//**Roosevelt, Birth to Death **// //**Franklin Roosevelt was born on January 30, 1882, in Hyde Park, New York. He was the son of James Roosevelt and Sara Ann Delano. Roosevelt was born into a privileged life, and enjoyed many luxuries during his childhood. Franklin's father was fifty-four years old when he was born, and his mother was very protective. Roosevelt attended Groton School in Massachusetts. His headmaster Endicott Peabody, who taught him public service and Christian duties, influenced him. Roosevelt attended Harvard, and graduated in 1904. He lived in the Gold Coast, where only the rich resided. He was the editor of The Harvard Crimson, the school newspaper. While attending Harvard, Franklin's fifth cousin Theodore Roosevelt became President. Franklin attended Columbia University Law School until 1907, when he dropped out because he passed the New York State Bar exam. He joined a Wall Street law firm in 1908, where he dealt mainly with corporate law. **//

//**Franklin met his wife Eleanor at a White House party in 1902. Eleanor Roosevelt was Theodore’s nice, therefore related to Franklin. They were married in 1905, and moved to his family’s estate in Springwood. They had four children in rapid succession, Anna, James, Franklin Jr., and Elliot. Franklin Jr. died as a baby, and a fifth child born in 1914 was named Franklin Jr., and finally a sixth child John was born in 1916. **//

//**Franklin ran for New York State Senate in 1910. After becoming the first Democrat to win Duchess County since 1884, he was elected to Senate. In 1913 Woodrow Wilson appointed him Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Franklin founded the United States Navy Reserve while Assistant Secretary. Roosevelt resigned from his position after the Newport Sex Scandal in 1920. Also in 1920, the Democratic Convention chose Roosevelt to become Vice Presidential Candidate with James M. Cox as the Presidential Candidate. After losing to Republican Candidate Warren G. Harding, Franklin retired from New York legal practice. **//

//**While vacationing in 1921, Roosevelt contracted Polio, and was permanently paralyzed from the waist down. Roosevelt tried many therapies for Polio, including hydrotherapy. He bought a house in Warm Springs, Georgia in 1926, and opened a hydrotherapy clinic for those affected by the disease. **//

//**Roosevelt was the Governor of New York from 1929-1932, and in 1932 he ran for Presidency. Roosevelt inherited one of the worst economies in American history when he won the Presidential race. He responded by creating the New Deal. Roosevelt continued to be reelected in 1936 and 1940. After the Nazi rise to power and the Italian invasion of Ethiopia, Roosevelt was put on a hot seat to either do something or stay out of European affairs. In 1939, Roosevelt rejected neutrality, and tried to help the British and French military. Roosevelt denounced the Nazi party, and hinted that he would have to stop them eventually. Roosevelt finally had an excuse to go to war when the Japanese Empire bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Roosevelt was reelected in 1944 for a fourth term, the most by any President. He died early into his fourth term in 1945 at his hydrotherapy clinic in Warm Springs. He was survived by five children and his wife. **//

**//Roosevelt's Accomplishments //**


 * // A nation that was already weeping for the loss of so many young men, now weeps for the loss of our triumphant leader of twelve eventful years—from the Great Depression, to the New Deal, and World War II—who suddenly died yesterday. However, instead of mourning his death, let us celebrate his eventful life. //**


 * // Franklin Delano Roosevelt entered office in one of our nation’s most trying times, in the middle of the Great Depression. The nation was in a state of destitution, and no solution appeared in sight, but FDR soldiered on anyway. //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Before the first year of his first term was completed, Roosevelt had already enacted the New Deal, a major bailout for the American public, who were drowning in the squalor of the economy. The New Deal was rightfully named, as it had never been done before, never before had the government offered monetary support to the American people, it helped the homeless and unemployed, and those on the verge of it. //**

**//<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Rest in Peace FDR. //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"> The success of Roosevelt’s presidency is clearly apparent, seeing that he served for twelve years and was scheduled for sixteen years until his tragic death yesterday. He will always be known as the forward thinker of our times, and for that he will never be forgotten. //**

//**<span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 250%;">Roosevelt's "New Deal" **//

//**<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Franklin Delano Roosevelt's "New Deal" FDR came into presidency in a tough period of time. When he went into office, the great depression was in full bloom: People were getting their houses and farms foreclosed, 1/3 of the population was unemployed, and nearly 34 million Americans made no income whatsoever. So, being an expert at capturing and keeping the interest and will of the American people, Roosevelt promised a "New Deal" for Americans if he got elected into office. It became one of his most well known slogans. When he got into office, he immediately started implementing these ideas with new programs like welfare and work relief programs (CCC, CWA, WPA, AAA, etc.). FDR believed that the government couldn't just sit back and hope that the citizens would just rise up from the ashes and it would all be better. He believed that the federal government should be part of the solution. Through this strategy and the New Deal, he was able to put the trust of Americans back in our dollar, and put many people back into jobs. When Roosevelt enacted the New Deal, he not only boosted the economy, but he boosted American moral. **//

//**<span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 250%;">Roosevelt Gives Elderly A "Security Blanket" **// //**<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">On August 14, 1935, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into action. Prior to this, many elderly people were unemployed. Americans seemed to be living longer but retiring earlier. For those elderly people trying to find work age discrimination made it difficult. People who ha worked hard all their life to support their families were suddenly living in poverty. Franklin Roosevelt knew he had to do something to address the unemployed, older Americans. **// //**<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"> As Governor of New York State FDR signed a law to provide pensions to the elderly and was ready to extend it nationally. As president Franklin Roosevelt created the Committee on Economic Security. Their recommendations provided the basis for Congress' 1935 Social Security Act. Under the Act, Congress put in some funds for the program, but the rest of the money came from a payroll tax. Money is taken out of an employee's paycheck to help pay for Social Security. Thanks to President Roosevelt, American elderly can sleep easier with the knowledge that they can be comfortable in their retirement. **//

 * <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Very few people know that Franklin D. Roosevelt was actually paralyzed. In 1921, FDR was on vacation at his family summer home in Canada when he started getting aches, weakness in his legs, and a fever. A local doctor disregarded it as a cold. It wasn’t until two weeks later when Robert Lovett, a specialist in polio diagnosed it as polio. Roosevelt would not let his disease slow him down. Aware of how the public might view him while running for office, he was able to keep his illness a secret. In 1931 Roosevelt made a radio broadcast to support a program for physically disabled people. In this broadcast he brought to attention his ailment. His strength inspired people to believe that polio could be overcome. During his presidency in 1937 he helped start the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was an incredibly determined and influential president, and his polio was just one example of his perseverance. **
