4. The Depression and Roosevelt ► Roosevelt was elected just as the “Great Depression” came to be. Roosevelt created programs dubbed “Alphabet Soup.” These were programs created to help America internally, through federally funded programs and community outreach programs. Many are still in effect today.

5. Roosevelt’s Passing ► When Roosevelt passed in 1945 the country lost one of the greatest President’s America has seen. Roosevelt led the people out of a depression and through a war, all while being confined to a wheel chair.
