    Being Jewish anywhere in the world was hard in the 1930s and 40s. Almost all know about German jewish hardship, the systematic slaughter of millions of jews in death camps across Hitler’s empire, but what many do not understand is that anti-semitism was incredibly strong in the United States as well. However, in a time when almost none stood by their side, Franklin Delano Roosevelt seemed the only world leader who cared. However, his cabinet did not share his welcoming attitude, and attempted to sabotage him. Although Roosevelt demonstrated that he did care about saving the Jews, his administration perpetrated systematic denial of Jewish entry to the country. Because he did not do enough to investigate this until it was too late, he is…

    Much of Roosevelt's success was a result of his cheerful personality. Beginning with his inaugural address- in which he assured the American people that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself"- he projected an infectious optimism that helped alleviate the growing despair.…

    1. It comes with no surprise that as leaders of a nation, presidents are expected to be charismatic, and rather captivating when publicly speaking. With this being said, it is generally distasteful for a leader to thoughtlessly slanders others. In Roosevelt's speech to Congress after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt effectively portrayed the Japanese as deceitful, scheming liars (of course, he states this in a more professional manner). This was in response to the fact that the Japanese were clearly lying about their hopes for peace to remain between the two nations, and their following decision to bomb Pearl Harbor. When the president describes the attack, he states that the U.S. was “suddenly and deliberately attacked.” He continues…

    “Every realist knows that the democratic way of life is at this moment being directly assailed in every part of the world-assailed either by arms or by secret spreading of poisonous propaganda by those who seek to destroy unity…”(Roosevelt 12). In this quote from his Four Freedoms speech he is addressing the problem beyond American borders which is World War 2. He is acknowledging that Freedom and Liberty is at threat and he is letting the American people know and Congress know that this isn't something America can ignore. “... we are committed to all-inclusive national defense”(Roosevelt 33). This here Roosevelt is saying that if we have to we will defend America.…

    Four Freedoms Park, a shrine to former US President Franklin D. Roosevelt lies at the southern tip of Roosevelt Island bordered by the choppy waters of the East River on both sides. The park itself is triangular shaped and compact, as it narrows and ultimately cumulates to a bronze figurehead of FDR himself which marks the entrance to an open aired room made entirely of white marble. The room which is enshrined with a portion of FDR’s Four Freedoms speech and creates an open space which leaves the viewer with room to contemplate not only the legacy of FDR himself but also the impact of his Four Freedoms speech on the American public and on the world as it is known today. The park is abstract, but majestic and poignant nonetheless, it gives…

    Throughout his tenure as a civil servant, Theodore Roosevelt perpetually involved himself in matters of reform. Well read and well traveled, Roosevelt expressed his wide array of political thought out of experience as well as an underlying desire to see the United States establish itself as a world power under the ideals of a democratic republic—a wolf amongst sheep on the world scene. The nation's twenty-sixth president laid the framework for foreign policy as we know it. He pressed reform amongst big business, and rallied for the rights of the laborer. Conservationism as well as environmental protection and preservation became issues at the forefront of Teddy's agenda. Another vital contribution to American political thought was Roosevelt's idea of the "New Nationalism," an analysis of American society and the roles which government and individuals ought to play. Theodore Roosevelt's progressive attitude, adherence to a strong moral basis, and genuine concern for his fellow countrymen all define him as a quintessential American political thinker.…

    Franklin D. Roosevelt said, ”The only thing to fear is fear itself.” He had said this to show people that he will take care of the problems the United States were having, and he proved it as they got through the “great depression.” and through “World War II.” He had started a thing called “100 days” that gave unemployed people many jobs. Franklin grew up on a big farm with his mom and dad and brother, he had wanted to work with politics and later in his life was in state senate for New york City. This quote shows how big his farm is and when he got elected state senate. “Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the pampered center of attention on his family's 900 acre estate looking over the Hudson River.” “When Franklin was 28, he won a seat…

    In his speech Roosevelt stated that “if the average citizen is guaranteed equal opportunity in the polling place, he must have equal opportunity in the marketplace” (Roosevelt n.d.). The government should promote justice, equality and stability inspiring much confidence on the part of the American citizens. Roosevelt saw the government as freedom’s ally compared to the previous presidency when the government was freedom’s enemy causing economic inequality. Roosevelt claimed that many government leaders forgot “what the Flag and the Constitution stand for, stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule” (Roosevelt n.d.). The New Deal resulted in a new role for the federal government supporting individuals financially and promoting economic stability in the country. Roosevelt saw economic security as a political condition of personal freedom, as “the New Deal reduced individual liberty for the sake of increasing economic security” (Cohen 171). Thus, the New Deal benefited the country and people living there changing the role of the government in the country’s economy and other…

    Although our historical memory remembers our 28th President Woodrow Wilson as the great man who got us through World War 1, or the man who founded the League of Nations, it likely fails to remind us of who he truly was on the inside. His racist views and his superiority complex to blacks all fail to resurface from our minds. It’s precisely because of the fact that we “heroize” him as being one of our greatest Presidents, and we don’t want to see him any other way. Even though he does have another side. But this other side is the reason why his name should be removed from the public policy institute at Princeton University.…
