He said , he said that I. A- - I. January 30, 1882-April 12, 1945, often referred to by his initials FDR, was an American politician who served as the 32nd President of the United States from 1933 until his death in 1945. A member of the Democratic Party, he won a record four presidential elections and became a central figure in world events in the first half of the 20th century. Roosevelt led the federal government for much of the Great Depression, new business's domestic agenda in response to the worst economic crisis in U.S. history. As the dominant leader of his party, he built the New World coalition that defined modern liberalism in the United States throughout the mid-20th century. His third and fourth terms were dominated by World War II, which ended shortly after his death. Roosevelt was born in Hyde Park, New York, to the Roosevelt family, well known for Theodore Theodore's reputation. The 26th president of the United States, as well as the reputation of the famous businessman William Henry Aspinwall. FDR graduated from Groton High School and Harvard College, studied at Columbia Law School, but left after taking an exam to the Bar to practice law in New York. In 1905, he married his fifth cousin, once a estranged, Eleanor Roosevelt. They had six children, five of whom lived to adulthood. He won the New York State Senate elections in 1910 and later served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President Woodrow Wilson during World War I. Roosevelt was James M. Cox's assistant on the Democratic National Convention in 1920, but Cox was defeated by Republican Warren G. Harding. In 1921, Roosevelt contracted a paralytic disease, which was then considered polio, and his legs were permanently paralyzed. Trying to recover from his condition, Roosevelt founded a rehabilitation center in Warm Springs, Georgia, for people with polio. Although Roosevelt could not walk unaided, he returned to public office, winning the New York governor's election in 1928. He served as governor from 1929 to 1933, promoting programs to combat the economic crisis facing the United States. In the 1932 presidential election, Roosevelt defeated Republican President Herbert Hoover. Roosevelt took office at the height of the Great Depression, the worst economic crisis in U.S. history. During the first 100 days of the 73rd Congress of the United States, Roosevelt led unprecedented federal legislation and issued numerous executive orders that established the New Deal, various programs aimed at aiding, rebuilding and reform. It has established numerous programmes to help the unemployed and farmers in pursuit of economic recovery with the National Recovery Authority and other programmes. He also introduced major regulatory reforms related to finance, communications and labor, and presided over the end of the ban. He used the radio to speak directly to the American people, giving 30 fire chat radio appearances during his presidency and becoming the first American president to be televised. With the economy rapidly improving from 1933 to 1936, Roosevelt won a landslide re-election in 1936. However, the economy then went back into a deep recession in 1937 and 1938. After the 1936 election, Roosevelt sought the passage of a 1937 judicial reorganization bill (the court's packaging plan) that would have expanded the size of the United States Supreme Court. The bipartisan Conservative Coalition, formed in 1937, and blocked the implementation of further programs and reforms of the New Plan. Major surviving programs and legislation implemented under Roosevelt include the Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Labor Relations Act, and the Federal Federal Insurance Corporation, Social Security and the Fair Labor Standards Act 1938. The United States re-elected FDR in 1940 for a third term, making him the only U.S. president to serve more than two terms. After World War II after 1938, the United States remained officially neutral, but Roosevelt gave strong diplomatic and financial support to China, the United Kingdom, and, ultimately, the Soviet Union. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, an event he famously called a date that will live in disgrace, Roosevelt received a declaration of war on Japan by Congress, and a few days later by Germany and Italy. With the assistance of his top aide, Harry Hopkins, and with very strong national support, he worked closely with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai- shek in the Allied Powers' struggle against the Axis powers. Roosevelt led the mobilization of the U.S. economy to support military action and implemented The first strategy of Europe, making the defeat of Germany a priority over Japan. He also initiated the development of the world's first atomic bomb and worked with other Allied leaders to lay the groundwork for the United Nations and other post-war

