Hoover and Roosevelt had very different ideas on how the Depression should be handled. This was almost entirely a result of two integral differences in their schemas; Hoover was a Republican, and had basically worked his way through life, while Roosevelt was a Democrat, and had been born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth. As one can easily see, in many ways these two are complete opposites; in fact, if one looks at both their upbringing and their political affiliation, it seems that Roosevelt's and Hoover's policies had to have been different in a great many ways.…
Ever since his first election to public office in 1970, Reagan’s ability to draw listeners into his worldview has been prime research fodder for rhetoricians and political scientists. Every president, by virtue of his position, sets the news agenda, but few are able to affect the public’s vision much less re-cast the national ideology. Before Reagan, the last significant ideological realignment in American politics took place during the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Democratic president, elected in 1932, enacted a “New Deal” that upended longstanding political, economic and religiocultural presumptions. Between the 1870s and the 1920s, a dominant worldview biased toward business solutions, limited government and a Calvinist-inflected rectitude on social issues and morality had…

America is known as the land of the free, home of the brave and is deemed as one of the most prosperous countries with a booming economy and mass production of goods. But just as it took decades for America to build up this reputation, there were devastating periods of intense trial and error. During the Great Depression, 40% of Americans were living in poverty due to an unregulated economy. The New Deal soon followed after society had reached its apotheosis of poverty and served as a relief to jump-start the economy.

The New Deal was a success assignable to being responsible for some powerful and important accomplishments such as increasing employment rates and saving capitalism, however, it did have some downsides, as the Great Depression did not entirely end.

Subsequently after the roaring twenties, a period of economic boom, the United States entered an era of darkness. It was as if the US was a wet sponge, and someone wrung the water out of the sponge, leaving it dry, and defeated. This era of hardships and economic troubles was called the Great Depression. President Herbert Hoover, main president for the duration of the Great Depression did little to no use in calming this political epidemic.

While most people would agree that the New Deal had a definite impact on the United States throughout the early-1930’s, there are some critics that think that the New Deal prolonged the Great Depression. These critics believe that different initiatives could have returned the United States to prosperity much sooner, and that the Depression would’ve continued much longer if not for the start of World War II.…
