Franklin Roosevelts doings?

Question

What were problems that Franklin Roosevelt faced and how did he try to resolve them which one had the biggest impact, and why?

Answer 1

Steve_geo is on the mark in terms of FDR personally. If you mean as a President, the biggest initial problem he faced was the Great Depression and then World War II. He initiated a lot of government programs and signed a lot of legislation, like the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the National Recovery Act, Agricultural Adjustment Administration, etc., to try to help get the country going again. What really got the country going economically was the mobilization to World War II, including the Lend-Lease Act, which was used to provide war material to Great Britain before we were officially in the war. To me, the Lend-Lease Act was probably one of the most important pieces of legislation FDR signed.

Answer 2

Franklin Roosevelt came down with polio as a young man in the 1920's. This left him gravely weakened, if not completely paralyzed. Yet he had to keep up the appearance of a strong and able man. His people would move him into a building through a rear window in order that he could make appearances smoothly. He tried never to appear in a wheelchair. He could stand and walk a few steps, and he tried to do so. When he sat in a chair, he had a blanket over his legs to conceal how thin his legs were.
