Franklin D Roosevelt Perseverance

Franklin Roosevelt became one of the most successful presidents in U.S. history due to the three character traits of optimism, perseverance, and leadership. Roosevelt's optimistic attitude gave Americans hope to keep fighting through the Great Depression and World War Two, were most Americans were ready to give up. Jean Smith presents this idea when he quotes Roosevelt in his Presidential Biography FDR writing, “This great Nation will endure as it has endured will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that only thing to fear is fear itself… The effect of the speech was electrifying, the praise all but unanimous. No one doubted that a new era had begun” (Smith 302-303). Franklin Roosevelt lit the fire back

The 32nd President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, is one of the most remembered and honored presidents in history. He accomplished more in twelve years in office than most presidents did put together. Nevertheless, most of these outstanding actions were a result of events that were not caused by him, but was handled by him in a very effective and efficient way. In conclusion, he totally reshaped the idea of being an American President for all future leaders, and formed outstanding relationships with the public through his fireside chats. These chats consisted of a series of thirty evening radio addresses that took place between 1933 and 1944. Roosevelt had a passion for government and greatly increased the responsibilities

Franklin D. Roosevelt was a man who besides his intelligence, charm and strong confidence, he was able to sustain the nation through the most overbearing crisis know as the Great Depression as well as World War II. While managing to stay optimistic, Franklin Roosevelt helped people regain faith in themselves. Despite all the chaos going on at the time, “he was met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory (pg. 90).” He was praised for pushing the government to help those who were underprivileged. This was a new beginning in time for Americans known as the New Deal. He told the country to live by; “The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself (pg 90).” Franklin Roosevelt made a very

Theodore Roosevelt: ‘Teddy’, ‘Bull Moose’, ‘Rough Rider’, and ‘The Lion’. These were some of the nicknames of our 26th president of the United States. Theodore Roosevelt was known to be tough and couragous just like a lion. However, Roosevelt was a weakling during his early years. Because of his severe asthma, he was home schooled and constantly had to travel to many different countries. Because of his asthma, he often stayed home and spent his days reading. With the knowledge gained from reading and learning, he later got accepted to Harvard. But, Roosevelt was soon faced with another challenge. His father, who he looked up to, the most, had passed away. Following his father’s traumatic death, Roosevelt quit Harvard. These events taught Roosevelt many life lessons that helped him in the near future. Although Theodore Roosevelt had accomplished a lot during his political years, Roosevelt’s childhood and early life is superior to the other years because it made him into who we know him as today.

Based on the article “When Theodore Roosevelt Saved Football” by Bruce Watson (2014), football was changed into the game of football we know today. Bruce Watson has written numerous books based on events in American History. Also, he has had articles published in the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and the Boston Globe. Theodore Roosevelt had a Great love for the game of football.

When Roosevelt was only 39 years old, he was diagnosed with poliomyelitis (polio). After entering the office, he decided he wanted to mask his illness from Americans. He did not want America to look at him as being weak or helpless. Instead of staying in his wheelchair during speeches, he walked with the help of the secret service, his wife, and others around him. He would rest his arms on those around him, and requested that the press did not take pictures of him trying to walk. The secret service was also assigned to interfere with anyone who attempted to snap a photo of FDR struggling to walk. Unfortunately, Franklin Roosevelt died of Cerebral hemorrhage when he was 63 years old.

Franklin, stared down by two deadly diseases, survived both (although admittedly ending up crippled), and rose up to become the 32th president, and the only president to be re-elected for four terms. By proving to the world through overcoming his obstacles that he was determined, he provided a confident and secure leadership during the Great Depression, and World War II. Eleanor Roosevelt, originally a very serious persona, shows a more definite, compassionate persona to the public after her husband’s polio. In fact, her past experiences with grief and death (as she was overcoming obstacles after the death of most of her immediate family) made her the perfect person to travel around the country to comfort grieving family, and friends. Her overcoming obstacles (along with Franklin) caused her to inadvertently to overcome other obstacles such as her shyness, and become more of a role model, or place for inspiration.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, born on January 30, 1882, in Hyde Park, New York became the 32nd U.S. president in 1933. He was diagnosed with polio in the year 1921, making him paralyzed from the waist down. This, however, did not impede him from being the only person who has run for, and won, the presidency four times. Franklin died in 1945 from his illness but with great honor. FDR led this country through the Great Depression by implementing government spending programs that provided jobs in local areas, as well as leading the U.S through World War II with the help of this fine speech.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the thirty-second U.S president, and the only president to be elected four times. He led American through the trials of the Great Depression and World War II. He was born on January 30, 1882 in New York. Franklin D. Roosevelt’s curiosity, persistence, and self- confidence served to be extremely helpful traits through his presidency. When he combines all of his super powers together it makes an amazing success story. Sadly Roosevelt’s life was brutally taken by the deadly disease called polio in Georgia in 1945 from polio, a highly infectious viral disease; he still managed to lead this country to providence without fail. His is a president worthy of reputation; He was the beacon of light that led America to

