After that he attended Columbia Law School 1904-1907), but he decided not to stay and not graduate. After all of that schooling, he became New York Senate. Around 1913 he became Assistant Secretary Of The Navy. In 1920 he tried running for vice president for Warren Harding, but was defeated by James M. Cox. So he decided to go back to practicing law. And was elected Governor Of New York in 1929-1933.

In 1932 Franklin won the Democratic nomination presidency, against Hoover. With John Nance Garner as his Vice President. His second election was in 1936 against Alf Landon, he still had John Nance Garner as his Vice President. His third reelection was in 1940, against Wendell Willkie. The fourth election was in 1944 against Harry S. Truman.

While he was president he helped push the world through WorldWarII and The Great Depression. In 1933-1936 he started several economic programs called The New Deal. 91933)Trying to give work relief to the unemployed, and recover all economic drama, Roosevelt made "The First New Deal". Which was aiming for short-term recovery programs called The Alphabet Agencies. Franklin worked with and promoted or implemented banking reform laws, emergency relief programs, work relief programs, agricultural programs, and industrial reform (the NRA), a federal welfare state, as well as the end of the gold standard and prohibition.

The second New Deal (1935-36) was for labor union support, the WPA relief program, the Social Security Act, and programs to aid farmers.

With so much practice, The New Deal ended World War II. And Roosevelt's very words after that were said on December, 1943, "Dr. New Deal" had given way to "Dr. Win the War."

The Great Depression

The Great Depression started on Tuesday October 29, 1929. It was the day the stock market crashed. The stock prices dropped tremendously and masses of people tried to sell their stock, but no one could or would buy them. The stock market seemed to everyone the most efficient way to get rich, and it quickly became the way to bankruptcy. Many people before The Great Depression had money in the banks that invested into the stock market for them. When the market crashed the people lost all there money and the banks were forced to close. That caused massive panic across the country. People saw that banks were closing all over the country, and went to their banks and withdrew all the money they had in their savings. The massive withdraws that were happening forced those banks to close. The businesses and big cooperation's were also affected by losing their own capital by bank closures or by the stock market crash. They then started cutting back their workers salary or cutting their hours and even firing them. In 1932 the unemployment count had drastically risen from 12 to 15 million unemployed workers to almost 25 to 30 percent of the workforce. It also didn't help that consumers were not buying anymore.
