Was The New Deal Good Or Bad
The New Deal is a good deal. Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed the New Deal to try to help the America people recover from the Great Depression. The goals of the New Deal were to get America out of the Great Depression by the 3 R’s. The 3 R’s are Relief, Recovery, and Reform. Relief for the hungry and jobless, Recovery for the agriculture and industry, and Reform to change the way the economy worked.
The New Deal was an exceptional deal. The New Deal started to create more jobs for people who are unemployed. The New Deal built small Civilian Conservation Corps that gave jobs to over 3 million young men. It lasted from 1933 to 1942. Most of the young men were unskilled workers. Their jobs were to plant trees and build state parks. …show more content…
The Public Works Administration responded to the Great Depression and lasted from 1933 to 1943. The Public Works Administration promoted many construction projects, building new dams, bridges, hospitals, and schools. These projects spread across the U.S.
The Federal Writers Project was established in 1935, and employed more than 6,000 writers, artists, historians, researchers, and social scientists that created projects for public use.
One project focused on interviewing formerly enslaved people and writing narratives. Charles Fusco, was one of the people interviewed.
Although the New Deal that FDR proposed was positive, some people thought the New Deal was bad. There were some good parts to the New Deal, but some parts just didn't work out. Some people thought the New Deal was giving the government too much power, which caused it to ask for more and more. The society thought that the government was given too much power that Roosevelt was going to “cancel” the Constitution. Many people thought the New Deal was a failure because of all its problems.
Although many programs of the New Deal failed, a few still remain today. One that we still have today is Social Security. Social Security Gives a pension from the working people to the retired workers, or any unemployed or unemployable to keep them on their feet. Another program that we still have today is the T.V.A (Tennessee Valley Authority). The T.V.A helped control flooding, promote or help advance conservation and development, and bring electricity to the rural areas of
Tennessee.
As you can see, through the 3-R’s FDR tried his hardest to help America recover from the Great Depression. Although some programs didn’t work out, many were successful and remained active in the U.S today.
