Ranking U.S. Presidents

To say Harry S. Truman's presidency started off with a bang would be an understatement. As president following the death of FDR, Truman had to bring WWII to a close, convert a wartime economy to a peacetime one, handle the rising power of Communism and try to keep FDR's legacy alive. And that's not even all he dealt with!  How did he handle all these things...and where does he rank?

This week we are covering FDR's final years as President as he takes on Hitler and Hirohito and Mussolini in WW2! And we finally see where he ranks.

In this episode, we are covering the first two thirds of FDR's administration as he tackles both the Great Depression and rising tensions in Europe and the Pacific. We will examine not only his avalanche of new policies as part of the New Deal but also his struggle with the Supreme Court and how he attempts to balance neutrality with support for the Allies as World War II begins.

We are finally tackling one of the most influential presidents of the 20th century: FDR. For this four term president, we are going to take our time. For the first episode, we will be looking at his early life and political career. What made this man tick? And how did he rise to become America's leader during both the Great Depression and WW2?

He's the president who was at the helm for the first four years of the most devastating economic disaster in modern times: the Great Depression. Was he up to the task? And what other policies did he pursue when he wasn't handling the Depression? Find out here! 

This week we are discussing Silent Cal, America's 30th President. He's the sixth VP to take over after the President dies in office. But is he up to the task for tackling the roaring 20s? And what role does he play in the Great Depression that will hit during Hoover? Find out in this week's episode!

It's time to review the president who gambled the White House china and had more affairs than perhaps any other president. It's Warren G Harding time. His cabinet was infamously corrupt, but was he just as crooked? We shall see on this episode of Ranking Presidents. 

It's Woodrow Wilson time..again. This time we are looking at how this president handles the sinking of the Lusitania, the U.S. entry into World War 1, women's suffrage and so much more. And finally we will get to see where this controversial president ranks!

It's time for one of America's most controversial presidents of the modern era: the President of Princeton himself: Woodrow Wilson. We are looking at his life, personality, beliefs on religion and race and his presidency up till the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915. 

It's Taft time baby. We are talking about America's favorite president to get stuck a tub. But Taft was more than just a big man, he was also the inheritor of Roosevelt's legacy and busted more trusts than even Teddy. But can he live up to the legacy of Theodore? We shall see.
