On March 4th, 1933 FDR delivered his first inaugural address to a panicking country. With a new man in, hope was the only thing that the people looked for and FDR delivered. FDR delivers one of his most famous quotes in the beginning of his speech with "the only thing we fear is fear itself". FDR states that the problem with the economy is material property and of the high taxes. FDR's next concern is with the unemployment. Revealing part of his New Deal, he talks about how the people just need to get their jobs back and war could be an option to get many jobs back. This man was the face of America as he will become the most beloved person alive to many Americans. He instills hope in all and executes this with soon to be joy, but he wants to be protected by God and wants him to help all. He ends his speech with "In this dedication of a Nation we humbly ask the blessing of God. May He
protect each and every one of us. May He guide me in the days to come."
