FDR | Inauguration Address This is a day of national consecration, and I am certain that my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our nation impels. This is pre-eminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So first of all let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear. . .is fear itself. . . nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpEdYp1Nn-k

FDr’s Actions Bank Holiday Fireside Chats All banks were closed and inspected Only those deemed “financially sound” by Treasury Department got to reopen Fireside Chats FDR went on the radio, told Americans about the banks and his plan Urged Americans to put money in the banks when they reopened, tried to inspire confidence in banking When banks reopened, deposits were greater than withdrawals

FDR | The New Deal Focused on three goals [aka the 3 R’s] Relief: for the unemployed Recovery: measures to stimulate the economy Reform: legislation to lessen the threat of a future disaster The First Hundred Days FDR worked with Congress to pass 15 major pieces of legislation Alphabet Soup: the programs created usually had three words and they were known by their acronyms

FDR | Result of year one in office FDR and Congress created a huge number of programs and policies These programs didn’t restore prosperity, but they all reflected: FDR’s zeal for action His willingness to experiment His openness to new ideas Most noticeable change was in the spirit of the American people FDR’s actions had inspired hope and optimism and helped restore Americans faith in the nation
