The FDR Years
Born in 1882 in Hyde Park, New York, Franklin Delano Roosevelt entered public service through the encouragement of the Democratic Party and won the election to the New York Senate in 1910. He then became the assistant secretary of the navy, as well as the Democratic nominee for vice president in 1920. It wasn't until 1932 that he was elected president of the United States and took on the task of restoring faith in the American public after the economic devastation of the Great Depression.
