2. The Roosevelt Family
Few families have left as profound an imprint as the Roosevelts. Theodore Roosevelt’s dynamic leadership ushered in the Progressive Era, championing conservation and bold reforms. Decades later, his distant cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, steered the nation through the Great Depression and World War II, reshaping the role of government and redefining American resilience. Their legacies endure in domestic policy, global diplomacy, and the very notion of presidential leadership.
