Throughout his 12-year presidency, Franklin Delano Roosevelt showed himself to be a politician of the highest caliber.  He displayed a positive spirit, a widespread concern for the people, and an unmatched willpower in pushing through his most important policies and making them historic successes. To conclude, FDR was a remarkable and extremely successful president who is one of the most worthy to receive such an honor as being referred to as our best president

Theodore Roosevelt was one of the most popular, important and progressive presidents of the United States. He showed many acts of courage as president, which greatly shaped the direction the county went in both domestic and foreign policy. Roosevelt showed courage even before his presidency, while he worked as a frontier sheriff across the midwest United States. Both his college education at Harvard and years of service as frontier sheriff prepared Roosevelt to be an effective US president. Roosevelt's courageous accomplishments had a very positive impact on the nation.

One of his greatest feats of leadership was when he first became president he started a program called the New Deal were he totally reshaped the economic system in the United States eventually getting America out of the Great Depression. Franklin Roosevelt also joined forces with Britain and the Soviet Union to help stop the axis powers in World War Two. Despite the hardships of his presidency Roosevelt overcame them and became one of the most influential presidents in American history through the character traits of optimism, persistence, and leadership.

There have been many influential presidents during the history of our nation. A few examples include George Washington who led our country through the revolutionary war and our nation’s first president. There was also Abraham Lincoln who led us through the Civil War. However our most influential president is Franklin D. Roosevelt. During Franklin Roosevelt’s years in the oval office he would lead our country through one of the toughest times during the 20th century enduring the great depression and World War II. His influence on the United States and the world still exist today with charities he started, federal laws in effect

“A whole generation of Americans had grown up knowing no other president. He was a presence in their living rooms, he had called them my friends, and he had been at the helm of the two worst crisis of the century.” (“FDR”) The people loved his optimism and his sympathy with the less fortunate. (Perkins, 7) He was the people’s champion and they elected him to office four consecutive times. (Schlesinger, Time) President Roosevelt rescued America during the hardship that was the great depression. His decision to enter World War II played a substantial role in defeating fascism. Roosevelt believed in a multilateral effort in ending conflicts around the world. Franklin D. Roosevelt left an indelible mark of progress on American history.

Polio changed franklins life for ever, but he remained strong. Franklin was strong when he ran for governor only 9 years after contracting polio. Intelligence is also one of Franklin’s best leadership qualities. He demonstrated he had the brains to be president when he got the United States of America out of the great depression. From being a risk taker to making quick answers in the U.S.’s darkest hour franklin has proven that he is very courageous. Franklin was courageous when he decided to run for governor even though he had polio. Leaders rose to power, for many different reasons, to become very

The Lincoln Principle, If you never try, you'll never succeed, applies greatly to Theodore Roosevelt. If he had not tried to change America many things would be different even now. He regulated businesses more so that they didn't become as powerful as they were becoming. He wanted to change things so he did. If he had not pushed to have the Panama Canal finished it probably would have taken much longer and more people may have died in the making of the Canal from going slower and more mosquitos and such insects are able to suck the blood from people. This puts them at a higher risk to get diseases transmitted by the insects.

Out of all the men who have been President of the United States, there are some that just take the cake of who were the most influential and important. Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan being the top three. These three have impacted America tremendously from WW2 and helping the Cold war to ending The Great Depression. They were good leaders in a time of need which makes them well known and unforgettable.

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

It can be argued that Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who served as President from March 1933 to April 1945, made a considerable impact on the United States. Historical evidence suggests that FDR can be considered to have accomplished more during his twelve years of presidency to impact American civilization and politics than any previous American President, excluding Lincoln. Although FDR’s impact was partially due to the results of the American state of affairs; the Great Depression and the emerge of Germany and Japan’s war path, his solutions to the problems he confronted made him an impactful President. Americans elected FDR President in 1932 largely seeing as it was thought he had the ability to rectify the Depression more successfully than

America has seen many great leaders; Martin Luther King Jr., Richard Nixon, John Brown. Despite these many fearless men, I believe that Franklin Delano Roosevelt, also known as “That Man In the White House” has been one of America’s most influential presidents. The accomplishments of President Roosevelt and his wife, Eleanor Roosevelt, range from piloting through the Great Depression and World War II to drastically increasing the unemployment rate in the United States. He began a new era in American history by leading citizens out of the Great Depression that the country had deeply fallen into. He changed the life of every American citizen, proved what a President could do for their country, and accepted every challenge

There is no doubt that Franklin Roosevelt made some achievements. His management helped America’s economy rise up again. However, we need to know that most of the achievements that he did was more in his first two terms. His most famous document: the New Deal was delivered during 1933-1938. And we all know the New Deal was obviously delivered by Roosevelt’s first two terms. And when he tried to reelect, he didn’t sweep the reelection (Mike Sheppard). And I think the only reason that people trusted him was because that most of the people in America believed that they were at the edge

A mention of the name, Roosevelt D. Franklin to most Americans, rekindles the memories of the Second World War, the Manhattan projects and the subsequent bombing of two Japanese cities. What most of these people fail to understand is that Roosevelt's presidency was the Second World War. Turth be told, Roosevelt is one the greatest presidents the United States ever had based on his personality and the challenges he faced while in the White House. This paper discusses a number of aspects about one of the United States' celebrated presidents, Foosevelt D. Franklin, including his life history, challenges he faced, his achievements, as well as, some unique things about him and his presidency.

While a few times these qualities led to negative consequences, Franklin gave everything he had to his country and made significant changes that helped the United States flourish. As his predecessor, Harry S. Truman, so eloquently articulated, “In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better,” (Boerner). This statement is no truer than during Roosevelt’s presidency. FDR used his many qualities to lead the country through major changes including the Great Depression and World War II and entirely transformed the United States into a powerful world leader. While not acknowledged as readily today, America still works towards the greatness FDR established during his

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
