I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

Answer:

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.
