Can someone compare Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, and Woodrow Wilson?

all were progressives: meaning, desired to change role of Government: to be an end all and for all, nationally and internationally, in which the governing body (us gov or league of nations) would gradually replace the need for God. check rousseau's thesis. "appealing to a future of a society they will create, however means that may take place" (written by an apologist for cornerstone principles.......)

I would have to go with FDR.  Apparently many people of his time agreed with me, because he is the only President to have been elected four times. He served just over 12 years.  He brought the country out of depression, creating many jobs, such as the TVA and the CCC (Tennessee Valley Authority and Civilian Conservation Corps.) He was a rich man who was truly for the poor people. I think he is just about the greatest President we have ever had, with the possible exception of the first George.\n\nOutside of Presidents, I would have to say Martin Luther King.  He was such a great man.  He worked so hard to establish civil rights and to work out good relations between the races.  I think the worst thing that ever happened to race relations in this country was his assassination.

Do your own homework.  Plus the 30s is a long time and he got elected president twice during that time.  Every president's popularity rises and drops over time.  \n\nBut of course there was Roosevelt's unfortunate position on eugenic sterilization.

Woodrow Wilson was widowed in his first term, but married his second wife, Edith, while still in the Presidency.\n\nThe only U.S. President who never married was James Buchanan.

Was a policy enacted by Woodrow Wilson in the World War 1 era.  It focused on national integrity, making moral decisions, and preserving peace instead of basing actions on material interests.  Was backed by William Jennings Bryant... and dealt mostly with negotiating peaceful treaties to waring nations.  \n\nInteresting enough, the policy does not work.  Wilson ended up interfering with more countries than Will Taft and Roosevelt, which is what he was coming out against.

He was elected President in November 1932,\n\nFranklin D. Roosevelt \n\nAssuming the Presidency at the depth of the Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt helped the American people regain faith in themselves. He brought hope as he promised prompt, vigorous action, and asserted in his Inaugural Address, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." \n\nBorn in 1882 at Hyde Park, New York--now a national historic site--he attended Harvard University and Columbia Law School. On St. Patrick's Day, 1905, he married Eleanor Roosevelt. \n\nFollowing the example of his fifth cousin, President Theodore Roosevelt, whom he greatly admired, Franklin D. Roosevelt entered public service through politics, but as a Democrat. He won election to the New York Senate in 1910. President Wilson appointed him Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and he was the Democratic nominee for Vice President in 1920. \n\n   \n \n \n\nPresident Bush Biography\nVice President Cheney Biography\nLaura Bush Biography\nLynne Cheney Biography  \n \n  \n \n \n \nIn the summer of 1921, when he was 39, disaster hit-he was stricken with poliomyelitis. Demonstrating indomitable courage, he fought to regain the use of his legs, particularly through swimming. At the 1924 Democratic Convention he dramatically appeared on crutches to nominate Alfred E. Smith as "the Happy Warrior." In 1928 Roosevelt became Governor of New York. \n\nHe was elected President in November 1932, to the first of four terms. By March there were 13,000,000 unemployed, and almost every bank was closed. In his first "hundred days," he proposed, and Congress enacted, a sweeping program to bring recovery to business and agriculture, relief to the unemployed and to those in danger of losing farms and homes, and reform, especially through the establishment of the Tennessee Valley Authority. \n\nBy 1935 the Nation had achieved some measure of recovery, but businessmen and bankers were turning more and more against Roosevelt's New Deal program. They feared his experiments, were appalled because he had taken the Nation off the gold standard and allowed deficits in the budget, and disliked the concessions to labor. Roosevelt responded with a new program of reform: Social Security, heavier taxes on the wealthy, new controls over banks and public utilities, and an enormous work relief program for the unemployed. \n\nIn 1936 he was re-elected by a top-heavy margin. Feeling he was armed with a popular mandate, he sought legislation to enlarge the Supreme Court, which had been invalidating key New Deal measures. Roosevelt lost the Supreme Court battle, but a revolution in constitutional law took place. Thereafter the Government could legally regulate the economy. \n\nRoosevelt had pledged the United States to the "good neighbor" policy, transforming the Monroe Doctrine from a unilateral American manifesto into arrangements for mutual action against aggressors. He also sought through neutrality legislation to keep the United States out of the war in Europe, yet at the same time to strengthen nations threatened or attacked. When France fell and England came under siege in 1940, he began to send Great Britain all possible aid short of actual military involvement. \n\nWhen the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Roosevelt directed organization of the Nation's manpower and resources for global war. \n\nFeeling that the future peace of the world would depend upon relations between the United States and Russia, he devoted much thought to the planning of a United Nations, in which, he hoped, international difficulties could be settled. \n\nAs the war drew to a close, Roosevelt's health deteriorated, and on April 12, 1945, while at Warm Springs, Georgia, he died of a cerebral hemorrhage.

The New Deal, drawing heavily on the experiences of its leaders, reflected the ideas, and was influenced by the programs, that FDR and most of his original associates had absorbed in their political youths early in the progressive era; had absorbed while serving in the Woodrow Wilson administration; and had absorbed holding other offices in the 1920s.\n\nIn the United States of America, the Progressive Era was a period of reform which lasted from the 1890s through the 1920s, although some experts use the narrower time frame of 1900 to 1917. The reformers advocated the Efficiency Movement. Progressives assumed that anything old was encrusted with inefficient and useless practices. A scientific study of the problem would enable experts to discover the "one best solution." Progressives strongly opposed waste and corruption, and tended to assume that opponents were motivated by ignorance or corruption.

Actually, William Taft is usually considered the 27th president of the United States. This is because Grover Cleveland served two nonconsecutive terms, and is considered to be both the 22nd and the 24th presidents of the United States.\n\nOtherwise, yes it would be Wilson, but historically we usually refer to Taft as our 27th president and Wilson as the 28th.
