F.D. Roosevelt went into presidency after the fall of the American economy and start of The Great Depression. He set to change the lives American for the better. His “New Deal” he created has had lasting impressions on the American people still today with some of its effects still used by the government today.

Their importance was defined by the events they over saw. Legitimizing the new governmental obligations that brought them to power. While, the personal characteristics of FDR were resounding; it was the political events that led to his known success. Even when his “New Deal” failed to lead the Americans out of the Great…
