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.
Isn’t she going on a quarter this year..
She was a witch...
No, America was not saved, the Depression was prolonged by years. Roosevelt's policies were a disaster.
@@robertanderson9375if it wasnt for roosevelt, the depression would’ve lasted for more than decades if even could be recovered.
Ignorant capitalist lapdog
@@robertanderson9375 Obviously, Robert, you are too young to remember the depression. I remember, and my parents went without food so my young brother and I could eat. Without a good relative that overlooked their frequent non-payment of rent for a cold old house. God only knows where we would have lived. It was grim times and while with WPA and Relief we didn't go hungry any more, it was still lean times. One slice each of fried baloney was often meat for dinner.There has been no time that severe since.
When I was a kid in seventh grade social studies I had to interview someone who lived through the depression and WWII so I choose my grandmother. She lived in a small working class city mostly comprised of Italian and Polish immigrants. One of the questions I had to ask was what she thought of Roosevelt's policies during the depression. She said to me, "it wasn't until Roosevelt came into office that this city started to put it's garbage out". I didn't understand what she meant until years later.
No one could ever forget FDR . All of my elders that I respected through my early years were totally in favor of Franklin D.
ROOSEVELT ... They will always be among his devoted admirers...
FDR interned many Japanese people. What's so democratic about this?
@@ewcwewqw not diminishing the attrocites of the Japanese internment; it was awful and inexcusable. But the bastard got us through a depression and a world war. However, we all make bad decisions and particularly decisions that look even worse through the lens of history and modern sensibilities. But thankfully life's a box score and so long as you come away with more checks in the good box than the bad box, you're doing ok. And by that measure I, and virtually all presidential historians who consistently rank him in the top three presidents, think he did pretty damn well.
@@brianthomas2839FDR has helped me tremendously even years after his death. I am disabled and unemployed. I have medical attention and food thanks to his programs still available today. I couldn't thank him enough. I once read that someone said when he died that people would mourn him 100 years from the day he died, and I agree.
My Dad taught students in one of that era's CCC camps. He and my Mom voted for him every time and stood outside in long lines during a heavy snowstorm to vote him back for his final term. They always said Roosevelt and his wife, Eleanor, rescued America.
He was very fortunate that a war provided jobs and the economy boosting that he wasn't able to fix, the war ended the depression.
I believe all alone Roosevelt
knew one day someone going to
be arisen near future So he
knew oneday Italy would be the
toughest land to be, could be
longest holy land on the
earth and he knew about
it was the holy triangle
Perhaps he has well read
European history or he was
historian
So he designed future of his
Iife around that ltalian hstory
I am hard to believe that
his desire concord the
world how much he had to
sacrified his life?
Can you see what is the end
game now?
His holy beloved one?
I think he had enough
of arriving the holy holy
His mood changed drastically tired only.way
out was disappeared without
address so he did
He created a cult l am not
going talk about it
Then his main desire
was rob the all the banks
He used his men and women
in irder to fulfill his needs
Perhaps he was suffering
from strapedictomy
What about his thought ?
Is he alive or dead
Lets find out

