This poster, promoting the The Civilian Conservation Corps, demonstrates the patriarchal views of Canadian society during this time period. Its targeting of the male population, while completely dismissing the female public is evidence of the lack of job roles for women during the 1930’s. The art, depicting a young man holding an axe indicates the great value placed upon unskilled manual labour by the government. This poster is an example of bias in the way that it fails to mention the negative…

The Civilian Conservation Corps sent 250,000 young men to work camps to perform reforestation and conservation tasks. This removed surplus of workers from cities, provided healthy conditions for boys, and provided money for families. [ (New Deal Programs) ] With the creation of this program President Roosevelt brought together the nation’s young men and the land in an effort to save them both. [ (Civilian Conservation Corps CCC) ] President Roosevelt proposed to recruit thousands of unemployed…

Before Franklin Delano Roosevelt was inaugurated as President, more than 25% of the population was unemployed. The New Deal agencies gave these families a chance when they had no hope. One of those successful agencies was the CCC–Civilian Conservation Corps. Locally there is Clarkco State Park in Quitman, MS that was founded and built by the CCC. Currently there is the CCC Legacy that was founded to not let the history and purpose of the CCC die after it was disbanded in 1942. There is much to…

In the Great Depression, there were hardly any jobs. So, Franklin D. Roosevelt, also known as FDR, came up with a plan called the “New Deal.” The three main goals of this plan was relief, recovery, and reform. To accomplish those tasks, many groups were formed. One of those groups was the Civilian Conservation Corps, also known as the CCC. The main goal of the Civilian Conservation Corps was to put young men from ages eighteen to twenty-five to work and to solve the physical problems of the…

Also, because the workers were paid only a dollar a day it was viewed as “slave labor”. The union began to have protests due to the amount of work that was required but paid in so little. Roosevelt then decided to let the Civilian Conservation Corps to be ran by a man from the union. Although people felt negatively about the program, “no one within the program had any complaints about it, they were fed abundantly to the point that on average there was a 12 pound weight gain amongst the men” as…

to halt the economy's deterioration. The following “R” was recovery, which instated temporary programs to restart the flow of consumer demand. The final “R,” reform, enforced permanent programs to avoid another depression and insure citizens against economic disasters. Collectively, the New Deal changed the role of government entirely. Before the New Deal, the government had essentially no role in steering the economy or in providing for the people, but the New Deal provided an opportunity for…

hard times also, such as the Stock Market crash of 1929, but this was handled quickly with Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal plan. The New Deal was successful in pulling the U.S. out of the Great Depression because it created an increase in job opportunities, generated a(n) economic boost, and put a new focus on the war. After Franklin D. Roosevelt created the New Deal within his first 100 days in office (New Deal Gale), FDR created a social program called the Civilian Conservation Corp. which…

Furthermore, the program was successful throughout the states and FDR wanted to make the CCC a permanent program in…
