While FDR's leadership and guidance saved many American lives, he also destroyed many lives of American citizens, simply because of their ethnic origin.
However, without FDR's independence and firm guidance, which motivated America to support providing aid to England during the bombing of Britain, it is very likely that World War II would have turned against the European Allies. The congress was intent upon keeping America out of another world war, and the Lend-Lease program was the only way to prevent the balance of power from going against England. Jenkins demonstrates that it is highly unlikely that FDR 'knew' and permitted the Japanese to bomb Pearl Harbor, but he stresses that long before much of the nation and the congress were aware of Hitler's danger to America's interests, Roosevelt made a commitment to making America an international partner in the fight for freedom and justice abroad.
Thus, Roosevelt occasionally...
He undercut the legal system, although not to the degree he wished to, although he bolstered the value of democracy in a broader sense. He made such choices partly out of self-interest, but also because of the extremity of the historical circumstances he presided over, and the fact that his charisma gave him a popular mandate that made them willing to sacrifice, ration, and risk their lives for America's future.

65). By controlling these two aspects of a scientific experiment, researchers are able to establish the specific causality of the phenomenon being studied. In this regard, Kahle and Riley note that, "Traditionally, causality is established through strict control and randomization over all other factors while experimentally manipulating the variable or variables in question" (2004, p. 165). Finally, Gliner and Morgan (2000) report that the internal validity (discussed further below)
Nonetheless, the leadership abilities of Winston Churchill, as Lamb points out, "surely made the difference between defeat and victory during World War II and possibly helped to save Western civilization" (1993, 25). Personalities in Power: The Making of Great Leaders (Lafayette, LA: Huntington House Publishers, 1989) by Florence Littauer. Although somewhat biased, this work illustrates exactly what it takes to become a great leader. As Littauer tells us, "leadership is
United States make English its Official Language? The calls for English to be adopted as United States' official language have been prevalent since 1919 when President Theodore Roosevelt stated that the country has room for only one language i.e. The English language.
