In the years 1929-1940, the American population faced the hardest economic blow ever faced in its history. This saw almost half of the American population lose their jobs, companies and banks closed their doors and due to lack of resources, farmers left their crops to rot in the farms as the rest of the country died of hunger. Despite these hard times, President Franklin D. Roosevelt managed to get the country through the Great Depression. I admire Roosevelt and his accomplishments at this trying time, that’s why I chose the Great Depression and the New Deal as my topic of discussion.
Through his vigilance and believe in his people he managed to get the country’s economy up and running again. Through his direct talks to the public over the radio in a program called, “Fireside Chats,” Roosevelt brought back hope and optimism to his people by instilling in them that the only thing they had to fear was fear itself. He also signed and passed notable acts such as the provision of a pension to the unemployed, the old and the physically challenged which are still helping the American people to date. The new deal by Roosevelt also saw the floods in Tennessee Valley being controlled and the water consequently used to provide hydroelectric power to the population. It is because of this accomplishment by President Roosevelt in a very challenging time in the American history that makes me admire his leadership qualities and consequently chooses this topic for discussion.

Several things were learned about the topic, the Great Depression, and the New Deal; such things include: Leaders are the pillars of the society and the decisions that they make determine the development or the failure of society. Leaders with good qualities make decisions that are reflected in the way of life in the society. During the administration of President Herbert Hoover, America faced a great depression, he, however, refused to help his people by claiming that giving financial support to banks and providing employment for the people would only make the Americans dependent. Roosevelt, on the other hand, came up with reforms, actions and his decisions were reflected when the Americans recovered from the Great Depression under his administration.
