Critical Thinking 23-5 #4

Franklin Roosevelt was a very successful president. He was able to help the country recover from a terrible situation; his New Deal plan, which gave people jobs, hope, and support eventually led to the end of the Great Depression. This was a difficult goal that the previous president, Hoover, was unable to achieve through his efforts. Roosevelt supported his country, and so it supported him in return, and he was reelected multiple times. He was not a perfect leader, though. The New Deal cost the United States a large amount of money, and some critics did not approve of his method of dealing with the Depression because it interfered with business. Also, he did not give much support to civil rights. Still, he successfully led the country through a difficult time, and he is often remembered as a great leader.
