On the southeastern slope of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, USA, there are statues carved with the heads of four outstanding ** people, so the mountain is named "** Mountain". The four remarkable men were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. They are highly respected leaders in the history of the United States and have made tremendous contributions to the country. The statue on this ** hill has witnessed more than 200 years of American history. However, despite being re-elected four times, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who served the longest time, was not carved into the mountain and was not part of this group of heroes.
In 1932, Roosevelt ran for the first time, and officially took office in 1933. From 1933 to 1945, Roosevelt served as the U.S. leader for 12 years, a rarity in American history. However, why was he not carved and failed to join the ranks of the ** mountain? The answer involves a delicate question of timing. The mountain's statue project began in 1927, when Roosevelt had not yet ascended the throne and was therefore not taken into account. The statue was erected in 1941, while Roosevelt was still in his position. This timing coincidences meant that even if Roosevelt had achieved remarkable things during his tenure, he would not have been able to become one of the statues on the mountain. If he personally made such a request, he would certainly be opposed by the whole American people. Because it is contrary to the American democratic tradition to seek fame and fame during his tenure as **, such a move may not be widely recognized. Roosevelt, naturally, was not going to act on this.
Although Roosevelt failed to join the ranks of the mountain, his contribution to the United States was obvious. In World War II, he made an indelible contribution to the United States. Therefore, even if he does not leave his name forever on the mountain, the American people will not forget his outstanding performance in the war.
