Modern advertising caused Americans to desire stuff that they didn’t necessarily need. Working conditions at this time were still poor but there were major improvements from the way it was at the beginning of the century.

It was ran very militaristically and was considered one the most popular New Deal programs. According to one employee through the CCC, Delbert Apetz, “Nobody seemed to complain down there because you had a place to sleep, a place to eat – which is pretty skimpy a lot of times at home.” FDR knew that it would be one of the most successful programs America’s recovery process.

The era of the Great Depression was by far the worst shape the United States had ever been in, both economically and physically. Franklin Roosevelt was elected in 1932 and began to bring relief with his New Deal. In his first 100 days as President, sixteen pieces of legislation were passed by Congress, the most to be passed in a short amount of time. Roosevelt was re-elected twice, and quickly gained the trust of the American people. Many of the New Deal policies helped the United States economy greatly, but some did not.

World War II began near the end of the worst financial crisis in American history, the Great Depression. In October 1929 the stock market crashed leading to a economic collapse that would become known as the Great Depression.

The New Deal’s changes in work and relief made the biggest impact out of all the New Deal programs.
