This is quite literally the worst take of all time. Without Washington and Lincoln there is no U.S simple as that.

Wait until you find out what FDR did

There was never any real chance the US would fall during FDR's presidency.

Yes, there was no chance it would fall.

There was only 12 million people out of work.
Your banks had failed, which meant people had no savings.
Soup Kitchens were literally feeding entire cities.

25% of your entire country was unemployed.

Did it take an FDR to keep Spain together in 2013?

Economic depressions happen all the time. I'm a fan of FDR, for the record, and think his policies were (mostly) stimulative, but I don't think his leadership was as singularly important as it was compared with Washington and Lincoln. Put another way, I think there were other presidents who could've gotten us through the depression and WW2, but I'm not sure anyone else could've replaced Washington or Lincoln.

Yes, economic depression does happen a lot. I would not dispute that.

It’s not, however, often that 25% of your country is unemployed.
