11/23 And then the stock market crashed in 1929.

#FranklinDRoosevelt, a Democrat based in New York (the north!), won with a Texan as running mate.

As the effects of the crash mushroomed into the #GreatDepression, #FDR initiated several new #SocialPrograms primarily to help those southerners whose #plantations — er, farms — had become poor (since they'd lost their slave labor),and "forgotten".

The Democrats were sliding towards being more progressive and based in the north!

2/23 Who is the greatest American #president? Most short lists include:

#GeorgeWashington, the visionary #RevolutionaryWar hero, #FoundingFather and 1st president. Quite the resume.

#FranklinDRoosevelt, the only four-term president and architect of the #NewDeal. No slouch either.

However, the nod usually goes to #AbrahamLincoln. After all, "he freed the slaves" and kept the Union together through #CivilWar victory.

And, he was...a #Republican!

In #politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way
#FranklinDRoosevelt

Der letzte #König #Siams (Thailand) übergab sein Land dem US-Präsidenten #FranklinDRoosevelt als Geschenk. Eine Postkarte mit dem Schriftzug „Ich gebe dir Siam“. Wie der Deal ausging? Siam behielt seine Unabhängigkeit.
