Question

12. "In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people 10 themselves which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

What is Roosevelt referring to during this time when referencing "Dark Hour"?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotation is from the first inaugural address delivered in 1933 I think. It was Roosevelt's first term in office.

1933 was in the middle of the worst depression (not a recession) America had suffered up until that time. The dark hour was that depression.