Excellent documentary, very well written and presented. My grandparents had to work WPA jobs to survive the depression. They revered Roosevelt and passed that sentiment to their grandchildren.
FDR DREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT WAS SOCIAL SECURITY INSURANCE
gross
5:43 you really think it was because of his extramarital liaisons and not the fact that he married his cousin come on now
@@TylerDWard they were not first cousins. they were cousins many times removed. They shared like a great great grandfather.
@@celestejohnston6613they were 8th cousins. They shared a great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather. Their closest common relative lived in the late 1600s. They were basically separate families after 300 years of separation.
Eleanor Roosevelt was not “the youngest daughter of Theodore Roosevelt’s brother Elliott,” - she was the eldest child and only daughter of Elliott.
Isn't that still the youngest if she's the only one?
@Mag Tinfal only daughter would probably be the best way to put it.
@@magtinfal7908 Not if you're literate and know how to frame sentences within the English language.
Oh my God, that changes everything! I've being living in a lie about FDR's life for all these years.
Elliot hade a son out of wedlock
Oddly enough, Ronald Reagan stated he adored FDR and even “voted for him four times.” And even went as far to say that he “idolized” FDR and that he saved his family by finally getting his father consistent work.
Yet he couldn’t have been anymore different lol.
Idolized FDR, and later began the American far right's steady march toward it's current variant. MAGA.
And Reagan began undoing everything FDR did, particularly with regards to Wall Street
@@nole8923 Reagan was in a different era than FDR, and unlike FDR and Woodrow Wilson was colorblind. Just like FDR...Reagan did some good...and bad. We are suffering horribly in the US for many programs and philosophies that continued even FDR himself warned if they became permanent after the new deal would bankrupt the country. The government never downsized but continued to bloat
Reagan was a total lib, he was new deal supporting, Truman voting liberal. He could’ve been the next FDR ironically with his charisma and speaking ability, but well…some folks use their gifts for good, and others for not so good…
@@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.
“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little”
FDR
FDR interned many Japanese people. What's so democratic about this?
How do we explain the internment of Japanese Americans?
I truly appreciated how all the major events and progressive measures that FDR was either responsible for or involved was put in a comprehensive chronological order. An example was how the Midway success was prior to major European offensives. Truly an amazing journey through 3+ terms… it’s difficult not to acknowledge the impact he made in such a positive fashion despite the missteps. Truly fascinating , thank you for an excellent overview !
He was a SOCIALIST.
@@freddyfurrah3789No disrespect but the average American couldn't define SOCIALIST even if an armed socialist forced the average American to define it in order to save humanity. I'm not even trying to be funny but I'm dead serious like the average German.
PS: Socialism isn't that bad, go visit Socialist Democracies as Scandinavian countries are the 4 best democracies according to Historian's ranking. US is at position 26 classified as "not full democracy". That Index considers safety among other requirements which is the major reason for the position
This. Socialism is not some devil, if other countries have socialist policies and fare fine, what makes you dumb dumbs(Not you Tyrone) think it will hurt us? It won't, we already have some socialist policies(Public roads, Social security) and you crazies don't bat an eye.
Have an old picture portrait size of FDR...probably from the late 1930's..which is on my den wall...I salute him every time I pass by..he is as relevant today as ever..Thank you FDR
I have a picture of him I got in a Kentucky antique store. A cut-out magazine picture that was glued to a board.
We could use another FDR to come forward and earn both seats of Congress so his vision could be put into action.
@@capecod50s Expand the welfare mentality... No Thanks.
@@michaelcap9550making sure every American has a living wage, healthcare and housing isnt welfare, its called being a human being
His social projects helped form a bond between complete strangers that were away from home. This made men able to handle the bonds of soldiers during the war.
There's a great documentary about CCC camps from PBS about that.
@@kungfuchimp5788 isn't that the whole concept of social media?
@@kungfuchimp5788 let me break it down for you, when young men signed up for CCC for most, if not all, it was the first time these young men were away from their mothers loving arms, so being away from that comfort blanket was hard for them and I'm sure many were sucking their thumbs crying for mommy, so after a while with the boys it was a lot easier being away, and when it came time to volunteer or be drafted they were prepared for the army life. That's my opinion.

Appreciate the clear diction of the orator being quite deaf. Lovely voice.
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.
Yes, this is not taught in the history books of both India and pakistan
arguably, the US did
@@saadkhan1128 That’s because the history books were written by the political masters of respective countries under the influence of the British. It’s time to change the narrative.
Churchill , although I generally agree with you , was still an amazing man and leader , as well ...
@@michaelweber5702 Not for India.
If nothing else, he did, for a short time, have the world's best Presidental Yacht in the form of the USS Iowa.
Excellent video.
As a Canadian, and close neighbour of the USA, I admire FDR and agree with those who deem his policies during the 1930's and to the end off his life, as being the right man for the job, and probably the greatest President of the United States, and, all things considered, the best neighbour Canada ever had.
seen how much of a mess socialist policies have hurt Canada?
Being of age and how to manage the sequence of returns in those early periods is what seems quite scary in the current market. The market is never a loser in a twenty year cycle, but the 2000s decade scenario scares me and could really disrupt my retirement. When you are no longer accumulating but withdrawing its hard to be anything but cautious.
Some investors look to their investments as a source of income while others use it is a means to grow or preserve their wealth.

