Source 1: A Roosevelt library transcript of a "fireside chat"
In April of 1938, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt used one of his fireside chats, a radio broadcast in which he spoke directly to the American people, to discuss economic conditions five years into his presidency. Elected in response to the devastating financial crisis that began with the stock market crash, Roosevelt assumed office in a nation fraught with unemployment, hunger, failed businesses, and lost homes and savings. Noting in his speech that America had seen economic and social recovery, he also let his audience know that his administration would not ignore the fact that many people continued to suffer from the effects of unemployment. Mindful of the fact that some sectors of the economy were on the road to recovery while others had been left behind, the president called on the government to act.
Roosevelt laid out a five–point plan that would address housing, infrastructure, and unemployment issues. Seeking support from the people who would benefit from the varied projects, he framed his appeal both in economic and political terms. While he called attention to the need for jobs and economic justice, Roosevelt also asserted that the democracy of the United States was in danger. Roosevelt spoke about the disappearance of democracy in nations where desperate people sacrificed liberty in the hope of obtaining security. The president felt that Americans should not have to make that drastic choice. Many of his plan's benefits can be seen today, over seventy years later.
