Was FDRs First Inaugural Speech effective? Franklin Delano Roosevelt became
president of the United States during the early years of the Great Depression where many people
were looking for work after losing their finances. After FDR started implementing his plan into
action, the country slowing started to heal despite the many problems occurring in the country
particularly with crime. As the late president once said, The only thing we have to fear is fear
itself.
What was the Great Depression? It was a time of great financial hardship; not only for
Americans, but any citizen of an industrialized country. It started with the Stock Market Crash
on Black Tuesday in October of 1929. Then President Hoover failed to address the fundamental
problems that plagued the working man. In fact, he did so little for the people that they named
makeshift shantytowns on the outskirts of the big cities Hoover-villes.
FDR clearly identified the plight of the workings saying, Values have shrunken to
fantastic levels; taxes have risen; our ability to pay has fallen; government of all kinds is faced
by serious curtailment of income; the means of exchange are frozen in the currents of trade; the
withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side; farmers find no markets for their
produce; the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone. During the crash, many
people lost their savings of their fathers father. They needed money for their poor lives but
didnt know where to find it in the banks or jobs.
President Roosevelt came into office with immense responsibilities on his shoulders. His
speech outlines his plans which can be put into three main categories, Recovery, Reform, and
Relief. Roosevelt said, This Nation asks for action, and action now. Our primary greatest task
is to put people to work He called for regulation of banks and businesses so that gold traded
values could be curbed or eliminated completely which happened once he sat down in the oval
office. For the farmers, out west suffering the worst of the Dust Bowl, they moved into the big
cities encouraged by the prospect of new jobs that FDR was stimulating.
Finally, he asked the citizens to change their financial ethics. Many people bought large
amounts of things on credit; meaning that people could spend for a products without necessarily
having the money to pay for it. He asked them to limit their spending at the same time working
for their families. He also encouraged to limit buying on credit. S
So, was the speech effective? Yes it was. It gave people hope in the darkest days of the
Great Depression. Most of his plans outlined in the speech were implemented bringing back jobs
to the country and the wealth that it once had. It slowly brought back the economy.

There were a lot of giant events that occurred in the early 1930s. The biggest one would
be the Stock Market Crash in October of 1929. The underlying causes of the crash which
included speculation, overproduction of food, and buying on credit, led to the Great Depression
which occurred worldwide just a decade after the First World War ended. Then President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, came into office with a plan on how to restore Americas economy.
