Explanation:
In his 1932 run for the presidency, Roosevelt asserted that he would help “the forgotten man at the bottom of the economic pyramid,” and pledged himself to “a new deal for the American people.” In his First Inaugural Address, saying “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself,” he sought to reassure the public amid the anxieties of the Great Depression.^3

As president he championed the series of federal legislative initiatives known as the New Deal. The New Deal was not a blueprint for action, but was instead animated by a spirit, as Roosevelt said, of “bold, persistent experimentation,” in which he would “take a method and try it: if it fails, admit it frankly and try another.”
President Roosevelt's policies were able to help certain aspects of America but also ended up overlooking a major crisis that was taking place in the country.
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt served as president from 1933 to 945 and swore to lift America out of the Great Depression by implementing what he called a 'new deal' which would basically deliver America from all its debts and set the country on a road back from the great depression and into a more prosperous and financially stable future.
- What essentially ended up happening was that through all his policies, the country was able to thrive not just politically but also financially.
- However, while alleviating the burdens of the Great depression there was a lack of awareness drawn toward the racist oppression that was plaguing several people in America, especially African Americans. So, while the country was able to move forward in terms of its debts it couldn't help push for the black liberation movement earlier in American history.
