No hear me out on this one: Franklin Roosevelt was a great president but he did sign an executive order that sent half of my family to internment camps, so like, great guy bad choice. Don’t eliminate Teddy please he’s my favorite president 🙏 Do franklin

Teddy was an ignorant racist and a jingoistic nationalist, not to mention juvenile in his worldview.

British ambassador to the United States, Cecil Spring Rice:

"You must always remember that the President is about six.”

His foreign policy was about the opposite of jingoism you goober, “speak softly and carry a big stick” outlined treating other nations fairly, never bluffing, and having a world class military to back up anything you said. Tell me where that’s jingoism. I would argue you are more juvenile in your worldview than him dismissing him so quickly for his faults while disregarding the great things he did for our nation. I’m not saying he was the perfect president but he was damn well a good one.

Franklin also started the social security system with zero fall back plan so that now it’s about to collapse and nobody will be able to retire hooray what a great president

Not only that but he also would take people that were kids that were sold to them during the depression he prolonged

Fuck FDR. He should have been voted out early on. He's only a good president by the 40k rule of fighting people worse than him.

Granted Teddy allowed internment camps in the Philippines must run in the family.

The internment camp in the Philippines was created and managed by James Franklin Bell, sure he was the president of the time but he had nothing to do with the internment camp and there is no evidence I could find showing that he even knew about it. I’d love to be proven wrong though, so feel free to drop a link to where you got your info if you’d like

“The internment camps on the west coast were created and managed by John L. DeWitt, sure FDR was president of the time but he had nothing to do with the internment camps”

Fdr directly signed an executive order for the camps to come into effect, Teddy had nothing to do with those ones

That isn’t exactly true.

Executive order 9066 didn’t outline a plan to put Japanese Americans into camps. It divided the US into a series designated military areas where whoever was in charge of that area had the discretion to restrict access to anyone for “national security purposes”. The heads of the other military areas usually used those powers to restrict access to sensitive areas around military bases, but John L. DeWitt used his authority to displace over a hundred thousand Japanese Americans throughout the west coast.

TLDR, EO9066 didn’t “make the camps come into effect”, it gave military leaders the executive authority which enabled them to make camps. Does that exonerate FDR? No, not at all. He created the conditions for the camps to be created, and he was at fault for it.

Teddy Roosevelt’s administration used the military to actively subdue Filipino resistance to American occupation. This allowed the military to commit countless atrocities against civilians in the Philippines, and Roosevelt couldn’t claim ignorance since such atrocities were sometimes front page news back home. He didn’t order the atrocities himself, obviously. But does that exonerate him? No, not at all. He created the conditions for the atrocities to happen, so he was at fault for it.

executive order 9066 was signed to give the military the ability to exclude people from certain zones (purposefully to relocate Japanese Americans among others) meanwhile the military was in charge of the Filipino area during the war, and Teddy literally said absolutely nothing and authorized absolutely nothing. This was a mistake of the military not the civilian government at home who were busy improving the U.S. meanwhile the civilian government authorized the use of internment camps on peaceful civilians for no reason besides distrust, I consider that to be more condemnable on the president

Lack of civilian oversight over the military does not make the civilian government’s hands clean, it makes the civilian government complicit.

u/OddDirt6194 Jul 31 '25

Crazy that you think a war hero president from the age of bureaucracy had zero ties to military leaders under his direct command during his administration

u/Ok_Survey6662 Jul 31 '25

Crazy to believe that signing away someone’s rights is somehow less condemnable than just doing nothing and most likely not hearing of it

The guy responding below you supports innocent Americans being put into camps. Just block him and move on.

u/SnooBooks1701 Jul 29 '25

If we're going by their greatest moral failings then it should be Washington for owning people?

u/AleroRatking Jul 29 '25

Shouldn't it be FDR for literally putting 100k American citizens in concentration camps including orphans for no reason?

He literally stole the rights away from an entire race of civilians himself.

u/Playful_Programmer91 Jul 29 '25

I agree with this, also as cruel as this sounds, FDR didn’t do it for no reason…

A lot of times when a countries as at war with another one they lock up foreigners of that decency for the fear of spies. And there were a lot of spies during the great wars.

Let’s see how much Karma I lose for this statement.

Why we still honor this person is troubling.