This was a very informative video with many details on FDR I had not known until watching, thank you.
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! Andrew "Andy" McKane, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii, 27 April 2023.
I agree. I think if we were able to boost the current economy to how FDR did then inflation wouldn't have been as bad. The government would need to stimulate the economy but the question is how. At least now we have programs to help the poor, disabled, old, etc.
what a nauseating eulogy
Such a boomer take lmao politically conservative but considers the most liberal/progressive president as the best. What kind of mental gymnastics are you doing to come to that conclusion?
@@OutofTime.. these ppl have no clue what fdr really did, it's so sad
@@OutofTime.. Unlike so many of the folks on the political left---male and female---who will never admit (or never see) the flaws in the candidates and politicians they support, I try to objectively weigh the men and women I choose to give my support to. As a World War II/Pacific War historian, I've been carefully considering FDR's role in WWII for nearly 40 years. I'm deeply impressed by the job he did as CinC of the U.S. Armed Forces and as President of the United States. I've compared Franklin Roosevelt to Donald Trump. While I voted for Trump in 2016, I see no way I could bring myself to vote for him again in 2024. Donald Trump is a divider. 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.

Over half the country hated FDR in reality. I loved his story. My mother and father loved him. He was hated by those who hated the poor. They claimed he was a “socialist” or “communist”. He just wanted to help those who were really suffering. Eleanor Roosevelt made it her mission to bring many Americans out of poverty.

Sad. 😢
The narrator alternates between pronouncing FDR's name as "Ruseavelt" and "Roseavelt." I believe the latter pronunciation is the correct one.
Roosevelt is a Dutch name in origin. According to the rules of Dutch spelling a double o is a long vowel. The best pronunciation of Roosevelt would Roseavelt.
Lobby meaning
Along with being Britain’s most formidable prime minister, his relevance in history increases throughout the years.
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.
The man was a tyrant
Yeah Sara had every right to look down her nose at Eleanor. After all the Delano fortune was made in the opium trade, twice. Franklin and Eleanor had no qualms about campaigning against her Cousins. Eleanor was a extremely jealous woman.
@@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.

This is really a first class presentation. It lends true meaning to “fair and balanced.” But it’s also enormously informative and eminently plausible. Thank you, your writers, editors, researchers and presenter have done excellent work.
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!

Exactly!! he was a Democrat but really a socialist and I think for the time necessary and needed for America then
He should be canceled and all statues of him should be ripped down.
@montrelouisebohon-harris7023 He was no where near a socialist he was a social Democrat. In fact he said he wanted to save capitalism by having more social policies otherwise we would have gone into full socialism
@@montrelouisebohon-harris7023 Then and NOW! Luckily we once again have a candidate that wants to enact the piece of legislation that he never got to do. The Economic bill of rights.

