How Did The New Deal Stabilize The Economy

In response to the Great Depression, many of the programs introduced by FDR were effective because they helped fix the economy by using federal intervention and redirecting the economy’s cash flow to help decrease the amount of unemployment.

The Great Depression was a strenuous and devastating time for the United States; with millions of Americans losing their jobs, homes, and money. The banking industry and stock market are to blame for their irresponsible practices. Fortunately, when President Roosevelt was inaugurated into presidency, he had one mission: to end the Great Depression. He created a series of programs called the New Deal. Although the New Deal was somewhat successful, numerous Americans responded negatively to the New Deal. They saw it as unlawful and waste of national fund. Subsequently, these adverse reviews proved effective in the removable of certain agencies from the New Deal.

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, a Success! During the Great Depression of the 1930s, millions of Americans struggled to make ends meet. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, commonly known as FDR, introduced the New Deal in order to provide relief, recovery, and reform to the country. The New Deal was a series of programs, legislation, and reforms aimed at addressing the economic crisis and helping the American people.

Franklin D Roosevelt jumped into action to save the economy the 1930s. In Doc A, he said “we are giving opportunity of employment to one-quarter of a million of the unemployed, especially the young men…” (Doc A). This shows that the New Deal created jobs so people could get paid and ended the Depression. In Doc E, it shows that in 1937, the unemployment rate had increased down to 9.1% compared to the 22.5% it was before FDR took office (Doc E). This shows that the New Deal succeeded in providing work. Besides providing jobs, the New Deal gave Americans faith in their government.

One would say that the Great Depression is one of the darkest times in American history. The Great Depression did not only affect the United States, but also other countries who were heavily invested in the United States, such as Germany and Great Britain. Following the crash of the stock market in 1929, the level of unemployment skyrocketed and economies around the world plunged. The United States faced those dark years until about the later part of the early 1930s, when things start to head in an upward trend. Some of this success could be contributed to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s implementation of the New Deal in an attempt to restore confidence in the economy, and the political system. Ultimately, it would still take years until the world economy and especially the United States economy was anywhere near its pre stock market crash levels. The success of the New Deal was short lived when the economy started to take a turn downward in the late 1930s, because FDR could not get enough demand to successfully implement his New Deal. In 1939 there was another positive trend with the beginning of World War II. Although the New Deal helped to restore confidence in the economy and the political system, nevertheless it was the spending of World War II that ended the Great Depression, because it lowered the level of unemployment, increased productivity, and helped to boost the United States economy upward, although capitalism still survived.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt tried the solve the problems if fear, chaos, hysteria, and decline of the American economy that came with the Great Depression. Roosevelt used relief, reform, and recovery to help the people. His plan was the “New Deal” which is seen as controversial. Although Roosevelt worked hard to improve the lives of American, there were still negative interactions between the different races and classes of the time.

The New Deal was both a success and a failure. It was a success in the way that the programs brought hope to Americans as well as relief in these difficult times, but it was a failure in the fact these programs didn't fully bring relief to America and how these programs discriminated against groups such as African Americans. Roosevelt's New Deal plans provided much relief through hope given by programs like the AAA, FHA and many others. "Just knowin' that for once there was a man to stand up and speak for him, a man that could make what he felt so plain nobody could doubt he meant it, has made us feel a lot better even when there wasn't much to eat in our homes." An excerpt from document C which shows the ways these plans and ideas from Roosevelt gave the average man hope for the coming future, even when they were at a very low point for the country.

The New Deal was not a success for many reasons. Blacks were treated differently and were less of a priority in the New Deal. It also wasn’t a success because a lot of people remained depressed and down, and some were still not getting what they needed to live (like food). What the New Deal was supposed to do was aid people with food and necessities like that and to help people through the depression literally and figuratively. But, what happened was not according to plan.

The Success of the New Deal in Solving the Problems Caused by the Great Depression

President Roosevelt's New Deal program during the 1930's failed to aid impoverished African-American citizens. The New Deal followed a long, historical chronology of American failures in attempts to ensure economic prosperity and racial equality. During the nearly seventy years after the conclusion of the Civil War, the United States faced a series of economic depressions, unmotivated Congress,' and a series of mediocre presidents. With the exception of Teddy Roosevelt, few presidents were able to enact anti-depression mechanisms and minimize unemployment. The America of the 1920's was a country at its lowest economic and social stature facing a terrible depression and increasing

During The Great Depression, the New Deal Instituted many programs where some had many accomplishments some many failures and some had both accomplishments and failures. The programs that had the greatest impact of the Great Depression were the creation of the securities and exchange commission, The works Progress Administration, the Fireside Chats, and the Wagner Act. The programs that had some accomplishments and failures were the civilian conservation corps, the Tennessee Valley Authority and the institution of the Social Security. Lastly, the program that had nothing but failures was the Court Packing Plan.

The United States encountered many ordeals during the Great Depression (1929-1939). Poverty, unemployment and despair clouded the “American Dream” and intensified the urgency for solutions to address and control the nationwide damage. President Franklin Roosevelt proposed the New Deal to detoxify the nation of its suffering. It can be argued that the New Deal was ineffective due to the inability to end the Great Depression with its short-term solutions and created more problems, however; it was successful in regards to providing direct relief for the needy, economic recovery and some structural reform for the majority of the general public in the severity of the Great Depression.

As soon as Franklin Roosevelt came to power, he was quick to react to the countries needs. The text states, “Swift legislation regulated the stock market and the banking system, improved the agricultural economy, and introduced a social security program” (“Great Depression”). Franklin Roosevelt was swift in recognizing the problems facing the country and attempted to solve the issues. His legislation focused on securing the economy and beginning to built back up the trust between the government and the American people. It was successful, to an extent. People did begin to trust the government again but economic decline would not stop immediately. There were signs of progress; From 1933 to 1938 the economy experienced growth. Unemployment fell and national income increased (Jeffries). This statistic shows that New Deal reforms had some positive impact on the economy. They also succeeded in restoring confidence to the average person which was extremely important at the time. This statistic does not, however, reflect that this growth was very small relative to the growth experienced during World War II. New Deal policies failed to ever achieve enough economic growth to push the nation out of the depression. Another cornerstone of the New Deal was its campaign to make life more safe. The New Deal worked to make life less risky, and in a sense it did through acts

The New Deal provided countless of actions that helped Americans in the time being, but it did not end the Great Depression. Many Americans were still suffering with hunger, unemployment and a stable place to live or no place at all. It was believed by many politicians and economist that when the U.S entered World War Two, the New Deal could have been more of a success if Roosevelt put in more money in the
