1933 - 1945
The Great Depression 1929-1941The depression was world-wide. In the U.S., the banking system collapsed and 12.8 million people were unemployed. Hardest hit were youth, minorities, the elderly, and workers in the consumer durables industries. There was widespread hunger and suffering as communities ran out of charitable and government relief. FDR's "New Deal" programs, some more successful than others, helped to stem national despair and boost public confidence.

World War IIOver the course of the War, President Roosevelt practiced diplomacy by meeting personally with World Leaders. Late in the war, the president urged Congress to provide for veterans' education, unemployment, disability, and pension rights. The G.I. Bill benefitted approximately 10 million returning servicemen and women.

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)The CCC was a New Deal program begun in 1933. At its peak, it provided work to revitalize America's natural resources for more than 500,000 unemployed men between the ages of 18-25. Each volunteer enrollee enlisted for an initial six-month period and was paid $30 a month, $25 of which was sent home to his family.

The End of an EraThe many experiences gained during his summers on Campobello most certainly helped mold the man who was elected to an unprecedented four terms of office as the 32nd President of the U.S. He cherished the memories of many happy summers spent here on this Canadian island. Except for brief visits in 1933, 1936, and 1939, his duties prevented him from returning. President Roosevelt died of a cerebral hemorrhage at Warm Springs, Georgia on April 12, 1945. He was 63.
