Question

what qualities did roosevelt have that made people believe in his ability to rule the nation and bring them out of the Great Depression?

Answer 1

Teddy Roosevelt was an independent, determined man. He was very confident. His maxim, "walk softly and carry a big stick" had the idea that: by being cautious and non-aggressive, but willing to attack if the need arises, we would be able to stay away from war. He was a natural leader, he led NYPD, he was the governor of New York, and vice president. He was futuristic. He had high moral standards.
