Do you think Franklin Roosevelt should have been more honest with the American people that he was confined to a wheelchair?

No, I do not think Franklin Roosevelt should have been more honest with the American people that he was confined to a wheelchair. While it is understandable that he wanted to protect himself and shield the public from the strain of his disability, I think that in a time of crisis and with America needing its leaders to show strength and fortitude it made more sense for him to be open and honest about his condition. Additionally, by keeping this a private matter he risked people believing rumors or speculation that might have been even worse than the truth, and in the end it created additional strain and burden on him and his family to keep it a secret. It may have been beneficial to be more upfront and honest with the public from the beginning.
