On March 4th, 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his first inaugural address. He asks for the support of the people as America has endured many dark times. Roosevelt tells the people not to panic, stating "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." He then goes on to talk about the issues in material and money that arise from banking. He continues detailing the problems of the United States, including the materialism of the Roaring Twenties that led the money changers into the Stock Market Crash. The President is going to have safeguards, regulation, and stop speculation. He then discusses his good neighbor policy which he plans to respect the rights and agreements of other nations. Lastly, he asks for the people to trust him in the position he's taking since he is planning on assuming a lot of power.
FDR similar to Herbert Hoover tried to help America during the depression, however, FDR actually succeded.
