Roosevelt's New Deal Summary

Decent Essays
This book is about Roosevelt’s New Deal program during the great depression. It gives the background of Roosevelt and his campaign to win the election. It relies on the theory or realignment to explain why many republicans converted to the Democratic Party, beginning a big movement of momentum with Roosevelt’s policies to help them during the depression. For these policies to work Roosevelt had to get the stubborn Republicans left to cooperate. It then talks about the foreign affairs the New Deal affected and how Roosevelt had to resolve. His New Deal programs not only helped the Great Depression, but overseas during WWII.

    In the United States, Roosevelt’s “New Deal” was constantly under attack by more radical democrats, such as Louisiana Governor Huey Long and Dr. Francis Townsend. The former spoke out against industrial monopolies, while the latter demanded a $200 monthly pension for Americans over the age of 60. While Roosevelt could have dismissed these radical notions entirely, he instead chose to implement his opponent’s ideas into new reform measures. The Social Security Act of 1935 provided a small pension to the elderly, and Roosevelt’s frequent acts of trust-busting broke up large corporations, and redistributed power to many smaller companies. Instead of shunning the radical perspectives of his rivals, Roosevelt accepted them to promote honest change, an action only possible in a democratic system.…

    During Herbert Hoover's presidency, the Depression was fueled by the administration's hesitance to increase government spending. However, by financing many individual groups and agencies, the Roosevelt administration was able to get more money out for public use. The administration used strategies like giving out the social security checks mentioned in Document E to help redistribute much of the wealth in America to the working class. This was an important step in changing the government from a passive bystander to an active assistant that was working to help eliminate the problems of the Great Depression. This change, brought about by Roosevelt's New Deal, was vital in asserting Roosevelt's abilities to disable the Depression and is a good example of the effectiveness of Roosevelt's…
