Introduction

Who was the president during the Great Depression?, Hoover right. Do we blame him for americas downfall in the economy that left families bankrupt and out of employement Well we can argue that he did not cause the depression we can blame it on the fact that structural weakness were the first causes for the downturn in 1929, and specific events like massive bank failures and the stock market crash on october 29, 1929. Thats not the topic of selection at hand though, but it does shows relevance. When F.D.R was elected in 1932 he had alot of things to do, he came in believing that the depression was because of big buisness had to much money, and he proposed the NEW DEAL, which was intended as a remedy by empowering labor unions and farmers and by raising taxes on coporate profits. The most popular idea he had was the Regulation of the economy. He also proposed ideas such as Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Reserve, and Social Security those had had won widespread support from citizens.Do we give him the glory for ending the Great Depression?, thats what im here to research and explain throughly on.

Topic Selection

I choose Franklin Roosevelt for my NHD Project because I am interested in the historical happening of the Great Depression. Which occurred in the time period that president Hoover was under presidency. He was accused to have to do with the depression but can we give all the credit to f.d.r for helping to restore America to a rich nation.

Franklin Roosevelt is history, because of his efforts because with out his good-doing efforts this nation America would have fell and became the poorest nation, and would still be going through the Great Depression that would wipe through all the continents by stopping exports and imports. Thats why he was going to be excellent as my NHD selection

f.d.r

This year on NHD. im doing a project on F.D.R the president that saved america from the great depression. After Hoover put them through the tragedy.
Franklin D. Roosevelt helped the American people regain faith in themselves. He brought us hope as he promised prompt, quick action, and asserted in his Address, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself."He was elected President in November the year of 1932. By March there were 13,000,000 unemployed, and almost every bank was closed. In his first hundred days, he proposed and Congress enacted, a sweeping program to bring recovery to business and agriculture, relief to the unemployed and to those in danger of losing farms and homes, and reform, especially through the establishment of the Tennessee Valley Authority.In 1936 he was re-elected by a top-heavy votes, because of his popularity and the obvious way that he ran the country. Later on in years F.D.R died of cerebral hemorrhage while in warm springs in georgia.
I believe my NHD project will be decent because im doing someone that was influential to history more important our history.
