Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal: Transforming America through Leadership and Legacy

This overview explores the life of Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR), from his privileged upbringing to his groundbreaking presidency. FDR's early years at Groton and Harvard shaped his political ambitions. As New York Governor, he confronted the Great Depression with the New Deal, aiming to provide relief, recovery, and reform through innovative policies. Despite facing criticism, including from those like Dr. Townsend, he left a lasting legacy of expanded government and social programs. FDR's leadership not only helped lift America out of economic despair but also shaped modern liberalism and the regulatory state.
