History Hub presents a complete biography of Franklin Roosevelt from start to end, whose remarkable story inspires us even today.
On the 30th of January, 1882, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born in Hyde Park, New York. His father was James Roosevelt, an alumnus of Union College and Harvard Law School. At the same time, his mother is Sara Delano, which came from a family similarly recognized as the Roosevelts. During his childhood, Roosevelt often traveled to Europe with his parents numerous times. In 1887, James Roosevelt took him to the White House to bid farewell to President Grover Cleveland. The president said to Roosevelt that he should never be the president of the United States. Roosevelt spent his time with the adults, which helped him build up an appeal that would be useful in the future. This lifestyle of Roosevelt ended up being a disadvantage when his parents sent him away to Groton School since he was not used to people around his age. His bitter memories at Groton made Roosevelt attend and become a pioneer at Harvard. Roosevelt took subjects that would be useful in his political careers, such as government, economics, English, and public talking. During his late college years, Roosevelt met and fell in love with Eleanor Roosevelt, a distant cousin he had first met at a family Christmas celebration in 1898. A year before his completion at Harvard, he asked Eleanor to marry him.
Years later, Roosevelt became the president of the United States. He rapidly created a remarkable presence in the White House. He was again chosen for his second term as the president. This time, the United States had barely made its way out of the Depression. Hostility also occurred during his period because of the tension between Germany, Italy, and Japan. Roosevelt chose to run for the third time because he believed that the nation required further leadership to face what may turn into another great crisis in under three decades. In his last term, The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, which provoked Roosevelt to declare war. On April 12, 1945, Franklin Delano Roosevelt died due to massive cerebral hemorrhage.
Becoming one of the key players in the abolitionist movement, Harriet Tubman brought intelligence, courage, and persistence to the monumental task of overcoming slavery.
