It is believed that Franklin D. Roosevelt contracted polio, or Guillain-Barré syndrome, in August 1921 whilst on vacation in New Brunswick. His paralysis would greatly affect him, and ultimately leading to his death in 1945 after winning a fourth term in office. But what if?
What if FDR never contracted the disease and was never paralysed? How would this affect his policies, personality and political ambition?
What do you think?
