Franklin D. Roosevelt gave his first inaugural address on March 4th in 1933. He entered into his presidency while the nation was facing the Great Depression. At this point, he opened with his ideas and his famous New Deal proposition. He said that it was foolish for the country to deny that it was in a depression and that it should openly face it because soon, the country would turn it's economy and be back on its feet. He brought up many points, including the economy and employment. He was concerned about rising tax rates because people were unable to pay their taxes due to the high unemployment rate. His New Deal expressed his desire to give those people jobs. He wanted an honest presidency that was built upon proper ethics and diplomacy. He urged that United States of America to work as one nation; claiming that once we were united as one, our problems would go away quicker. He understood that he was in power and it was his responsibility to lead America out of the depression. He said he would take all actions necessary to deliver the nation to better times.
