Franklin D. Roosevelt Chapter Summary

Franklin D. Roosevelt was the 32nd President of the United States. While being president he was trying to lead our country through a time of economic depression and total war. Franklin D. Roosevelt was one of the most important leaders of the 20th century. Alan Brinkley, the author of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, wrote this biography in order to show Roosevelt’s life from childhood to presidency and all the trials and tribulations that occurred.

I have always said I would not have been president had it not been for my experience in. Theodore Roosevelt was a sickly child with an asthmatic. He was near-sighted and home schooled. Theodore Roosevelt was born in New York, October 27, 1858, he was vice president at age 42. He went to Harvard College Theodore nickname is Teddy, he was 26th president in 1901. He was the youngest president when he enters the office. Teddy created the national park with John muri. They created Yosemite Park and Crater Lake. Theodore Roosevelt was elected as the new governor of New York in 1898. Teddy was the second of four children. His dad was businessman and philanthropist.

There were many great presidents who left a giant legacy to one up-ed by the next president. Many of the men whom ran our country did their job in following and faithfully executing the constitution while other were thought to have been a waste of time in office. For me, the best president who ever ran this country was Theodore Roosevelt, The Progressive. Teddy was a man who was loved by his people, he was a man of action who cared for America a whole nation rather than just focusing on a single group. he passed many laws that kept many lives from being taken by horrible diseases. For example, Teddy passed a law that Americans would cherish for all of eternity, The Pure Food And Drug Act. This law made it illegal to sell food or drugs that were not labeled with the ingredients.

Theodore Roosevelt is said to have been one of the greatest presidents ever. Theodore Roosevelt expanded the role of the presidency into foreign affairs by using The Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, this stated that the U.S. had the right to oppose European intervention in the western hemisphere and also to intervene itself in the domestic affairs of its neighbors. This was brought about when the government of Venezuela stopped paying their debts to European bankers. As a result European naval forces formed a blockade around the Venezuelan coast and began to bombard their ports. Roosevelt saw this action as a potential threat to the U.S. and threatened to use American naval power to pressure the European navy to withdraw “…the

Even though he developed Polio and was paralyzed from the waist down, Roosevelt did not let his disability slow him and his intelligent ideas. (Maney) The New Deal helped the numerous amounts of people affected by the Great Depression. The numbers amount to 1

Ironically, FDR was suffering the effects of polio and could not walk. He understood pain and he believed taking action was the prescription for American’s current situation. The Great Depression struck fear in American’s heart. FDR acknowledged this fear and challenged America to rise up against the paralyzing fear and advance with confidence into

Throughout the ages there have been many great leaders. These leaders are powerful in many ways, with a strong control over the people, and a place in history. But who would have guessed that two cousins would be some of the greatest government figures ever? Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Theodore Roosevelt, both American presidents, both American Heroes. Without these dignitaries, the American advancement into the present day would be incomplete and/or impossible. They gave people hope through hard times and the spirit to protect their country and one another.

History is filled with events and figures that shaped the course of the future. In some cases, the world would be totally different without the contributions of certain people. No figure is more essential to the modern history of the western world than FDR. Franklin Delano Roosevelt positively contributed to the world when he was governor and president of the United States though the year that he was in office. His disability did not hold him back from doing great deeds in the world. For instance, he help the people of New York when the stock market crashed by setting up the( T E R A) he thought that it would help New York so that people with families could find jobs. The stock market crashed which led to the

Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th President of the United States and made a huge impact on the world. Not only was he the youngest President at age 42, but he was also a greatly respected war hero (Theodore Roosevelt). He was also the first US President to win the Nobel Peace Prize (Theodore Roosevelt - Biography). As President, Roosevelt looked at the role of President as a “steward of the people” (Theodore Roosevelt). Theodore Roosevelt was not only known to be the first modern President but also as a man who worked hard for the people of the United States, an international relationship builder, and the everyday type of person who people liked to be around (Roosevelt).

Napolean Bonaparte once stated, “A leader is a dealer in hope.” Hoover and Roosevelt had very different viewpoints on how to handle the Great Depression. Hoover preferred “rugged individualism,” and FDR preferred “helping hand” philosophies. Hoover believed in assisting business in hope that this support would create a trickle down impact which would lead to investment and more jobs. FDR, on the other hand, wanted to provide people with jobs to increase confidence and correcting failures in certain economic institutions, leading to a bubble up scenario. It is ironic that Hoover knew how it felt to suffer in poverty as a child, yet FDR better handled the job of reassuring citizens that he was the man to get the nation out of its slump.

          President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s program of relief, recovery, and reform that aimed at solving the economic problems created by the Depression of the 1930’s, was referred to as the New Deal. The Great Society was the name given to the domestic program of the U.S. president Lyndon B. Johnson. Both programs had similar yet opposing points.

Historians and scholars have often debated the success and failures of Franklin Roosevelt’s presidency since 1945. A number of scholars argue that he created jobs, boosted the economy, and helped America get back onto the road of becoming a great nation. On the other hand, it can be argued that his plans and ideas to create jobs only lasted for the short term and his acts created long-term problems. This paper will discuss Roosevelt’s life, his reforms, and both the positive or negative outcome those actions had on America. However, it must be stated, for the struggles America was going through, and the perseverance they held to triumph over their trials, was in part due to Roosevelt’s boundless leadership as president. Franklin Delano

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

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was a man of unusual charm and great optimism, which he was able to communicate to others. He had a broad smile and was a charismatic optimist whose confidence helped sustain the nation through its darkest moments during crisis like the Great Depression and World War II. He became one of the most beloved of U.S. presidents for four terms in office. But beneath his outward friendliness was an inner reserve and an iron will. His admirers emphasized the way in which he met the nation's problems. They praised him for insisting that the federal government must help the underprivileged and that the United States must share in the responsibility for preserving world

Americans have become used to politicians who will not go against their party’s line. Instead of having numerous free thinking elected officials who come together to ensure the welfare of society, we have two parties that control almost everything. This was not how Theodore Roosevelt led our country. He was a visionary and ethical leader. This paper explains why by describing Theodore Roosevelt’s use of visionary leadership to protect America’s natural resources by being an emotionally flexible leader and using his inspirational motivation. Theodore Roosevelt was an Ethical Leader because he put service before self by resigning from the position of Assistant Secretary of the Navy to fight in the Spanish American War and was a free thinker who went against his party to protect the welfare of society. Theodore Roosevelt has personal relevance in my development as a leader by modeling service before self and allowing me to see how I can improve my inspirational motivation. In order to understand Theodore Roosevelt as a leader, you should first know the impact of his visionary leadership.
