  • Franklin D. Roosevelt from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Franklin D. Roosevelt From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Franklin Delano Roosevelt (/ˈroʊzəvəlt/, his own pronunciation,[2] or /ˈroʊzəvɛlt/; January 30, 1882 – April 12, Franklin D. Roosevelt 1945), commonly known as FDR, was an American statesman and political leader who served as the President of the United States from 1933 to 1945. A Democrat, he won a record four presidential elections and dominated his party after 1932 as a central figure in world events during the mid- 20th century, leading the United States during a time of worldwide economic depression and total war. His program for relief, recovery and reform, known as the New Deal, involved a great expansion of the role of the federal government in the economy. As a dominant leader of the Democratic Party, he built the New Deal Coalition that brought together and united labor unions, big city machines, white ethnics, African Americans, and rural white Southerners in support of the party. The Coalition significantly realigned American politics after 1932, creating the Fifth Party System and defining American liberalism throughout the middle third of the 20th century. President Roosevelt in 1944 Roosevelt was born in 1882, to an old, prominent Dutch 32nd President of the United States family from Dutchess County, New York. He attended the elite educational institutions of Groton School and Harvard In office College. At age 23, in 1905, he married Eleanor Roosevelt, March 4, 1933 – April 12, 1945 with whom he had six children. He entered politics in 1910, Vice Presidents John Nance Garner (1933– serving in the New York State Senate, and then as Assistant 41) Secretary of the Navy under President Woodrow Wilson.

Records of Navy launchings and namings had been preserved nowhere in book form up to that time. La- borious research in many directions was necessary to col- lect and verify fragmentary data. The present volume has been prepared primarily for the Society of Sponsors of the United States Navy, and also in response to requests for an up-to-date book, from non- members and from libraries. Full accounts of all launchings would be repetition. Typical accounts only are given. Complete biographies of individuals, or complete histo- ries of vessels are manifestly impossible in this volume. Historical notes are not given as complete histories. Bi- ographical notes of patriots for whom Navy vessels have been named are not given as complete biographies. Con- spicuous facts of biographies and of histories are set forth for the purpose of interesting and unmistakable identifi- cation and for the inspiration of every reader with patriotic pride in the achievements of our Navy.

    Franklin D. Roosevelt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 4/1/13 4:36 PM Franklin D. Roosevelt From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Franklin Delano Roosevelt (pron.: /ˈroʊz!vɛlt/ ROH-z!-velt or pron.: /ˈroʊz!v!lt/ ROH-z!-v!lt; January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945), also known by his initials, FDR, was the 32nd President of the United States (1933–1945) and a central figure in world events Franklin D. Roosevelt during the mid-20th century, leading the United States during a time of worldwide economic depression and total war. A dominant leader of the Democratic Party and the only American president elected to more than two terms, he built a New Deal Coalition that realigned American politics after 1932, as his domestic policies defined American liberalism for the middle third of the 20th century. With the bouncy popular song "Happy Days Are Here Again" as his campaign theme, FDR defeated incumbent Republican Herbert Hoover in November 1932, at the depth of the Great Depression. Energized by his personal victory over polio, FDR's unfailing optimism and activism contributed to a renewal of the national spirit.[1] He worked closely with Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin in leading the Allies against Germany and Japan in World War II, and restoring prosperity to the nation's economy. In his first hundred days in office, which began March 4, 1933, Roosevelt spearheaded major legislation and issued a profusion of executive orders that instituted the New Deal—a variety of programs designed to produce relief (government jobs for the unemployed), recovery (economic growth), and reform (through regulation of Wall Street, banks and transportation).
