In Ybor City, Florida, there is a .14 acre park which belongs to Cuba.The park is dedicated to who some might consider father of Cuban Independence. Jose Marti. In the 1800s, Marti took a dysfunctional, fractured revolution and weaved it into a strong, revolutionary party.

When we last left Franklin, he had a disappointing second term as President. Power grabs and not working together with others made his third term outlook bleak. In addition, his will to run again was weak. However, there was a dark storm approaching. With World War 2 starting to break out, Franklin realized his people needed a strong leader to guide them through the treacherous waters. Not only would the Americans need him, but nations all across the world needed a strong leader to fight against tyranny. 

After enrolling the nation in their own underdog story, it was time for action. Franklin led the country with efficiency and confidence during his first 100 days. During those days, he would remold the country to improve the lives of his fellow Americans. However, his second term was not as glorious as his first. Due to his court packing scheme, the Roosevelt Recession, and an attempt to purge democrats his days in the White House looked to be coming to a close.

The Great Depression infected the United States. It crippled the country. Just like he did at Warm Springs, Ole Doctor Roosevelt would start giving the country much needed medicine to survive.

William Malone was one New Zealand's finest leaders during the Gallipoli campaign. Sometimes it seemed like he was the only one with his head on his shoulders. He led his men through some of the toughest fighting of World War 1. Malone was a great leader because he prepared, cared, and set a great example for his men.

Franklin's star was shining bright. It seemed like nothing could stop him on his path to the president. Until a summer in Campobello, polio ravaged his body and left him paralyzed. Franklin could either fall into historical obscurity or fight back into the political ring.
