Chapter 23 section 5 Critical Thinking #4

How successful do you think Franklin Roosevelt was as a president? Support your answer with details from the text.

I think Franklin Roosevelt was an extremly succsessful president. He, in about 200 days, fixed the nations economy and decreased the nations uneployment rate by a significantly large number. He created social security, making a back up plan for people who were not working of needed aid for certain reasons. He protected workers rights. He made jobs (CCC) that helped the nation by lowering the unemployment rate and helping the nation by building things like railroads, parks, and planting trees. He made a back up plan so that the banks in fact could not all go bankrupt at once again, and made it so people could only sell on margin with specific restrictions, making it so the nation could not go back into such a large amount of debt.
