Roosevelt was elected during our nation’s peak of the Great Depression. His inaugural speech was spoken to tens of millions of Americans, waiting to hear words of encouragement of what was to come. He then set forth his famous words: “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 of vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. And I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days …”
