People seem to forget just how tyrannical FDR was and laud him over WW2 while conveniently forgetting that he robbed Americans of their gold by EO, then jacked up the value to almost double what they force bought it for after the fact in 1934. The Supreme court antics and the massive failure of the New Deal that required a World War to bail it out. Not to mention internment camps of Japanese American citizens. He was easily in the top 3 worst presidents we've ever had and is only glorified due to the actions and heroism of American citizens during the war.
The New Deal started under Hoover and the world war didn't bail us out of the Great Depression. Roosevelt's death restored market confidence as investors were less terrified of jack boots coming to steal their shit. It wasn't until 1946 that the Great Depression ended.