‘He had been President of the United States for 12 of the most tumultuous years in the life of the nation. For many, an America without Roosevelt seemed almost inconceivable.’ This is the most subject piece of comment I’ve ever read for the president. Mr. Roosevelt is one of the most influential presidents in American history. He has been well known for keeping the disability of his legs as a secret from the public for decades yet showing the incredible toughness and great leadership as well as the all-time debating policy he introduced for fighting against the Great Depression between 1929 and 1933. At the age of 39, Mr. Roosevelt had all the required qualities to move up the ladder of his political career to the peak: wisdom, powerful social status, generous

Franklin D. Roosevelt “Be Careful,” the documented last words of president Roosevelt after passing away, due to a massive cerebral hemorrhage. Throughout his years as president, Franklin Roosevelt accomplished a number of feats, surmounting the economic collapse known as The Great Depression, whilst leading America towards the pride-defining moments of Pearl Harbor, and World War II. Although, much controversy has surrounded Roosevelt due to his decisions, in regards to the current situation and state of America, he has been defined as a great leader, whose leadership skills, ultimately gained him power and respect. Being only the 32nd president of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt became one of the most highly renowned presidents

FDR was the 32nd president of the united states. FDR was born with polio a rare disease which made him not be able to walk. People did not know he was handicapped until he came out and did a public speech. His first inauguration took place in 1933 during a dark time in America. This is a great speech talking about how we shouldn’t be afraid of the future. In this speech I will be going over what this speech is about how my speech is the best speech ever.

Roosevelt's pledge to his constituents as well as his political prowess and strong-willed demeanor placed hopes in the hearts of Americans. On the eve of his inauguration night alone, "Roosevelt told the nation that `the only thing we have to fear is fear itself and promised effective leadership in the crisis (Rosen)." Furthermore, throughout his four terms in office, FDR sensing that the American people needed guidance as well as comfort continued to aggressively lead the United States out of the Depression and later on persisted with his unique style of leadership as he was forced to take his constituents to war. During his time as president, Roosevelt's America was in a crisis and like most other nations throughout the world, in the same predicament; it thirsted for an exceptionally good leader with a superior moral compass and determination that was willing to take charge and point the way to a brighter future.

The authors of this chapter mostly described Franklin D. Roosevelt in a positive light and as a hero for ending the Great Depression. Before Franklin D. Roosevelt was president, he was the assistant secretary of the navy during the World War I. He was paralyzed in both legs from a condition called poliomyelitis. The authors thought that Roosevelt’s disability profoundly shaped his unique personality also. However, they noted that before his disability he was somewhat arrogant and overbearing. His painful experience made him understand the disabled and disadvantages better. It made him much more determined to succeed instead of feeling sorry for himself. He was elected president during the worst depression in American history.

He faced such great challenges and laid the foundation for America's success. Even more inspiring he faced said challenges will not being able to walk. Most people give up when such a tragedy faced them, but Roosevelt. Roosevelt faced his disability head on and became one of the most important presidents in American history. Taking a closer look at Roosevelt's actions from an ethical stance has not really changed my onion of him at all. The main thing that one could perhaps take issue with out be Roosevelt's leadership style. His values were a little off, but he stuck to his guns and accomplished much. His leadership style was largely based off a teleology philosophy. I have never been one to advocate the use of this philosophy as more often than not, the ends do not justify the means. Still, Roosevelt is the first person I think of when I have to remind my self the sometimes the ends will justify the mean. Roosevelt was put between a rock and a hard place and have to make tough calls. I have as much admiration and respect for this man as I ever had and I am glad he was the 32nd president of the United States of
