Use the sources and your knowledge of America history explain why there has been so much disagreement in the USA over the effects of the New Deal.

        In 1933 Roosevelt set up some agencies to help the unemployed. The CWA, PWA and WPA agencies were set up to improve roads, build schools, build railways and many other things for the country. Not only did it help the country but provided jobs for millions of unemployed over the course of several years. Source G supports this by showing how Roosevelt is trying remedies to help ‘Uncle Sam’ (America) with the agencies. People had different views on this. The poor would have been encouraged by this and seek to join and also have faith in their future. I think these agencies could off inspired the popularity of the song in source I. the rich on the other hand will probably hold the opinion of the cartoonist in source E and say Roosevelt is wasting vast amounts of money on things he doesn’t really know will be successful. In the picture Roosevelt is wasting water/money and throwing away well earned water/money.

        Another group of people who thought badly of the New Deal where black people as many black servants and labourers lost their job’s when Roosevelt advised farmers to reduce their produce and less work help was required on the farm. This was good for farmers as they got more profits and money from the government but bad news for blacks. Source D supports this by showing black people queuing for government relief and pictured not being a part of the ‘American Way’ and the supposed highest ‘standard of living’.

        All in all people had different views on the New Deal, as it didn’t help everyone. Everyone had his or her experiences, benefits and problems with the New Deal and with it comes different opinion.
