I think I can make an argument. FDR essentially created the welfare state, defeated the Nazi, and established the US as the global power. I think it's pretty impressive. Washington founded the country but he was also a slave owner which is much worse than anything FDR did. Lincoln ended slavery but there was a civil war and slavery would have ended by 1900 anyway. It was already on its way out. The idea that the US without the civil war woukd have kept slaver to 1910 is somewhat absurd in my view.Edit: Brazil is the last somewhat western country I know of to end slavery and it ended in like 1890 or something.

Russia defeated the Nazis not FDR. America became a global superpower because of all the lend lease deals and that America was virtually untouched by the war.America was also double dealing by funding both sides. (-19)

FDR single handedly drove this country into the greatest era ever, and out of the great depression. He redefined what it means to be American. Showing that in-fact, the world can be better and we must all take part in making it so. The founders gave us independence, George Washington showed us what a good president looks like, and Lincoln put morals over country, but it was FDR that made the image of the modern American. Without him, the American dream almost certainly would have died in the 40s and for that reason he is my favorite president. (38)

FDR help fund the Nazi war machine. FDR was a racist. FDR hated Jews. FDR brought Fascism to America.FDR broke the Washington tradition of only serving 2 terms.Amazing how people call Putin a dictator for doing what FDR did. (-18)

Brought fascism?😂 respectfully wtf are you even talking about? (16)

Um if you do some basic research outside out the drivel that's taught in the American school system… you find that a lot of his policies are extremely similar to those of the very contemptuous people of his time. People simply tend to ignore the white washing of the history of those they admire. (-10)

This is quite a difficult question to answer as all the US Presidents have been presented with different issues to respond to and the handling of those issues could be viewed differently by people with varying points of view.FDR had to respond to two major events in US history. The Great Recession and the attack on Pearl Harbor causing the isolated US to enter an already raging world war. Neither of these events was US-only events but as this post is discussing US Presidents, we can go with keeping this discussion to the US only.I am not sure any other US President had to deal with twin catastrophic events. And while FDR's predecessor (Hoover) has been maligned for his handling of the Great Recession at its start it was FDR who came up with the programs that helped the people in the US get through this catastrophic economic catastrophe. He did this with the help of both Democrats and Republicans. Given the extremes that the Republican Party has moved it is unlikely the Republican... (1)

You're from the Confederacy? (2)

Were most post-WWII Brits actually Nazis since they voted out Churchill after the war? Most people at the time didn't care about ending slavery and were still very racist in the north. Then they lost a lot of men fighting in the civil war. After the war, reconstruction needed to happen which means spending money and putting effort into reviving the South. Obviously, that's not going over well with the northerners (and didn't with Andrew johnson) and of course the southerners still would hate Lincoln for ending slavery. (4)

Yeah, and it (Lousiana purchase) DIdn't include a lot of what is New Mexico/Arizona and parts of Texas. ) Gadsen purchase, Railroad related. Greek and Roman lore? I use it, but I'm not into it. I'm a western US Gal, I see stuff happening, and I'm curious. That mud people quote? It's hard to find, let me see if I can find it for you. Ugh! Google not being helpful. I put the link to my source in my notes when I was researching, and I rifted off of it. It's a little disorganized, so it might take me a bit, as it might be in a text file (Links to where I got information) or the beginning document itself. (It's about 200GB's of stuff, and I wasn't really focused outside of the story, but I can find it.) I know I fact checked it at the time and backed myself up. I was okay with being wrong.)As to Johnson and Jackson? I'm kinda leaning in your direction -- I can't find anything good about them. I try to take things with an open mind, and put myself into the time. Johnson? I've yet... (1)

Yeah Texas and all that was Mexico still I believe and that's where I was born. But considering a lot of people define bad as the absence of good I gave Jackson and Johnson a nod. However in terms of who did the most to negatively affect the country Hoover is also on the list. I can't imagine watching your entire country struggle and then saying "ahhh it'll work itself out bro trust me". Quite possibly the dumbest president at the very least. No wonder FDR had to come in and create "communist policies". Cuz if he hadn't and they reelected Hoover we probably could have been property of another nation by now. I honestly can't talk too much on presidents because Monroe and then from van Buren up to Lincoln basically did frick all that I know of. Taylor and Harrison died fast as heck, Harrison was sick and barely lasted a month. I know a little from people Lincoln and past and from Madison and before. But nah the rest of those guys were basically just nothing figures as far as the histor... (2)
