(personally I think its rediculas to be doing posters in the 8th grade) I would really like to know the name of this pony, if anybody could find it for me? I included the picture below. Thanks! http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/images/...
What is the name of President Franklin Roosevelt's plan to offer relief for Americans during the Great Depress
The NEW DEAL. It involved making lots of new jobs, like building dams, the CCC (Civilian Conservations Corps) and others. The CCC made trails in national parks, made sure there weren't any hunters in national parks, that sort of thing. Not sure what else went on, but it was called the NEW DEAL.
Why was U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt's dog named Fala?
Here's a quote from the FDR library about this nickname:"Fala was born on April 7, 1940 and given to the President by Mrs. Augustus G. Kellog of Westport, Connecticut through Franklin Roosevelt's cousin, Margaret "Daisy" Suckley. At first his name was Big Boy. Franklin renamed him 'Murray the Outlaw of Falahill' after a Scottish ancestor. His nickname became Fala."As Carolyn Russ said - in many less words - it's a shortening of a place name from FDR's history.
How were Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt related?
Franklin and Theodore were fifth cousins, once removed. But Eleanor Roosevelt was Theodore’s niece. Her father Elliott, was Theodore’s alcoholic younger brother. After his ignominious death, Eleanor relied on her Uncle Theodore to stand in for her father when she and Franklin were married at the White House by giving her away to the groom. Franklin was highly motivated to meet and even exceed his distant cousin Ted’s exact same appointment as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and then his election as Governor of New York, and finally as President of the United States. Some might even say that Franklin was driven to equal and even best his very distant relative with the same last name.Franklin was the scion of the Hyde Park Roosevelts, along with his older half brother, “Rosey”. Theodore was, along with his niece, Eleanor, out of the Oyster Bay Roosevelts. Until their marriage, the two family branches of the extended family of Dutch poltroons were really not that close since one group was Republican and the other was Democratic. And one family was centered out on Long Island, and the other was from the Hudson River Valley, North of New York City. But with the birth of the children of Eleanor and Franklin, they became united once again. Today, none of their children are living. There are grandchildren and great grand children still alive, however. Only one of the children of Franklin and Eleanor entered politics with only limited success, Franklin Roosevelt Jr. who served in the House of Representatives, but not in the Senate. None of Theodore’s children entered politics, unless you consider Alice Roosevelt Longworth to be so as the wife of Congressman Nicholas Longworth. Of the five surviving children to adulthood of Franklin and Eleanor, there were a total of eighteen marriages, most of which ended in divorce.

Am I the only one who notices Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt have the same last name?
Not hardly, as they same in some locales. But you may be the only one who thinks it escaped everyone else’s notice and that you have supremely acute powers of observation. If that’s what you think, then you are a dope. I think you are a troll. Maybe a troll and a dope!For everyone’s benefit let’s look a bit more closely:John Adams, John Quincy Adams (his son)George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush (Does anybody remember them? And they’re related too, it turns out. Who knew?)William Henry Harrison, Benjamin Harrison, George Harrison. Am I the only one who knows a Beatle was president? William Henry was the grandfather of Benjamin. George was an associate of Richard Starkey.Zachary Taylor, John Tyler. Am I the only one who notices that one of these spelled his name wrong? I don’t know which one, so don’t ask.Only one name here is FAKE NEWS and I’m not saying which one.As for you, troll person, crawl back under your bridge and read a history book. There’s a lot of stuff out there that everybody but you knows about!
