FDR
Chapter 1: The Beginning Of The End
The year was 1933 for five years now The Great Depression had crippled the United States making 25% of the Population unemployed and homelessness increased as a result. The only hope was the upcoming election of the President who would decide America's fate. There was a single hope, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He was a Democrat running against the not so popular Herbert Hoover from California. FDR promised to help bring America out of the Great Depression with something that he called "The New Deal" which would bring relief, reform, and recovery from the Great Depression. Many liked the cut of his jib and many had voted for him. Before he was inaugurated he made a last minute decision to go to the sunshine state and go to the city of Miami. A man by the name of Guiseppe Zangara, a troubled man who was a bricklayer and an Italian immigrant nearly altered the course of U.S. history on a February 15th night in 1933 when he arrived at a packed political rally at Bayfront Park in downtown Miami with a .32-caliber pistol hidden in his pocket. He was a deranged man and as an anarchist sought to destroy what he thought to be the symbol of Capitalism. FDR had arrived and many wanted to shake his hand and meet the famed man and the city was a buzz with life. Since FDR had polio he was riding in his motorcade through the crowd until it stopped and FDR climbed to the backseat and climbed on to it and began speaking and it was a short speech on that day less than five minutes and how FDR enjoyed his fishing vacation and promised to come back to the state. Yet he would not be able to keep his word......
