It was 1932, when Roosevelt, would acquire the renowned title of President of the United States by winning the election. It was sort of a platform for his campaign, as he said in Chicago Stadium, “I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people....This is more than a political campaign’ it is a call to arms. Give me your help, not to win votes alone, but to win in this crusade to restore America to it’s greatness.” (Freedman, p.82) As soon as Roosevelt was sworn in it seemed as though he was already making changes.
