New deal
The New Deal was the name that United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave to a complex package of economic programs he started between 1933 and 1935 with the goal of giving relief to the unemployed, reform of business and financial practices, and promoting recovery of the economy during The Great Depression. When Roosevelt took office in March 4 1933 all banks was close and people were in deep trouble because there were no checks to be cashed. The unemployment range in the nation raised by 25% and overall prices went down, the unemployment rate was still high in 1939 but then it went back to normal at 1941. The First New Deal of 1933 was aimed at all major groups, from banking and railroads to industry and farming. The New Deal innovated with work relief programs, agricultural programs, and the end of the gold standard. A Second New Deal 1935 - 1938 included labor union support, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) relief program, the Social Security Act, and programs to aid the agricultural sector, including tenant farmers and migrant workers. The Supreme Court ruled some programs; however, it has been replaced. In World War 2 most relief programs shut down. Many regulations were ended during in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Several New Deal programs remained active, with some still operating under the original names, including the Federal Deposit Insurance

History coursework: The new deal. (2) Explain why Roosevelt introduced the new deal. In my opinion Roosevelt introduced the new deal because he thought that this would be an ideal way for the depression to end. When Roosevelt was elected as American president, during that time the Americans suffered a huge Economic catastrophe, which resulted because of the Wall Street crash. When the American economy was in a catastrophe this lead to the American depression. The depression affected many issues, but one of the main issues the depression affected was that it had increased unemployment. It also leads to some banks going bankrupt. To tackle these issues Roosevelt introduced the New Deal. He introduced the new deal because he wanted to end the depression for all Americans. The new deal consisted of many different policies, for different issues. The policy Roosevelt introduced for banks going bankrupt was known as the Emergency Banking Act. He introduced this act because he wanted to make the banks more secure, which would therefore in the near future prevent banks from getting bankrupt again. If he had not introduced this act then banks would have gone bankrupt and therefore people would have lost their life savings and properties. Also everyone who was working in a bank would have lost his or her job. This is why I believe that Roosevelt's new deal was a success because if
Roosevelt And The New Deal
Roosevelt And The New Deal . USA in 1932 was in a state of depression and despair. After the Wall Street Crash in 1929, millions of jobs were lost and millions were left homeless and starving. Under the rule of President Hoover, the country's condition continued to decline and people had lost all hope of a prosperous future. Ghettos were created and were given the name 'Hoovervilles', to mock the President. Hoover believed in rugged-individualism, and he had a "laissez faire" attitude, which meant that the people had to help themselves to almost everything. There was no government organisation in place to help the poor and unemployed. Instead, Hoover thought that the problem would soon sort itself out without intervention. This however was not the case. People had lost faith in Hoover and needed something else to motivate and help them to find a new future. This came about in the 1932 election, when Franklin Roosevelt was running for President against Hoover. Roosevelt offered a new hope to the people. His policies were the opposite to those of Hoover, and people saw this an opportunity to get out of the depression. Roosevelt believed in helping the poor and unemployed, and giving them a chance. This made people see that the only way out was to vote for Roosevelt. People also were motivated and stimulated by Roosevelt's speeches. He said "This is more than a political

