New Deal Dbq

When Franklin Delano Roosevelt took office in 1933, the country was in the bowels of the Great Depression. Farmers had lost income because the end of World War I reduced the demand for the goods they had been overproducing. This was compounded by the poor policymaking of Herbert Hoover to create the terrible economic conditions present in the country that Roosevelt had to face. To attempt to restore America’s shattered glory, he created two sets of policies known as the First and Second New Deal. While this was a commendable effort and made some progress, it cannot be considered a true success, as it left out several vulnerable populations.

In Document 4, it shows a sick man, representing America, receiving programs from FDR that were supposed to improve his health but didn’t. This document shows how FDR was wasting money and time on the poor by providing programs that are not improving the health of America. During the New Deal, as shown in Document 3, the expenditures in 1934 and 1935 went rocket high. This shows that the government is using too much money and causing deficits, and as long as these programs continue, the government will continue to incur losses. Document 7 states that the National Recovery Administration authorized lower pay rates for blacks. The Federal Housing Authority also refused to guarantee mortgages to blacks trying to buy houses in white neighborhoods. This shows that multiple New Deal programs indirectly supported racism and closed its windows on needy minorities. These documents reveal how the New Deal was just adding more pressure to the government and if not improving, damaging the society with unjust and insufficient

Several things brought the Roosevelt administration down to earth, these were first parts of the New Deal was unconstitutional and second he wanted to appoint more democrat supreme court justices to get them to rule in his favor. Before he got this far because, he was able to appoint 5 new democrat justices to replace the retired ones. After this there was a market crash due to high taxations, minimum wage law and protection of the union workers law. Because of the New Deal business owners did not have a favorable environment. This caused the Roosevelt recession.

President FDR's New Deal prepared America for WWII after the Pearl Harbor attack. In the1930's the US government had a strong isolation movement. Isolationists thought the wars in Europe should stay in Europe, and President FDR knew that was not possible so he started the Lend Lease Deal. His Lend Lease Deal with Britain and the Soviet Union helped in giving America ideas on how much power they had. The Lend Lease Deal was that America would loan Britain their guns and ships to attack Germany during the war and when the war was finished they had to return it in an in kind matter.

Few historians would agree that the New Deal brought about a noticeable increase of jobs and security for the citizens of the United States in the Great Depression during the early 1930s. Between 1933 and 1938, the unemployment rate decreased to 15%, where as before the New Deal acts were introduced the rate was 25% (See Table 1 of the Appendix). The is 1 out of 4 citizens living in the country (Redmond 1). As a whole, Roosevelt's government was also responsible for passing laws to give mortgage relief to farmers and people who owned homes, this act was called the Housing act. New homeowners had access to government loan guarantees.

Lasting from 1929 to 1939, The Great Depression is the worst economic collapse in American history. Since Americans began spending less, the unemployment rate increased exponentially to over 15%. Due to the increase of unemployment, more Americans found themselves without any means to support their families, causing an abundance of poverty. Americans were left hopeless for a better future until Franklin Delano Roosevelt became president in 1933. He made a promise that he would do whatever it takes to heal Americans wounds.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal in the 1930’s and President Lyndon B. Johnson Great Society in the 1960’s had several policies, which led to some good outcomes and some not so much. New norms that guided and redefined administration organizations led to the development of schools and educators and to the courses offered for the students. The great society held instruction with less eagerness yet viewed as not that critical. Rather the great society concentrated on more positions globally and acquiring government relief. The New Deal was to fix the unemployment by creating jobs and improve the economy. The Great Society was supporting Civil Rights, lower the unemployment, create a welfare state, and desegregation in education.

Lyndon Baines Johnson introduced the Great Society, a strategic plan of action to propose environmental cleanup, decreasing poverty, and helping to further fund education during his state of the union address in 1965 in a poetic manner. He spoke of it as a destination that the American people would work toward. Johnson’s address gave many Americans hope and faith in a better world after feeling so much pain following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Americans were anxious to move forward as a nation in support of the changed Johnson proposed.

"The Great Society rests on abundance and liberty for all. It demands an end to poverty and racial injustice, to which we are totally committed in our time. " These words, spoken by Lyndon Baines Johnson in 1964, describe his administration's domestic policies collectively known as The Great Society. LBJ was convinced that he could utterly eradicate poverty in the United States and was dead set on doing so. He has been quoted saying that the last thing he ever wanted to be was a wartime president and that his Great Society was his focus.

The New Deal laid the groundwork for many of the gains made by women, but in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, those rights were not easy to obtain and did not come without a struggle. Women had to fight for what they wanted, in order to get it. The principal advocate for women’s economic and social rights throughout the New Deal was Eleanor Roosevelt. From the thousands of letters that poured across her desk from ordinary Americans, she knew that women were also suffering because of the Great Depression.

is to secure its citizens’ natural rights, LBJ argued that government must destroy all external constraints—legal, economic, educational, and environmental, which hamper the spiritual nature of the American people. The extensive regulations and programs of the Great Society are meant to guarantee not only the right to pursue happiness but also the full achievement of it through material, economic, cultural, and spiritual prosperity. While both parties have the nation’s best interest at heart, there seems to be a direct break from the founding within Johnson’s Great Society.

Success is going somewhere, making progress, and the New Deal was a success in the United States. In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave his speech, the Fireside Chat, about employment for Americans. Many people got jobs with the help of FDR. Though, in 1936, a song was written talking about the Great Depression and how many problems can not be fixed, and people are giving up. The Carter family wrote that song and it was called “No Depression in Heaven.”

          President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s program of relief, recovery, and reform that aimed at solving the economic problems created by the Depression of the 1930’s, was referred to as the New Deal. The Great Society was the name given to the domestic program of the U.S. president Lyndon B. Johnson. Both programs had similar yet opposing points.

His New Deal, while flawed, showed that the American people could trust the government when it actually helped those in need, not just the