@@OutofTime.. OK he was a SOCIAL democrat, but he was still different from Democrats in his time because he wanted to add extra justices and have 16 on the court and even his own democrat congress said “ absolutely not!”. The legislative branch actually should have a lot more power in together more power than the president even though it’s coequal, separate branches of government, but I really years the legislative branch has he did so much in their power over to the executive to start administrative agencies because they have not been able to pass what they want to pass because of filibusters.. the filibuster was ridiculous. Being 2/3 majority of the senate, but I think 60 is a good number, but it doesn’t matter which political party because they both added too many agencies over the years. The ones that are most important like the department of defense, homeland, security health and human services, etc. and we have FDA & CDC & the ones we need the most like the ones I listed, including the FDIC seem to get shafted a lot for all these others.
Great documentary
Excellent
I find it so funny that the British, whenever they talk about us in world war 2, are absolutely enamored and astounded by our industrial capacity. As an American it’s a no brainer, comes with the territory of who we’ve always been. It’s what we do. Our true power rested in our generals.
As a Canadian with family in the UK they are always amazed how vast North America is. England minus Wales and Scotland is the size of Lake Superior. I live in Montreal Quebec. Quebec is almost as big as Western Europe. So to the Brits America is huge
Hyde Park, NY is in Dutchess County. My family have been residents of Dutchess County for generations. FDR never ever carried his own county in any of his elections. He was considered a dandy mama's boy.
I believe that we can learn much from the past.
I have been to Hoover Dam and the Pacific Coast Highway is full of New Deal bridges. I went to Yalta where he, Stalin and Churchill met to divide up post WWII Europe. What you would NEVER find today? Photographers NEVER took his pictures with his leg braces. Eleanor, was the most beloved first lady in the history of the USA and considered even through FDR died in Hot Springs, Arkansas with his mistress.
FDR interned many Japanese people. What's so democratic about this?
@@ewcwewqw It was horribly unfair. Only because they looked different but not German immigrants. But you also have to think about the times. Japanese submarines were on the Pacific Coast and the white bigots were more than ready to slaughter them.
Excellent determined man.
Thank you, thoroughly enjoyable video. I think he did a lot for America in bringing her out of the depression. Yes, there were some bad decisions but whoever in life has not. He was only human. We cannot , from our stage in history, judge people who were battling things we have never suffered. We have had greatly privileged lives because of these people and this man. To,moan and complain about someone is a basic right we take for granted. Try it in some other countries and see how you go. Everyone has the right to complain and the right to their opinion, I’m just saying that we are lucky to have it. 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
FDR did not bring the USA out of the Great Depression. It was the tax cuts after World War 2 that got economy rolling.
This is the bloke who attempted to stack the supreme court.
Confiscating businesses, homes and property from American citizens of Japanese descent and putting them in internment camps was disgraceful and unconstitutional. FDR wasnt great.
Thank you for the video. It was straightforward, and direct. I got a lot more information regarding FDR. I had always regard him to be probably one of our greatest presidents. As a child I remember my parents and grandparents talking about the great depression and the war years. as my mom would say many times, people stuck together and helped each other out. We still managed to have fun and sometimes we would pull some of our food ration tickets together and have a party. People cared about each other and did what they could to help out. Unfortunately, the country is so divided, we really to shape up and be more compassionate towards each other. Our American soldiers died for the freedoms we enjoy, let’s not destroy those freedoms.
A great leader. A true giant. We sure could use a Statesman like FDR now........An interesting question is would FDR have used atomic bombs on Japan? How would he have exercised America's super powers at the end of WW2? Many questions....Thank you for this most excellent production.
Serious question, not trolling: given that FDR was the only US president to serve more than 2 terms and that he served till the end of his life, AND that despots were kinda "in" back then, is there anything in the historical record to suggest that FDR was not just serving as President for an exceptionally long time for the good of the country but that, well..basically, that if he'd been in better health and younger he would have, for whatever reason, tried to be President for life?
Good question. Or would the people want him for ever?
Never heard of Civilian Conservation Corporation . My father was in the Civilian Conservation Corps.
As an African, I really wish I met him
Are you aware he put a member of the KKK on the Supreme Court.....Hugo Black.
You do know it's the Republicans that freed the slaves, yes Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.
As a black person from the south....please rethink your comment 😮
No you don't. He didn't like black people. For one, during a time when many government projects were facing budget cuts guess what project was allowed to keep total funding? The Tuskegee syphilis project.
He did a lot of good things but that really makes people view him through rose colored lenses today and they conveniently skip the bad things.
This is true. I think he broke 9 of the 10 rights in the Bill of Rights! Greatest Democrat ever!
What an amazing man. Obviously, he was a very compassionate person., who cared about the dismantled. I was born in South America and enjoyed this documentary. Thank and bring similar programs. 🙏
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.
Well he certainly asked for the war and worked very hard to achieve it so there's that. 😎