Roosevelt and the New Deal GCSE History Coursework Question 1 Explain the main features of the New Deal? In this answer I hope to show you that I understand what the New Deal was, and what were the various aspects to it. The new deal was a plan intended to bring relief to the American economy. Proposed by President Franklin Roosevelt to revive America to its superpower status that the world had become used to. America was hit hard by the Great Depression and Roosevelt knew he had to make the government opposite to what his predecessor, Hoover, wanted it to be. Roosevelt made sure the emphasis was on making the government more responsive to the general public's requirements. During the "boom years" there was a mass production of consumer goods, after that in 1927 there was an over production because simply there was a fall in demand, plus people were encouraged to buy shares and credit, after that companies and factories were not doing as well due to the fact that they had less demand which meant they had to make fewer goods which then meant then people were made unemployed. By 1928 the people that were 'in the know' started to sell their shares, and finally on October 1929 (Black Tuesday) panic set into people so they started to sell all their shares which caused the stock market collapse. Roosevelt's first objective was to pull America out of the depression. He tried to
Roosevelt's New Deal
Was Roosevelt's New Deal a Success? During his election campaign Roosevelt promised the American people a New Deal. Although it was unclear exactly what Roosevelt planned to do, it was apparent that he planned to use the full power of the US government to pull the country out of depression. Roosevelt set out the following statements of the New Deal: * Getting Americans back to work * Protecting their property and their savings * Reviving American industry and agriculture * Providing aid for the old, sick and unemployed In the first 100 days of his presidency in 1933, Roosevelt worked incredibly hard day in, day out, with his advisers, and began to put change into action. The main problem affecting America was its loss of confidence in the banks. Roosevelt addressed this crisis first. He ordered for all of Americas' banks to be closed. He then had government officials check them over thoroughly, and a few days later 5000 trustworthy banks were allowed to re-open. If necessary, they were even supported by government funding. To collaborate with this, Roosevelt's advisors came up with a set of rules and regulations to prevent the wild speculation which had been a cause of the Wall Street Crash. These two measures (the Emergency Banking Act and the Securities Exchange Commission) did help to boost people's confidence. Raymond Moley (one of Roosevelt's advisers) said "When
Roosevelt's New Deal.
Roosevelt's New Deal Danielle Atlas In 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt won the presidential election with 57% of the vote. His predecessor was Herbert Hoover, a Republican who believed in the policies of rugged individualism and laissez-faire. This election took place during the Great Depression. Although Hoover during his presidential period tried to introduce policies that would improve the standard of life of those struck by unemployment and poverty as a result of the Depression, the situation barely improved. After the 'lame duck' period from November 1932 to March 1933, President Roosevelt came into power. He intended to bring America out of Depression by restoring hope and faith into the people, and by direct aid - through relief (handouts to relieve poverty and stop people from losing homes or farms), through recovery (revive the economy and help unemployment rates) and through reform (introduce aid measures such as social security and pensions for people in the USA). Roosevelt achieved the latter through a series of agencies and policies to relieve the Depression, which collectively became known as the 'New Deal'. Some examples of these policies which related to relief were the Federal Emergency Relief Administration and the Civilian Conservation Corps. These policies involved direct government aid and initiative, and therefore were seen as a change to society from
Roosevelt's New Deal
Roosevelt's New Deal America's "Great Depression" began with the dramatic crash of the stock market on "Black Thursday", October 24, 1929 when 16 million shares of stock were quickly sold by panicking investors who had lost faith in the American economy. At the height of the Depression in 1933, 24.9% of the Nation's total work force, 12,830,000 people, were unemployed. Wage income for workers who were lucky enough to have kept their jobs fell 42.5% between 1929 and 1933. It was the worst economic disaster in American history. Farm prices fell so drastically that many farmers lost their homes and land. Many went hungry. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt took office in March 1933. He had promised the American people a New Deal and immediately set to work to create jobs for the unemployed. The main aims of the First New Deal were: * Getting americans back to work * Protecting their savings and properties * Providing relief for the sick old and unemployed * Getting American industry and agriculture back on their feet Despite his achievements, by May 1935 Roosevelt was facing a barrage of criticism. Some complained that he was doing too little and some other though he was doing too much ( mainly the wealthy business sector). This is why on 14 June he summoned the leaders of the Congress and presented them with a huge range of laws that he wanted passed. This, became known

AMEIRCAN HISTORY COURSEWORK. ) At the time when Roosevelt was running for president, had gained a lot of supporters because of in speeches he was very charismatic and energetic and had persuaded the American people that he would help America from the situation they were in.

Prohibition Sources Question.
) Source A is useful because it is telling us about the long term spread and demands for prohibition. It tells us that some northern states had introduced prohibition before 1845, it also tells us that some Western frontier states had entirely banned alcohol in 1845. This map shows that just about all mid-western states were completely dry by 1915, the map also shows us where prohibition had not been introduced by the states before 1915 i.e. the eastern coast where most of the major cities are situated. This source tells us that there was limited support for prohibition before 1845 and 1915. From this we can assume that the government were responding to a public demand for the ban of alcohol in the USA. However this source is limited in many ways. The first reason is it doesn't tell us why the states went 'dry' and it doesn't say when they went dry, as there is a 70-year gap between 1845 and 1915. It doesn't tell us whether it was popular in that state among ordinary people or whether it was a hand full of influential people. It also doesn't say why it was popular and whether it was religious groups who were the reasons behind prohibition in those states. It doesn't show which social classes supported it, whether it was a general view and which parts of society didn't support prohibition. It doesn't show how many people were against it and whether they were successful. It
Prohibition Sources Questions
Ruhail Amin 11g . Source A's provenance is the Anti-Saloon League which is in favour of prohibition and is against the so called 'demon drink' which outlines its attentions to ban alcahol. The majority of Americans wanted to see the end of alcahol, especially those whose families were at risk. Source A potraits these probems with a cartoon of a man giving in his weekly wages for alcahol. Not only that, but their are 3 other men with similar attentions on alcahol with minimum wealth. The source makes an exception for those who care for their families and don't throw their hard earned wages on alcahol. Of course the source is useful in the view that prohibition was established later on, but it is a typical propaganda source from the Anti- Saloon League which was made in the time running up to prohibition so their was bound to be strong resistance from Anti-Saloon League. Such sources are useful in the naked eye that it provides a highly personal account and shows the taste and techniques of a particular time. However, it is a general impression rather than a detailed picture of problems caused by alcahol. The man that cashes in with all this is the bar keeper who is gathering a handsome some of money which shows him profiting in with people's addictions alcahol. The good thing about source A is that it shows one man in over particular
