what setbacks did Roosevelt face during his second term as president?

Answers

During Roosevelt's second term as president, he faced various setbacks in the form of social and foreign policy issues both domestically and internationally. Domestically, he had to contend with the opposition of southern Democrats to his civil rights agenda, who were largely against New Deal economic policies, as well as the frustration of many labor unions over the lack of progress on strengthening labor rights. Foreign policy-wise, Roosevelt had to deal with the failure of the Inter-American Conference, as well as with US isolationism as more Americans became concerned about the war raging in Europe. Additionally, he had to deal with the domestic and foreign repercussions of the US's position of neutrality in the face of the war. Ultimately, these competing interests and tension with allies and adversaries, led to the policy of neutrality declared in the Neutrality Act of 1937.
