Franklin Delano Roosevelt: The New Deal  There is no denying the fact that Roosevelt changed our country for good. He took us through the toughest, most trying times, and faced the greatest internal and external issues that has ever faced our nation. His great list of achievements goes on and on, and each of Roosevelt's accomplishments was as fundamental to our country's current opulence and stability as the next. Although each of his bills were vital for the country's recovery, the formation and passing of the New Deal could be justifiably argued to be one of FDR's most notable accomplishments.

 Twelve years ago, during Roosevelt's first one-hundred days, Roosevelt presented and passed a  remarkable series of new programs and bills designed for political and economical reform. FDR came into office to a nation devastated by the Great Depression. After Roosevelt was sworn into office on March 4, 1933, he quickly started to initiate a avalanche of programs and bills which focused of relief, recovery, and reform. From March 9 to June 16, Roosevelt sent bill after bill to Congress, all of which targeted on the first part of his plan, immediate relief. Congress passed virtually every bill FDR presented to them. This series of economic programs is known as the New Deal.

 The New Deal consisted of slew of programs and initiated government agencies, which focused on relief for the struggling American public. Many notable programs are as follows: media type="youtube" key="05BXjTXwbSY" height="389" width="479" align="right"
 * The Emergency Banking Act (March 9) created a system in which FDR had the power to reopen viable banks
 * The Economy Act (March 20) cut federal costs by cutting government salaries and veterans' pensions.
 * The Civilian Conservation Corps Act (March 31)employed young Americans to work in rural areas on road building, forestry labor and flood control. It established the Civilian Conservation Corps.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">The Agricultural Adjustment Act (May 12)was designed to help American farmers by establishing the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, which stabilized prices and limited overproductions.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">The Tennessee Valley Authority Act (May 18)was one of the most ambitious and controversial New Deal projects. The TVA proposed building dams and power plants along the Tennessee River to bring electric power to rural areas. It provided many Americans withe electricity and provided jobs, however, it outraged many power companies.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">The National Industrial Recovery Act (June 16) established the National Recovery Administration to stimulate production and competition in the country. It forced American industries to set up a series of codes designed to regulate prices, industrial output, and trade practices. This was another controversial act, and its opponents accused it of being socialist, un-American, and communist.

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"> Above is only some of FDR's collection of economic programs which he and congress passed during FDR's first one-hundred days. Many of the programs and bills were declared unconstitutional, and some were repealed a few years ago. Despite the controversy and opposition, it is clear that the New Deal was fundamental for our nation's recovery. FDR's New Deal helped pull our country back on its feet. Franklin Delano Roosevelt will be forever remembered, for his achievements and leadership. Although every one of FDR's accomplishments will be remembered for their importance, the New Deal and FDR's first one-hundred days will be forever remembered as one of his greatest.

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 24px; line-height: 35px;">**Roosevelt: Fight with Polio** <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Roosevelt was a courageous man. He had many battles, both internally and externally. From <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"> 1921 and onward, Roosevelt had polio. Polio is a disease that is caused by an infection of a virus. Polio can affect the nerves of the body and can lead to partial or full paralysis. The president was paralyzed from the waist downward. He was never able to fully walk on his own again. He either needed someone to help him walk, or a wheelchair. This is surprising to a lot of people because Roosevelt's advisers were very careful to only let there be pictures of Roosevelt above the waist. In fact, this picture below is one of the few pictures that shows Roosevelt in a wheelchair. This was to prevent the public thinking that Roosevelt was a weak person. (see Polio, page 3, for the rest of the story)

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 24px; line-height: 35px;">**Roosevelt: A Public Speaker** <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">During Roosevelt’s term, like all presidents, he had many opportunities to talk to the American public. Roosevelt was a master of talking to the American public. He was especially good of sensing ry)what the people wanted to hear and telling them exactly that. Some of his more famous speeches were made over the radio. These speeches were made in an informal manner, and were called the fireside chats. (see Fireside, page 7, for the rest of the story)

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 24px; line-height: 35px;">**Roosevelt: Eleanor, His Better Half** <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"> Before Roosevelt was diagnosed with infantile paralysis, he was wed to Ann Eleanor Roosevelt in 1903. Ann was a unique person. not only being a distant cousin of Franklin, but she was also the niece of president Theodore Roosevelt. In their lifetime together they had 6 children together, but sadly only five survived after birth. he first four children where born in rapid succession, one after the other. Even through Roosevelt's times of trouble, Elenor was there for him as a wife, and as a friend.
