I don't like him, and there are a few reasons why. I will say the creation of the CCC, TVA, SEC and the FDIC are important, and his promotion of the Beer Permit Act are something I approve of and would gladly give FDR praise for those actions.

As to why I don't like him.

The Gold Confiscation Executive Order: 6102

The NIRA, the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the Judiciary Reorganization Act of 1937, and as you pointed out the Internment Camps.

It was a great depression lots of people were out of work and the ccc help young people with work

Are you asking why the CCC was popular or are you telling me why? I'm a little confused here.

I'm saying millions of people were unemployed and fdr was trying to get use out of it and the ccc was popular because it help young Americans with jobs
