Historical Reflection

Of all of the historical figures we have studied this year, including—but definitely not limited to—Presidents, philosophers, politicians, leaders, social movement-ers, and the many everyday people that have contributed to American history & culture, who would you most like to run into in college?

FDR would be a sweet person to have as a friend in college. He would be the cool nerd that you could rely on to help you on homework as well as be a good person to talk to.

I chose him because he was the only guy that seemed cool to hang out with. Hitler would be kinda weird because he would kill me, Hoover was not a very popular guy and that was about it. 

"The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces." When FDR tell us all stories about his presidential term, he often starts out by talking about the attacks on Pearl Harbor.

"The only thing we have to fear. . .is fear itself." This is one line that he will say over and over again. This was his most famous line from his inaugural address.
