LAD #28: FDR's First Inaugural

FDR opens his inaugural powerfully by saying that the only thing America has to fear is fear itself. This meant, specifically, fear of the unjustified terror that was harming America. Both the economy and people were suffering. Next he address the fact that many people have face failure during this time and happiness only comes from achievement. The way FDR saw it was that the largest and most important task of America was get people back into work. FDR then continues to discuss how many things can attribute to more jobs. He states that both local and state governments should help out during this time. He mentions that credit cards and loans must be watched carefully, and that people should help each other; Americans are interdependent. He closes by saying that the nation faces a hard time but together they can pull everything back together. FDR will do everything in his power to help the country, alongside congress.
