When a president dies it is the most tragic event, and if it is a really good president, it will be the most tragic event for that time. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was one of the best and most helpful presidents in American history. Franklin D. Roosevelt was born on January 30, 1882, in Hyde Park, New York. Franklin grew up in a wealthy family that paid for private tutors to further his education and studies that eventually led to English boarding schools and finally to senior class president of Harvard University. Franklin was very smart and successful in his studies that created success in adult life as he became a US Senator for New York. He became more famous and successful as President of the United States, serving four terms. During his four terms, the most horrible events seemed to happen in America as he helped lead America out of the Great Depression and asked Congress to declare war on Japan after Pearl Harbor as the United States entered World War II. Roosevelt as 37th president was elected to four terms as the public wanted a familiar and steady leader to guide them through bad times.

That is what President Roosevelt tried to do throughout his time as president. He helped create programs that created jobs after the great depression. He also tried to make good decisions as a leader during WWII and help create a safer world. While doing this his health became an issue as he developed polio though he did not let the disease impact his decisions towards trying to create jobs and make America safer. Franklin tried hard to not let polio impact his life or his decision making as president. All the strain of being president took its toll on Franklin as he died peacefully in April 1945, before he could see to the end of WWII. President Roosevelt had many terrible events occur during his time in office, but with him there Americans felt they had a friend helping them through hard times. That is why he is thought of as one of the great Presidents. ...more "
