LAD 33

Roosevelt's famous anecdote "Only thing we have to fear is fear itself" greatly represents the whole of his inaugural address. Most if it was a response to the American people's concerns about the new economic crises of the 30s. He promises that he will help to take up the burden of fixing the problems of the crises, as long as the American people also come together to fix the situation they are in. He essentially says he will be their leader, if they offer him their trust and support. He blames the crisis on greed and big banks and thinks that the government should be the one to step in in order to fix the problems at hand.

Lincolns address at Gettysburg is similar to FDRs inaugural
because it is solemn due to it being a response to difficult times
and unfortunate things in the past, in addition to proving
how both Lincoln and FDR gained the trust of the
American people due to them being the strong man during
harsh times when the people needed them
