she remains a First Lady without equal. This country, the United States, could use a new President who has all of FDR's ability, his powers to persuade people (even when doing so requires some large degree of back-handedness), and FDR's wit and charm, his public speaking ability to fully communicate with Congress and the American people, and his love for all people. And let us not overlook FDR's understanding of the U.S. armed forces and global strategy. Couple FDR's skills to a First Lady with Eleanor Roosevelt's skills, and we'll have the best Presidential couple this country has had since Franklin & Eleanor lived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and their estate at Hyde Park, New York. Thank you very much for putting together this superb video biography and for putting it on RUclips where it's available to everyone and without cost!

FDR knew that leadership required unifying the American people to fight and win the Second World War. Andy McKane, 18 July 2023 while on vacation at Waikoloa Village, Hawaii.

    FDR without a doubt was the greatest leader of the United Sates, and most probably of the World. The challenges he faced were, without question, MONUMENTAL. Nothing before or nothing after rose to the level of what he had to deal with. We were lucky that he was in office during the depression and when the greatest war in history broke out. He did WHAT needed to be done, when it HAD to be done, whether it was popular or not. I am a Republican, and I stand in awe of the man.

    If one analyses how India got independence, it can be seen very clearly that the second world war was the primary cause that led to freedom of India. But it was finally FDR who ended imperialism for good and enabled India's independence.
    Hitler played a major role in destroying the might of Britain, indirectly freeing India from the British yoke. At the same time, at the end of the second World war, the United States of America had become the supreme power with the atom bomb. If the US wanted to colonise India or the rest of the world, it could have easily done so. However, there may have been other political reasons too which prevented such misadventure. But it was FDR who removed imperialism to pave the way for freedom and democracy to usher in a world for peace and progress. Thus FDR was the most important leader who enabled India’s independence.
    There is no doubt that Churchill, if reelected, may have tried to prevent giving freedom to India. But he was voted out by the right minded people of England who selected Sir Clement Atlee who was also in favour of giving India independence.
    One can see very clearly that Franklin D Roosevelt had a leading role in giving India independence. Hitler played an indirect role by starting World war II and effectively destroying the economic and military might of the UK. The colonisers thus succumbed to the second rebellion by the Indian armed forces inspired by the spirit of Netaji Bose and INA and decided to leave India.
    In the final Analysis even though the US was in a position to reign over the world , it chose to end imperialism and usher in freedom and democracy. FDR being the president of the US was the architect of the new free world and the creator UN. Therefore, he can be called the greatest leader of the 20th century.

    At the 7 minute mark, they talk about the political parties switching platforms, policies, and names which is something that nobody who promotes this theory is able to point to any specific policy enacted nor any document or book from that period providing any evidence to support this supposed swap. The only thing anyone has ever been able to point to is from decades upon decades later without providing any actual evidence for their claims. I am more than willing to look into anything anyone is able to provide to support this. In fact, I not only welcome it, I encourage it!

In other words, he was his own man. When it comes to Leftism in which the Democratic Party has swung, Biden said yes. And when the Left said jump 10 ft' Biden said, ill do 12 ft. so to speak.

    There are a few things here which are incorrect. First off, while Sara Roosevelt WAS involved in FDR's education, he had private tutors who taught him both in New York as well as in Europe where the family spent significant time in the winter season. FDR actually enjoyed Harvard and fit in quite well. It was at Groton that he was miserable. By all accounts, he was bullied by the other boys and did not fit in with them even though they were the sons of other wealthy and upper social class families. He did drop out of law school, but only because he passed the New York State Bar after like his second year. Unlike today where you actually need a law school degree to sit for the Bar, back then, that was allowed and it was common for men to do that.
    After their marriage while they did visit Hyde Park often, their actual principal residence was a townhouse in New York City which Sara had built for them as a wedding present. She designed it as a sort of duplex with connecting doors on each floor so she could come and go at will as she lived on one side and Franklin and Eleanor on the other. It was THIS residence where Eleanor felt no privacy and also felt under the thumb of Sara as Hyde Park was always Sara's house until her death in 1941. Sara not only though them too young to marry but she also objected to Eleanor because of her father having been an alcoholic and committed to a sanitarium. Which was very hypocritical considering her OWN father Warren Delano was an alcoholic.
    The reason Franklin became a democrat even though he had republican (at the time) beliefs was twofold. First, his father had been a democrat. But more important was that Teddy Roosevelt had sons and many thought they would go into politics. Given Franklin's ambitions, he did not want to compete against his cousins or risk losing because they had the advantage of their father being an extremely popular former president.
    FDR did NOT want to replace aging Supreme Court justices. That would not be constitutional. What he wanted to do was to 'pack' the Supreme Court with New Deal sympathizers by actually increasing the size of the Supreme Court from nine to a maximum of 14 justices. He wanted to add one justice for every sitting justice over the age of 70. He did this under the guise of lightening their workload due to their advancing age.

    • @retroguy9494
      @retroguy9494 4 месяца назад +1

      @@martinham1409 Yes, you're right about the Delano family and opium. It came from China. As a little girl, Sara went to China with her parents. Back on one of the old clipper ships. It was a very uncomfortable trip in those days and she was violently ill with seasickness.
      There was indeed some bad blood between the Oyster Bay Roosevelts and the Hyde Park Roosevelts after Teddy Roosevelt's death. His widow went out and gave speeches supporting FDR's opponents in the presidential elections.
      I wouldn't say Eleanor was jealous. She had been extremely hurt emotionally as a child by her relatives. Teddy's daughter Alice was very mean to her when they were teenagers. Then there was FDR's affair with Eleanor's secretary Lucy Mercer. The poor woman was always getting hurt. Also, she suffered from depression. It ran in her branch of the family. Doctors and historians all agree that Teddy Roosevelt suffered from it and one of his sons even committed suicide because of it.

We vilify those hearings McCarthy. Who is trying to find enemies of the United States yet we build monuments to FDR, who, in time award did the exact same thing seeking enemies yet he threw Japanese Americans into camps. You know that the Democrats tend to dismiss that as necessary, and and a fault of Roosevelt yet basically erases McCarthy from any sense of defending the country!
