= -ROOSEVELT DEAD- = ====After almost 4 terms, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt Dies Yesterday, April 12, in Warm Springs, Georgia Commander in Chief Roosevelt died suddenly. The death was related to a cerebral hemorrhage that overtook him just after lunch. With the end war in Europe in sight and the long pains of war still on his shoulders, Roosevelt had become physically and mentally worn out. He was enjoying a leisurely day. His portrait was being done by an artist and his family and friends were around him. He was taking a day off from the usual stress that he got from dealing with the war. The president suddenly felt a aching in his head. He grasped his head complaining of a sharp pain. He was suffering from a massive cerebral hemorrhage that would, minutes later, prove fatal. With the war coming to an end, he died still thinking about the battles happening across the ocean in Europe. //BY: Daniel Fournier & Kevin Roux.//====

Biography-

Roosevelt was born in Hyde Park, New York in a wealthy Republican family. He attended the Groton preparatory school at the age of 14, and went to study history at Harvard University. F.D.R. was very intelligent. After graduating in 1904, he got engaged to his distant cousin, Eleanor Roosevelt, who was the niece of Theodore Roosevelt. They were married in 1905 and had six children, five of which made it past infancy. After receiving his undergraduate diploma, he decided to study law at the Columbia Law School. He didn't like it very much, and dropped out after he passed the New York bar test in 1907. Roosevelt worked for several years in a small law firm before getting in to politics. It wasn't until 1910, when he won the election for New York state senate, did he become involved. He also was appointed Assistant Secretary of the Navy by President Wilson and a Democrat nominee for vice president in 1920. Roosevelt was appointed Governor of New York in 1928. Following his reelection as governor in 1930 he began to look towards presidency. Roosevelt was elected president in 1932, beating the Republican candidate, Hoover, by seven million votes. After he was elected, Roosevelt immediately looked to start the New Deal programs he had designed. Roosevelt felt that the use of government intervention to help the economy was needed. He supported and started government run associations. Eventually banks started to reopen and the relief helped to serve citizens hungry and close to starvation. The one problem was that the there was increased spending and a budgets that were becoming unbalanced. In general, the nation supported Roosevelt. After his reelection in 1936, he took on his critics, so mostly the Supreme Court. Eventually the Supreme court started deciding in the favor of the New Deal. Roosevelt paid much more attention to foreign policy after the war breaking out in Europe. He denounced the acts by Nazi Germany, but also hinted at the fact that one day America would not put up with Germany's action. and looked to find ways for the United States to support the Allies and "victims" (France, Britain, and China). Although neutral in the war, America increasingly supplied goods to those at war with both Germany and (when they became allied) Italy. The United States, although it felt it was safe, was thrown into the war by Germany and Italy's declaration of war against the US and Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. The United States felt there was no way to avoid the war. //By: Luke// Source: [] media type="youtube" key="3VqQAf74fsE" height="390" width="480" align="center"

__** How the late President Saved our Money **__

What might have been the president’s most well known accomplishment was his contribution to the American public during the Great Depression. When Roosevelt took office he took the responsibility for finding employment for the 13,000,000 unemployed voters. He also took on the increasingly decreasing GDP. America was not the only country in an economic depression, Roosevelt helped revive the economy of the world. President Hoover, Roosevelt’s predecessor, had said that “the dole would do more harm than good”. The situation had become so drastic that the suicide rates rose from 14 to 17 percent. After assuming presidency, Roosevelt promoted a wide variety of federal funded programs to help create jobs and to help boost the economy. He also gave weekly speeches on the radio to help boost American morale. Although it is questionable how much his relief programs did his speeches had a huge impact on the public creating a close relationship between the president and the American people. The late president Roosevlet used the war effort to help bring us out of the economic depression. Since America needed arms and armor for the war, people back home had to make them. This created a whole new industry that was basically nonexistent before. There were millions of people making bombs, tanks, guns, and many other warfare materials. //By: Cale Aerenson And Graham Haubert// Source:http://www.nps.gov/archive/elro/glossary/great-depression.htm

American Public does not know the truth about their leader

// Roosevelt keeps his Paralytic disease a secret from the American people //

When most people think about the late president Roosevelt they think about the strong, confident American leader. What most people do not know about him is that he had Poliomyelitis, better known as polio. This is a disease that paralyzed his legs and he could not walk for his whole time as president. In 1939 he fell victim to polio while vacationing at his family’s vacation home in Campobello Islands in Canada. The local medics thought that it was only the common cold. He was later incorrectly diagnosed by a vacationing specialist who said that President Roosevelt had a spinal cord injury. It was two weeks later that a polio specialist came to Campobello and properly diagnosed him with polio. Roosevelt refused to allow polio to ruin his lifelong plans of a life of politics. He rarely allowed the public to see him in a wheelchair. Two bodyguards who would aid him in walking up to the rostrum where he could lean on it and not appear to have any disability would accompany him. Our late president did not only lead us out of a depression and through most of the war, did all of it with a terrible disability.

Roosevelt and his stance on neutrality Over the months preceding Pearl Harbor the axis of Germany and Italy had made advances on the allied powers of England, France, Poland, Holland etc. With England struggling to keep from falling to Germany it was clear the United States would have to take action but Roosevelt continued to push for neutrality. Although he has passed the Lend-Lease bill, which allowed the U.S. to convoy materials to Britain, more action would have to be taken. Roosevelt claimed that he was attempting to please both groups against neutrality, and groups that demand isolationism, but as Germany pushed ahead it was clear, Roosevelt would be forced to choose one side.

Roosevelt shows more than political leadership

You may have known Roosevelt as the President of the United States but what you may not know is his leadership to youth in the boy scout program. In fact, in 1930 he was honored with the highest award for adults, the Silver Buffalo Award for his support to youth. Roosevelt attended many boy scout events saying about the program, “ Certainly those who help to make boys physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight in these times deserve the appreciation of all who are leaders in America.” Although, it may not be know Roosevelt’s leadership extended past the oval office.
