Question

i have to include his biography and what he acheived. i need to write a bio on him.

Answer 1

Like Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt became president during a time of great national crisis. The Great Depression had closed banks around the country and cut industrial production in half. More than thirteen million people had been put out of work, and one quarter of the nation's farmers had lost their land because banks had foreclosed on their loans.

With ordinary Americans lining up at free soup kitchens in order to avoid starvation, Roosevelt knew that something that had to be done quickly. "Action and action now" was his March 1933 inaugural promise. Showing that he could be composed under pressure, Roosevelt tried to reassure people. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself," he said. Early on, FDR's cabinet appointments showed that he intended to make changes in the way the government was run, choosing liberals who were not afraid to experiment with bold reforms. He even appointed the first female cabinet officer, Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins.

There you have it, short and sweet!!

Answer 2

FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT, byname FDR. 32nd president of the United States (1933-45), the only person to be elected to the office four times.

In an effort to spur the nation's recovery from the Great Depression, he expanded the federal government's powers through a series of programs and reforms known as the New Deal. He was also a major Allied leader during World War II. The modern role of the United States government, in both its domestic and foreign policies, owes much to the changes that Roosevelt helped bring about.

Answer 3

On the other hand, he was striken with polio at an age older than it commonly hit and used crutches and wheel chairs for most of his life, a fact that was concealed by positioning him before the public saw him or having him speak seated in cars. He married a distant cousin. He had at least a couple of affairs and his wife and he lived separate lives. He was the apparently exactly the right man in the right place for the two keynote events of the 20th Century - the Depression and WWII.
He served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy under Wilson, He was elected in New York to the State Senate, tried to run for U.S.Senator and for Vice President, did win and serve as Governor of New York. and had the backing of the impressive Roosevelt connections, including the previous president, Theodore.

Answer 4

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945), often referred to by his initials FDR, was the 32nd President of the United States. Elected to four terms in office, he served from 1933 to 1945, and is the only U.S. president to have served more than two terms. A central figure of the 20th century, he has consistently been ranked as one of the three greatest U.S. presidents in scholarly surveys.

During the Great Depression of the 1930s, Roosevelt created the New Deal to provide relief for the unemployed, recovery of the economy, and reform of the economic system. However, the economy did not substantially recover from the time of his inauguration in 1933 until 1940, when war expenditures commenced.[1] His most famous legacies include the Social Security system and the regulation of Wall Street. His aggressive use of an active federal government reenergized the Democratic Party. Roosevelt built the New Deal coalition that dominated politics into the 1960s. He and his wife, Eleanor Roosevelt, remain touchstones for modern American liberalism. The conservatives vehemently fought back, but Roosevelt consistently prevailed until he tried to pack the Supreme Court in 1937. Thereafter, the new Conservative coalition successfully ended New Deal expansion, and closed most programs like the WPA and Civilian Conservation Corps, arguing that unemployment had disappeared.

After 1938, Roosevelt championed re-armament and led the nation away from isolationism as the world headed into World War II. He provided extensive support to Winston Churchill and the British war effort before the attack on Pearl Harbor pulled the U.S. into the fighting. During the war, Roosevelt, working closely with his aide Harry Hopkins, provided decisive leadership against Nazi Germany and made the United States the principal arms supplier and financier of the Allies who defeated Germany, Italy and Japan. Roosevelt led the United States as it became the Arsenal of Democracy and put 16 million American men into uniform.

On the homefront his term saw the vast expansion of industry, the achievement of full employment, restoration of prosperity, new taxes that affected all income groups, price controls and rationing, 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans, as well as thousands of Italian and German Americans, sent to relocation camps, and new opportunities opened for African Americans and women. As the Allies neared victory, Roosevelt played a critical role in shaping the post-war world, particularly through the Yalta Conference and the creation of the United Nations. Roosevelt's administration redefined liberalism for subsequent generations and realigned the Democratic Party based on his New Deal coalition of labor unions, farmers, ethnic, religious and racial minorities, intellectuals, the South, big city machines, and the poor and workers on relief.

Answer 5

I "know," not "no," quite a bit about Roosevelt. You can too. Why don't you go to a library and READ a good biography on the man. OR consult several resources again in the library and come up with the information you need. There has been much written about him. Go find out for yourself and stop relying on others to do your work. Good luck.
