Essays on Franklin Roosevelt

The 1880s were the beginning of dramatic changes in the lives of Americans living in urban areas. As cities grew at astronomic rates, the population expanded in conjunction to the Second Industrial Revolution and rose to over 15 million people by 1900. The Second Industrial Revolution was distinctly different from the first Industrial Revolution in that “pure science played a major role in developing new industries,” including the development of “steel, chemicals, and electricity” (Horn, Rosenband and Smith 84). For the average American, such industrial expansion and massive population growth dramatically altered the way of life for city dwellers. ...

Franklin Roosevelt

According to Franklin Roosevelt, the main cause of the problems experienced in the United States during that period was a lack of a firm belief in the American ideology leading to a situation where most people abandoned the need for empowerment in the country. To help deal with the issue of unemployment, Roosevelt (1933) suggested the need for commitment towards direct employment from the government itself. In addition, he suggested the requirement for a reorganization and stimulation of projects focusing on the country’s natural resources to help drive some form of economic empowerment. On the other hand, Roosevelt ...

Federalism in the United States has evolved over the past 200 years from an arrangement where state and national government powers and responsibilities were clearly distinct and separate, to one in which the line of distinction between the two has blurred.

A few of these clauses extended the power of the national government in order to prevent the hazards faced by the Articles of Confederation. In order to ensure that limitations still existed on the federal government, the Tenth Amendment was included. ...

The American states were not left behind in this quest by the European nations and as a result, their eagerness to colonize the American states faced opposition.

It is important to note that the main reason for the emergence of this ...

Every period in the history of a country differs not only in a number and sequence of events happening, people playing critical roles in it, or culture which defines people’s attitudes and behaviors. They also differ in perception of things and events by people, hence the variety of meanings people associate with certain ideas.

Therefore, the idea of freedom has been changing through American history, and the goal of ...

The presidential powers have considerably extended since the time when the Founding fathers framed the Constitution of the United States. At that time, the thirteen colonies that formed a newly established state were afraid of a strong executive leadership. They feared that if a president were entitled by the Constitution to have extended powers, he would have misused or abused these powers, governed by self-interests, rather than the interests of the nation. This skepticism toward strong leadership resulted from the experience that the founders had when dealing with the English monarch (The Declaration of Independence, 1776). In order to ...

Introduction

Contrary to most beliefs, the participation of the United States in the Second World War was made even prior to the Japanese attack of the Pearl Harbor. Despite its stance of non-participation during the war, the United States has been involved in confidential activities that aided the Allied forces against their adversary. Consequently, its role increased after it declared war against the Japanese forces, following the latter’s attack on the US fleets in Pearl Harbor. Prior to the declaration of war against Japan, the longest serving Secretary of State, Cordell Hull sincerely pointed to the Japanese ambassador: “There ...

In other words, we can trace whether he or she achieves his or her certain objective or not (Zarefsky). As for the particular inaugural addresses of John F. Kennedy, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Barack Obama, we may suggest that all ...

Nowadays, many people will stipulate that the Great Recession of a few years ago was just as bad, if not worse, than the Great Depression. There are similarities and patterns, to be sure. The effect globally was indeed worse this time around, because the world’s banks are far more intertwined and globalized now. People experienced a hard time getting back on their feet, and we had (and still have) a congress that is completely ineffective, throwing money at problems rather than actually fixing the regulations that allowed such a tremendous recession to take place. On the other hand, ...

1) Which were the primary causes of the Great Depression? According to Walton and Rockoff, an acceptable explanation for the Great Depression has to distinguish between the initial forces, which brought a downturn in financial activity, and later events, that turned a downturn into a calamity. We can detect two issues on the economy that foreshadowed the real slump in economic activity. First, there was a decline in the construction industry that began 1925, that had a significant impact on the depression. Second, the agricultural sector suffered greatly, with falling world prices and massive indebtedness (422). Walton and Rockoff ...
