Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the 32nd president of the United States and a central figure in world events during the mid 20th century, leading the United States during a time of worldwide economic crisis and world war. Roosevelt ran into issues such as over 8 million people during that time was job less. He was focused mainly on the New Deal, which was a series of social, economical, and governmental reforms initiated by the administration of Franklin Roosevelt in response to the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Roosevelt entered office with enormous political capital. Americans of all political persuasions were demanding immediate action, and Roosevelt responded with a remarkable series of new programs in “the first hundred days” of the administration, in which he met with congress for 100 days. During those 100 days of lawmaking congress granted every request Roosevelt asked, and passed a few programs that he opposed meaning that he closed all banks for 100 days and did not open unless they were trusted by Roosevelt.
