Franklin Roosevelt, although famous for leading our nation during a time of hardship, was notorious to us for being an economically conservative man, a capitalist in a time of financial crisis. The New Deal he presented was intended to provide relief for the banks, rescue homeowners and farmers from foreclosure, and most importantly, reform the unemployed. After being criticized of not helping the poor directly, he created the Second New Deal and further pushed for legislation that would help the economy, but they were discriminatory towards African Americans and women which brings the leftist to criticize that Roosevelt failed to help the minority groups. He did created the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) which employed 300,000 African Americans.