    City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Mason Williams All Rights Reserved Abstract City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams This dissertation offers a new account of New York City’s politics and government in the 1930s and 1940s. Focusing on the development of the functions and capacities of the municipal state, it examines three sets of interrelated political changes: the triumph of “municipal reform” over the institutions and practices of the Tammany Hall political machine and its outer-borough counterparts; the incorporation of hundreds of thousands of new voters into the electorate and into urban political life more broadly; and the development of an ambitious and capacious public sector—what Joshua Freeman has recently described as a “social democratic polity.” It places these developments within the context of the national New Deal, showing how national officials, responding to the limitations of the American central state, utilized the planning and operational capacities of local governments to meet their own imperatives; and how national initiatives fed back into subnational politics, redrawing the bounds of what was possible in local government as well as altering the strength and orientation of local political organizations. The dissertation thus seeks not only to provide a more robust account of this crucial passage in the political history of America’s largest city, but also to shed new light on the history of the national New Deal—in particular, its relation to the urban social reform movements of the Progressive Era, the long-term effects of short-lived programs such as work relief and price control, and the roles of federalism and localism in New Deal statecraft.

Final General Management Plan / Environmental Impact Statement _____________________________________________________________________________ Mary McLeod Bethune Council House National Historic Site Washington, District of Columbia The National Park Service is preparing a general management plan to clearly define a direction for resource preservation and visitor use at the Mary McLeod Bethune Council House National Historic Site for the next 10 to 15 years. A general management plan takes a long-range view and provides a framework for proactive decision making about visitor use, managing the natural and cultural resources at the site, developing the site, and addressing future opportunities and problems. This is the first NPS comprehensive management plan prepared f or the national historic site. As required, this general management plan presents to the public a range of alternatives for managing the site, including a preferred alternative; the management plan also analyzes and presents the resource and socioeconomic impacts or consequences of implementing each of those alternatives the “Environmental Consequences” section of this document. All alternatives propose new interpretive exhibits. Alternative 1, a “no-action” alternative, presents what would happen under a continuation of current management trends and provides a basis for comparing the other alternatives. Al t e r n a t i v e 2 , the preferred alternative, expands interpretation of the house and the life of Bethune, and the archives. It recommends the purchase and rehabilitation of an adjacent row house to provide space for orientation, restrooms, and offices. Moving visitor orientation to an adjacent building would provide additional visitor services while slightly decreasing the impacts of visitors on the historic structure.

  • Lunga Vita Al Sud!
    LUNGA VITA AL SUD! (O come il Sud riuscì a vincere la guerra). POD: Nel 1862 il generale confederato Robert Lee marciò verso Nord, invadendo Maryland e Pennsylvania, prendendo completamente di sorpresa l’esercito nordista. Tuttavia un messaggero sudista che stava trasportando tutti i piani di Lee smarrì la strada e venne catturato e questo permise a McClellan d’intercettarlo con la battaglia di Antieman. Ma cosa sarebbe successo se quel messaggero non fosse stato catturato? 1860: in novembre, al termine di una confusa campagna elettorale con il Partito Democratico spaccato in due tra abolizionisti e schiavisti, il repubblicano Abraham Lincoln vince le elezioni sui democratici Stephen Douglas e John Breckinridge. Il 20 dicembre, con la secessione della Sud Carolina, inizia la secessione degli Stati Confederati. 1861: Il senatore del Missouri Jefferson Davis è eletto presidente provvisorio degli Stati Confederati d’America(Confederates States of America o CSA), con capitale Richmond. Il 12 aprile truppe sudiste attaccano Fort Sumter, al largo di Charleston in Sud Carolina, dando così via alla guerra d’indipendenza. Lincoln, insediatosi il 4 marzo, invia 75 000 uomini guidati dal generale George McClellan a invadere la Virginia ma questi sono sconfitti a Bull Run dal generale Robert Lee. George McClellan, considerato uno dei peggiori generali americani di sempre. 1862: Tra l’8 e il 9 marzo le truppe nordiste non riescono a prendere Richmond, capitale della Confederazione, mentre la USS Monitor e la CSS Virginia si cannoneggiano ad Hampton Roads. Il 25 aprile l’ammiraglio David Ferragut occupa New Orleans ma il 25 giugno Lee lancia la Controffensiva dei 7 giorni e espelle i nordisti dalla Virginia.
