Franklin Delano Roosevelt

By Frankie 

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the longest serving president of the United States. He was a governor of New York. A senator of New York. And a. Key role model in the United States history. 

 Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born January 30th, 1882, in Hyde Park New York. His mother was Sara Ann Roosevelt his father who died in 1900 was James Roosevelt 1. His mother and father were 6th cousins. Franklin had a half-brother named James rosy Roosevelt. When he was young, he learned to sail. When he was 16 is father gave him a sailboat. 

Except for attending public school in Germany at the age of nine he was mostly home schooled. Until he turned 14, he then attended Harvard and got an ab in history then he went to. Groton boarding school in Massachusetts. But then in 1900 Roosevelts father died. In 1905 franklin married Eleanor his fifth cousin once removed. 

Senator of New York 

Roosevelt held little passion for the practice of law and confided to friends that he planned to eventually enter politics. Despite his admiration for his cousin Theodore. Franklin inherited his father's reputation with the Democratic Party. But Theodore was a major role model. Assistant secretary of the navy in 1913 Roosevelt became assistant secretary of the navy in 1917. He was very helpful at motivating the navy sailors. And he was it for. Quiet a long time. Until the end of world war I.  

In 1920 he had a campaign for vice president he lost. In 1921 he caught polio and it paralyzed his legs for the rest of his life. In 1929 he was elected governor of New York. 

First term 

In 1933 he was elected the 32nd president of the United States. In 1933 he stopped the distribution of gold coins to the public, and all were melted down into gold bars. Except for a few that were saved. And that helped the U.S through the great depression. In 1933 he created the new deal program. 

Second term 

 In 1936 he set the new deal program into its second phase. And made a bunch of speeches. But kept a close eye on the advancements and moves other countries were making. But kept a caution about Germany. But in 1939 Germany invaded Poland. 

Third term 

In his third term everyone was surprised with a third campaign for election. When he won, he set the record for longest serving president. The beginning of hi 3rd term was quiet settle but in December 1941 japan attacked Hawaii and not even a week later he declared war on japan and Germany. And that sent the greater majority of the Japanese American Heritage. Into internment camps. 

Fourth term 

After the Yalta conference was quite unstable and he had had declining health since at least 1940. They ran some blood tests, and he was found to have high blood pressure and his heart was failing.  And there was no cure. 

 Death and remembrance 

On, April 12, 1945, in warm springs Georgia he said, “I have a terrific headache”. And not long after he died. He did lots of great things in his life. Today he is remembered by many memorials, and you should see his face every day on the dime.  

And that concludes my FDR bistro presentation. In my opinion He was one of the greatest U.S presidents he has over 100 written works about him and. Is known for being the longest serving president of the United States. He is on the dime.
