Answer 1

As a teacher, I tell my students not to use the information on Wikipedia because it is written by readers. No one edits it, and there could be false or unsubstaniated information on it that would make you look foolish should you use it.

Go to a homework help web site. I also agree with the other teacher who said you have not been looking forever, because the information is there, you just need to know where to look for it.

Answer 2

FDR:
+he got the US out of the Great Depression by eventually entering World War II.
+Social Security System, and regulation of Wall Street, those were some of his greatest accomplishments..
+Isolationist America: because of the effects of the First World War, instead of getting involved with WWII, he remained isolationist, and merely assisted Winston Churchill and Great British troops rather than joining an alliance. (this could be seen as positive or negative)
+March of Dimes, an organisation he founded.
-The First New Deal failed because he cut benefits from war veterans. People protested and the First New Deal was seen as a failure, leading to a new Second New Deal.


Ronald Reagan
-he had the opportunity to help end apartheid in South Africa, but refused to lend a hand. he instead supported the whites, leaving Fidel Castro help South Africans end apartheid literally single-handedly.
-he was pretty much racist. rather than helping end years of suffering for South Africans, he pretty much ignored the fact. because of this Americans were some of the last to get involved with Apartheid. it wasn't until people started protesting that the new Bush regime were the ones wanting apartheid to end.
+he did not ruin the economy.
+the us was not involved in a war

Sorry, I can't really think of anything Reagan accomplished. He wasn't that great of a president. I can't think of anymore Roosevelt failure's either. I hope this was helpful though, good luck.

PS: why can't you just research ;)

Answer 3

Reagan

1. Got the hostages freed from Iran. Carter had over a year and tried to negotiate. Reagan came in and threatened to bomb them.

2. He taught Americans what conservatism meant.

3. He defeated the Soviet Union. He had our military built up and the Russians could not keep up. They collapsed.

Failures

1. The Amnesty for illegals in 1984 I believe.

2. Not invading Iran for taking our hostages.

FDR

1. Got us out of the Great Depression

2. Fought WW2 as it needed to be

3. Only President to be elected to 4 terms

Negatives

1. His New Deal was a liberal utopia. This is the foundation for all the entitlements.

2. He died in office because he worked himself to death.

Answer 4

Jeez. Why do people keep wondering that Reagan grow to be the type of solid president? He grow to be as large a dope as Bush. He possibly would have brought about even more beneficial difficulty than Bush if he were in his difficulty. It grow to be Reagan, as an get mutually, who grow to be the right cheerleader in the 80's for deregulation. keep in suggestions deregulation? This grow to be the important reason behind the monetary mess we are in immediately. keep in suggestions how Reagan destroyed the soviet union, supposedly almost unmarried-handedly? Baloney. That grow to be done through secretary of state Zibignew Bresensky lower than the Carter administration. As California governor, he grew to grow to be out he mentally ill out to the streets so that they may well be homeless, and kicked the squatters out of empty homes which brought about sharp will enhance in the costs of house housing, causing more beneficial homelessness and ensuing crime. He grow to be dummy, that is all. Yeah Roosevelt grow to be ok. perhaps Jackson as he had the mind to comprehend funds and the braveness to handle large organization.

Answer 5

Reagan - failures

1. Reagan's contribution to the explosive growth of the Afghan heroin industry in the 1980s through his unconditional support for the most extreme Islamic fundamentalists who eventually attacked the us on 9-11.

2. The Reagan administration's unstinting support for Pol Pot's assaults on Cambodians from 1981 to 1989, as well as Reagan's policy of recognizing the exiled Khmer Rouge at the U.N. as the legitimate government of Cambodia.

3. Ronald Reagan used the language of conservative Christianity to explain why his Administration did almost nothing for the first seven years of the AIDS epidemic.
