I've seen multiple polls of scholars indicate that FDR is consistently near the top of any list of presidents ranked by effectiveness.
Looking over his initiatives I've generally been impressed as much by what has been discarded as by what has stood the test of time. Given that the depression he presided over lasted all the way through to ww2 I've never understood why he's so deserving of such praise. So what makes FDR such a great president? If it's his war record what initiative did he take which changed the course of the war?
