Changes

'''Franklin Delano Roosevelt''' was the 32nd [[President of the United States of America]] from , 1933-45, leading the U. He presided over S. from the majority darkest days of the [[Great Depression]], which did not end until the attack on [[Pearl Harbor]], to victory over Germany and led the United States in [[World War II]] against the [[Axis Powers]]Japan; he built the '''[[New Deal Coalition]]''' of voters and interest groups which dominated American politics into the 1960s, and is still fondly remembered by liberals. Indeed until the 1960s, modern liberalism was defined in terms of support for the New Deal, and modern conservatism meant opposition to it. His [[New Deal]] was a very large, complex interlocking set of programs designed to produce relief (which promised, but did not deliver, meant jobs for the unemployed), recovery (of the GDP), and reform (by which he meant regulation of Wall Street and the economy), as well as reelection (in 1936, 1940 and 1944) and realignment of the political system. Conservatives strongly opposed many, but not all, of the New Deal programs. Conservatives abolished most of the relief programs when unemployment practically ended during World War IIin the early 1940s. Most of the regulations on business were ended about 1975-85, except for the regulation of Wall Street by the [[Securities and Exchange Commission]], which still exists. The other major surviving program is [[Social Security]], which Congress Roosevelt passed in 1935.