@@GregWampler-xm8hv What a ridiculous comment. He rescued Europe from total domination from the Nazis and helped to rebuild it after. Churchill was his puppet.
FDR extended the greeat depression and sent Jewish asylum seekers back to Germany to be murdered.
@@GregWampler-xm8hvwhat war exactly? Seems like someone is heavily engaged in rocks 😂
@@GregWampler-xm8hv It seems you're a little foggy historically. America was very much in the isolationist mode after WW1. And Churchill spent several years trying to convince FDR that the Nazis were a global threat, and that America couldn't just stand by. FDR didn't want war and it was only Pearl Harbor that pushed us in.
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.
Many of us hoped Obama would be that guy, but how he handled the bailout showed where he threw in his allegiance.
Many of us felt deeply betrayed by that epic sellout of the common folk.
Aside from the bailout of the already fabulously wealthy, I loved almost everything else about him.
But that was the most anti-FDR move imaginable.
Perhaps, but without Washington and Lincoln, he wouldn't have had a nation to save in the first place.
@@dannomusic47 non white I take it?
@@jimandersen3003 ya dont gotta be nonwhite to see whats happening right in front of you
Obama folded on a lot of important things (and also bombed kids)
FDR didn’t end the Great Depression. He brought relief but not the recovery. It took WWII to do that!
One of the greatest men this country ever had.
The Great Depression was extended because of FDR’s policies. And Russia got half of Europe after the war because the sickly FDR was rolled by Stalin!!
I don't think so.
@@Laurence1987uk that is perhaps true. I believe the multiple 3rd and 4th terms had much to do with the war however
Thats Right. And President Biden abandoned the Democratic Party. The Left would have thrown President Kennedy under the bus. They were going to throw President Obama under the bus during the primary, not black enough, spoke too highly of America, not willing to push the race issue in public schools. 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. JFK Democrats, Ohio. The Republican Party is fighting the Lefts extremists . Protecting Free speech, the right to life, saving the U.S. Constitution from Amendments that would remove the 2nd. and 1st. Amendment . Democrats, Wake the hell up!
He had to face the two biggest crises of the 20th century- The Great Depression and WWII. We were fortunate to have him.
Great
Back2Basic the first one to say,"let Big government Tell you!!😊
Awesome doc man. But the marines named it Henderson field after a pilot killed at midaway
We remember him today, April 12, the date of his death 78 years ago in Warm Springs, GA. For me personally, our greatest President after Lincoln. 🇺🇲💯
That's my birthday lol
Same here. Except I'd have Trump first, second and third, and then whoever afterwards.
The man who helped to keep Haiti in depression......
Leaders would do well to study FDR.
Ugh. He supported Woodrow Wilson..the worst President in history. I did not know that
Fdr was charismatic where Wilson was not and was able to make an American version of fascism.
Not only that, but Wilson became an important mentor to FDR during his presidency and 30-40% of the latter’s administration were alum from that of the former.
The subtleties of twisting history
Indeed a great man, not least for broadening out the only F word to matter:Fortitude...
And good music. And good life. I hope the dream. For the nation
To bad 2nd Bill of Rights never became a thing in the States
We are quickly turning into the welfare state this Bill would have achieved. This ideology worked well for the Soviets, right? This socialist stupidity known as redistribution of wealth is nothing more than shared poverty! I know this, I was in the USSR
Yes
If Marianne Williamson is elected president in 2024 we might just get a new economic bill of rights she’s fighting for it! You might just lightly here in the distance the campaign song of FDR’s happy days are here again!
Elenore Roosevelt, one of the greatest women of US history.
Was she hot?
Like a giant wave they return.
And the best film. For you
The man that made gold illegal.
FDR was in many respects, the greatest world leader of the greatest generation. His vision and policies lifted the nation and the world out of one of the darkest periods in human history. The American people and the world owes this man homage for his unparalleled contributions!
My God, you need to look at what you're smoking. He was the only president in history behind executive order to round- up American citizens and put them into concentration camps for the duration of world war II and on top of that left no means for them to keep their capital so they lost everything.
You liberals follow each other blindly.
HE WAS TRASH
He was the absolute worst and started the decline of this nation
Eleanor Roosevelt redefined what a first lady can be. Henry Wallace redefined what a vice president can be. It's really sad that Henry Wallace was eliminated by the democratic machine in the 1944 election.
Yeah man great Story about him :). Let us start again for a better Future 4 us all ^^
He has had an overpowering impact on the modern world. That is without question.
❤
17:56 he quite clearly forgot which side of wwii he was on
That's like being the tallest dwarf
He set America on the right track for decades to come. 😀
By promoting the welfare state and dependence on government hand outs. Job well done.
A great president and great man , he used the struggles his disability caused him,to help him empathize with the suffering of the American people in the depression , which made him want to lift people out of poverty , then to lead us through the war unto victory even though he didn’t live to see it. He had his own demons like anyone like any normal person, he wasn’t perfect by any means ; but he was the right person at the right time in history to lead us in a an uncertain time . The type of person we need to lead us now

Sure, with good also comes bad. Internment of Japanese Americans without consent of congress and giving broad powers to J. Edgar Hoover to ride roughshod at the FBI for instance.
@@rockyracoon3233 hey you’ll hear no argument from me, I’m half Japanese myself so yeah I’m more then a little miffed at executive order 9066 , trust and Hoover that guy was dirtier than an old rug
