Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s First Inauguration Speech [he won the presidency four times] is still seen as a landmark of oration, giving hope to the nation. Summarize what Roosevelt was saying the trouble in the nation was and how the country could overcome such trouble. Based on the Letter to Frances Perkins and John Steinbeck’s The Harvest Gypsies did Roosevelt refer to the problems in the agricultural regions of the American South and West in his speech and if not could the people there still find hope for the future in his words?
