FDR’s ancestors made huge amounts of money in the opium trade.

I didn't know about this. How did they make money in the opium trade? I thought it was mostly a British affair.

As I remember, they made money through shipping it out of China. The father and grandfather of Sarah Delano Roosevelt, FDR’s mother, made the money.
