    Many differ over whether Roosevelt’s programs were economically prosperous. However, there is an agreement that they were generally effective in terms of enhancing the morale of the American people. Many historians say that FDR’s New Deal programs brought America’s economy back from the remoteness of the Depression. I think that the New Deal provided further jobs to more people as well as supplying relief funds to people who could not find work. By doing these things, the New Deal expanded the quantity of money that Americans had to spend. When Americans had more money to spend, there was more demand for services and goods, therefore, more people had to be hired to meet that demand. However, there are some who say that the New Deal really didn’t as much as it…

    I believe the new deal was a success but, it wasn’t perfect. The new deal help provide jobs, help provide food, help provide support. When the great depression hit people got sad and thought there was no why this would end there money was gone everything they once knew was no more, instead of evolving and waiting the depression out they decided they would like to live in heaven where there is no suffering no pain. The people who did stick around got to see how FDR changed america ( which in his eyes was just made up of white males ) for the better. He created jobs for the white male working class. Out of the 10 million jobless men in the United States in 1935, 3 million were helped by W.P.A jobs alone.Those jobs consisted of built highways,…

    The success of the New Deal is very controversial. While some people says that it was a great plan it can be argued that it was actually a huge flop. The great depression started when the Stock Market crashed in 1929 and company's stocks almost completely lost their value.This lead to company having to fire people. “ Over the next several years, consumer spending and investment dropped, causing steep declines in industrial output and rising levels of unemployment as failing companies laid off workers.”( History.com Staff). By 1932 22.5% of the labor force were unemployed, that's more than twelve million people (Jimmy Carter). In 1933 president Roosevelt was elected and he presented America with the New Deal. These were intended to help Americans…

    The New Deal was a welcomed change from the politics as usual in Washington DC. This fact is proven by the landslide victory achieved by Franklin Delano Roosevelt over Herbert Hoover in the election of 1932. In the New Deal, President Roosevelt pledged a new system of doing things, which would not only bring an end to the Depression but also prevent the events that brought it. This new deal was necessitated by the effects of the Great Depression, which was caused by a perfect storm of events beginning with the Stock Market crash of 1929. While some of the New Deal Programs were very effective by and large the success of the New Deal is certainly debatable. At the time…

There was people that was committing suicide because they couldn't take the failure that had come to them and their families.

While the bulk of the works referenced and used in this book, Conn also utilizes painting and pictures to further broadened his analysis. All of the books, paintings, and plays contained in this book contributed to a popular theme of the time which was drawing from the past to respond to the present time that they were enduring.
