Durring his presidency, FDR had many national radio broadcasts in order to boost the moral of the country. These broadcasts were called fireside chats. I was able to find a transcript of one of his most famous fireside chats, where he introduced his New Deal plan. This plan gave America the economic boost it needed to get out of the great depression. I had never actualy seen how this plan was given to the American people though at the time of the depression, I had only learned about varrious parts of it before. FDR seemed very direct with his speech, or chat. He knew that America was not in a good place, so he was very direct with his tone. He knew that these changes needed to be made, so he was honest with the citizens of America.
