The Great DepressionAfter the stock market crash in 1929, America’s economy went from bad to worse. More than twelve million people were out of work by 1932. Poverty was widespread, and Americans were desperate. President Herbert Hoover was unable to help. When FDR was nominated for President, he pledged a “new deal for the American people.” FDR was elected in 1932, and America stood on the brink of new era in social reform.

Truman takes the lead in 1948Vice-president Harry Truman became president when FDR died in 1945. When Truman asked Eleanor Roosevelt if there was anything he could do for her, she responded, “Is there anything we can do for you? You are the one in trouble now.”
Despite polls predicting an overwhelming Thomas E.
Dewey victory, Truman won the 1948 Presidential
election.
