The Lasting Effects of The New Deal on American History
“A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success” (Elbert Hubbard). The New Deal that was proposed by Franklin D. Roosevelt was the persistence and effort that provided hope for americans that the hopeless failures of Herbert Hoover could possibly end. Franklin D.

Since people were concerned about their money and were furious that they weren’t able to access the money they worked hard to earn, many people stored money in their houses and other places that they felt were more
