There have been several banking crises, but this is a very severe one compared to the others even that really hits because of uncertainty, because of panic.
And FDR does little to bring that about or to counteract that.
And people even talk to him.
Advisors say, why don't you do something about this?
Why don't you cooperate with President Hoover?
Why don't you take a stand?
And FDR's sort of response is, I want to start anew.
Hoover was willing to do a banking holiday.
That's what we associate with FDR.
Who wrote the speech where FDR proclaims the banking holiday was Hoover administration officials that were held over because they had the necessary expertise to be held over for a little while after FDR.
after the election.
So I think that that puts another side on that.
And then when you look at the Great Depression, we still have double-digit unemployment in 1941.
It's the longest depression in American history.
That's not a record to brag about.

How would historians assess him given that record as of 1941?
Not very positively.
Now, the wartime leadership, you know, certainly you had gangster countries running amok.
