i feel like franklin roosevelt was our best president anne franklin and eleanor -- president and franklin and eleanor were an important couple. the great depression and world war ii. transcendedder that in some ways what a political leader had been prior to that. fundamentally changed the way the federal government interacts with its citizens. when he became president, america was in its most dire state. to 35% unemployment. millions of people were homeless. people were literally starting in the streets. the federal government had an overall for helping them, no mechanism to help them. roosevelt said that is not right. this is a government by the people and for the people, so they have to support the people and find ways to put people back to work, help them provide for their farms, to improve the environment. he faced one of the great environmental disasters in american history because of terrible land practices in the midwest. they had plowed their prairies, caused the dustbowl. you had to stop this erosion of soil, he understood. the civilian conservation corps planted 2 billion trees

she was dedicated to franklin. as eleanor became more politically active, she had a life outside of family. and i think if there were conflicts between them, it had to do with the changing role of women happening during that period, and particularly, leanor's political awareness as she became part of the world with the first labor unions and the women's movement, and became an active political participant, not just a mother. brian: we are standing in the study of fdr, which he used when he was alive. died in 1945. where is the library in relationship to new york city, and how easy is it for people to get here? paul: hyde park is two hours north of new york city, right on the hudson river. going back a little bit, there is a reason a number of the leading families lived up here. roosevelts, vanderbilts -- there were a number of very important american families who lived along the hudson river, because it was essentially america's main street, particularly in the colonial era. it was a very important throughway for m

at the end of the year franklin, they were committed and franklin and eleanor got married in 1905. at that point i think the conflict between eleanor and sarah begin to evolve because eleanor became a mother and raised five children. there were differences and how you should mother. sarah had been a very doting, very devoted mother her whole life, dedicated to franklin. as eleanor became more politically active she had a life outside the family. if there were conflict between them it had to do with the changing role of women that were happening during that period and particularly eleanor his political worries that she became involved with first labor unions in europe and the women's movement and became an active political participant not just a mother. >> where standing in the study of fdr's which actually use when he was alive, died in 1945 where is the library relationship to say new york city and how easy is it for people to get here? >> hyde park is about two hours north of new york city right on the hudson river. going back a little bit there's a reason a number of the leading

people can argue but i feel franklin roosevelt was obeyed as president and that franklin and eleanor were the most important political couple. they helped end of the civil war. he only served four years. george washington helped create american democracy and serve eight years. roosevelt served 12 years through the great depression and world war ii and was a leader that transcended in some ways but a political - he fundamentally change the way the federal government interacts. when he came president america was in his most dire state. 25, 35 percent unemployment. millions of people were homeless. people would be literally starving in the streets. in the federal government had no role, no mechanism even to help them. roosevelt came in and said that is not right. this is the government for the people. therefore the government has to support the people.find ways to put people back to work. help them keep their homes, provide farms, improve the environment. he faced one of the great environmental disasters in american history. because of terrible land practices in the mess they had not pl
