Assesment of Roosevelt

To a certain extent Roosevelt was responsible for the improvement for many Americans in the 1930ґs but it was not just down to FDR, himself, there were other factors to, such as the war, trade unionists and cinema. When the USA became involved in the Second World War, the demand for American manufactured goods and food increased dramatically, this in turn meant that the economy was lifted out of the depression. The Wagner Act …

…was not responsible for this in any manner or form. In conclusion life did get better for many Americans in the 1930ґs. Roosevelt was partly responsible for this because he introduced the New Deal, rescued the banking system and introduced thirteen new laws to deal with the emergency. Other factors, which helped for a more prosperous future, were the war, trade unionists and the cinema. These three elements had nothing to do with Roosevelt.
