New Deal Dbq

New Deals The New Deal was a success. The documents Fireside Chat, Interview with Cotton Mill Worker, and New Deal Program support how it was successful. Document C: George Dobbin in Interview with Cotton Mill Worker, 1939 states, “Roosevelt is the biggest-hearted man… and made a lot of u feel a lot better…”. Roosevelt was the president who set up the New Deals; if the New Deals were a failure the people would have not said that he said a big heart and that they were happy.

The New deal is very controversial and has been debated since the beginning. Did it lessen the effects of the Great Depression or worsen them? While arguments are still heated even today, the new deal was a success in so many ways. Through the new deal the federal government was reinvented, programs were enacted to achieve multiple goals, and Americans still benefit from the new deal today. Without the new deal the United States may very well be a different place.

The New deal was created to help the nation while the Great Depression was happening. It was the first comprehensive unemployment relief program that helped to pioneer efforts to expand public utilities and relief suffering Americans. The New Deal was intended to enhance workplace safety and reduce the use of child labor in factories. FDR started it by stabilizing banks by asking the public to place their trust and their savings in banks to relieve the economy. President Roosevelt had three main ideologies about the economy during the Depression.

In 1930 American was in what is now known as the Great Depression. Many families nationwide were starving and unemployed. Many were angry and demanded for the government to take action and put in end to this time period of misery. At the time, president herbert hoover believed this was a temporary problem and that the u.s economy would regulate itself. At the time he was not wrong there are years where a country economic were good and other years that were bad. However this issued the government face was unlike anything they have ever experienced. During this crisis is when a government should be involved in aid their people.

Many people would say that in throughout time everything happened for the growth of the country. During the beginning of America’s history there were two specific time periods that helped one another to succeed. The New Deal (1933-1938) and The Great Society (1964-1968) both had many issues that helped society growth and one being more effective than the other. The New Deal was a pledge made by president Franklin D. Roosevelt when he won the Democratic Party’s nomination.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt introduced the New Deal in 1933 to address the challenges of the Great Depression. His plan aimed to create jobs and ease economic struggles, as mentioned in “Fireside Chat” on May 7, 1933. Although some programs provided temporary help, they didn’t fix the main problems causing the Great Depression. This led to ongoing criticism and doubts about whether the New Deal worked. Document E, presenting unemployment data from 1929 to 1941, provides insight into the dangers and endurance of the economic crisis during the Great Depression.

There's been some talk in History class, some people think that the New Deal was a failure. This statements are clearly false. Roosevelt ran for president and won by a landslide, and he began his energetic presidency by targeting the bank crisis. According to Document C, George Dobbin a 67-year-old man said that Roosevelt just got up and said: “I’m interested in, and aim to do something for the working man.” Dobbin said this made most Americans feel better even when there was no food on their plates.

The New Deal increased federal influence in the economy due to some different factors. In 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt had a goal to help restore the economy and social justice, therefore, leading to the First New Deal. The First New Deal helped to improve the hardships, but it did not help restore prosperity; it helped the economy but still left millions of people behind in the darkness of poverty. The Supreme Court acted because they felt as though many of the First New Deal programs were “unconstitutional violations of private property and states’ rights” (Shi and Tindall, p. 946). Senator Long of Louisiana and Dr. Townsend of California introduced a dramatic plan to reshape the dispersal of money from the wealthy to the poor.

Despite the fact, some people argue the New Deal was not successful because it was very discriminatory at some points. The New Deal was successful because in general, society had regained comfort with the government and the security of their lives through job opportunities, the health of people, and an improved

Commager think there is no such thing as the “Roosevelt revolution” as someone may have called it during the era of 1933’s. He described Roosevelt as “though clearly a leader…was an instrument of the people’s will rather than a creator of, or a dictator to…” From here you can see that he does not believe Roosevelt was the only one led/helped Americans to gets recover from Great Depression, rather, he believed he also was used by the people to do their wills. He disapproved the idea of calling Roosevelt a dictator, he thinks he’s just a strong executive, who was willing to helped America with energy and boldness. As he said in the paragraph, “The roots of the New Deal go deep down into our past,” he thinks the New Deal is not something new people

One of the most disastrous situations the United States has had to confront has been the Great Depression. The Great Depression was immensely impactful to citizens in the US because unlike other events such as tensions with other countries or wars, it affected whole families such as women and children. Families struggled to make ends meet and lived in shabby conditions since they had to prioritize what they would spend their money on. During this era, the president elected was Franklin D. Roosevelt, the term “first 100 days,” was coined after him for the incredible amount of legislation passed during his first 3 months in office that revolutionized government from that point on. During this era, american’s had their faith restored in the economy as a result of Roosevelt’s New Deal program. Since that point, the amount of achievements and setbacks a president has are carefully analyzed in order to ultimately have a conception of the skills the president possesses in order to procure the policies they campaigned on. Currently, the first three months of presidency are still analyzed and continue to be perceived as important this has to do with the fact that people believe that the president is at the height of their power and influence during their first part of the presidency. Many people believe this since the president is at their

Unemployed people also benefited from the national set of minimum wage, maximum hours and labor unions because they would all be paid equally and keep their jobs. They all got temporary insurance granted to them and public works like buildings, parks, schools, bridges and hospitals for their community. This all shows that unemployed people are the winners of the New Deal because they benefit the most. However, there are other groups, for example, like the Wealthy Landowners, who benefited from the New Deal as well. Wealthy Landowners benefited from the New Deal as well because they were paid to not plant on a part of their land, bringing them profit and making the financial economy more

Second, the New Deal of the Great Depression was a good deal because it decreased unemployment

While many of the sources I came upon appeared accurate and reliable, I discovered that some were not. Historians researching this topic may struggle to distinguish the information between fact and opinion due to the sensitivity and racial implications of this investigation. For example, a source being composed by an African American who had a relative negatively affected by the New Deal, will be more likely to investigate the reasons the New Deal was discriminative rather than why the New Deal was fair to all Americans. Historians must be able to recognize this limitation and interpret it for what it is
