Background On The New Deal [click to view full size] The president in 1929 was Herbert Hoover. During WWI, Hoover had made a name for himself as head of the Food Administration, the agency in charge of rationing food and feeding the army. In the 1920s he was popular as the secretary of commerce. Contrary to popular belief, Hoover did take action to try and [click to view full size] [click to view full size] Still, by the election of 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt 's cheerful, relaxed, almost carefree personality seemed just what the country needed. Roosevelt, a Democrat, was governor of New York. During his time in Albany Roosevelt had strayed from his elitist origins and had begun to take on the role of a reformer. Many of the programs he would introduce to help the country had their origins in New York. More than anything Roosevelt was ready to use the power of the federal government to a degree never seen before or since in American history.

Beginning in the United States, the depression spread to most of the world’s industrial countries, which in the 20th century had become economically dependent on one another. The Great Depression saw rapid declines in the production and sale of goods and a sudden, severe rise in unemployment. Businesses and banks closed their doors, people lost their jobs, homes, and savings, and many depended on charity to survive. In 1933, at the worst point in the depression, more than 15 million Americans—one-quarter of the nation’s workforce—were unemployed.

More Information B Effects of the Depression After the crash, the economy raced downhill. Unemployment, which affected 3 percent of the labor force in 1929, reached 25 percent in 1933. With one out of four Americans out of work, people stopped spending money. Demand for durable goods—housing, cars, appliances—and luxuries declined, and production faltered. By 1932 the gross national product had been cut by almost one-third. By 1933 over 5,000 banks had failed, and more than 85,000 businesses had gone under. The effects of the Great Depression were devastating. People with jobs had to accept pay cuts, and they were lucky to have work. In cities, the destitute slept in shanties that sprang up in parks or on the outskirts of town, wrapped up in “Hoover blankets” (newspapers) and displaying “Hoover flags” (empty pockets). On the Great Plains, exhausted land combined with drought to ravage farms, destroy crops, and turn agricultural families into migrant workers. An area encompassing parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado became known as the Dust Bowl. Family life changed drastically. Marriage and birth rates fell, and divorce rates rose. Unemployed breadwinners grew depressed; housewives struggled to make ends meet; young adults relinquished career plans and took whatever work they could get.

89. The New Deal Network The new deal Network. By Pedro Ponce experiences of people who are generally not covered in the chapter on the great depression in the history textbook. http://www.neh.gov/news/humanities/2000-01/newdealnetwork.html

The New Deal Network By Pedro Ponce Textbook accounts of the Great Depression usually cover topics like the stock market crash of 1929 and the New Deal legislation of the 1930s. Often lost in such accounts are the human faces behind the facts. The everyday struggle with plummeting salaries and widespread unemployment is vividly conveyed in letters of the time written by children to then First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. A girl from Springfield, Massachusetts, asks for money to help her parents pay for a refrigerator. Another girl, writing from Gravette, Arkansas, asks for old dresses she might wear to school. To explain a lack of Christmas presents, a mother in Mason, Wisconsin, tells her daughter that a blocked chimney foiled Santa Claus. The letters may not at first seem like essential historical documents. But these and other primary sources can be valuable for bringing history to life. And they are even more valuable when combined with the latest teaching technology, according to historian Thomas Thurston, project director for the New Deal Network, a website devoted to scholarship on the New Deal's recovery programs. Its URL is newdeal.feri.org. The Internet has changed the way the period is taught, Thurston says, by providing access to resources "that reflect the lived experiences of people who are generally not covered in the chapter on the Great Depression in the history textbook."

Causes The Stock Market Crash The Stock Market Crash in October of 1929 is often cited as the beginning of the Great Depression, but did it actually cause it? The answer is no. First, the stock price for a particular company merely reflects current information about the future income stream of that company. Thus, it is a change in available information that changes the stock price. When the Fed began to raise interest rates in early 1929, this began the tumble. However, a stock market crash could cause people to increase their liquidity preference which might lead them to hoard money. In the August 1990 issue of The Quarterly Journal of Economics , Christine D. Romer writes that "the negative effect of stock market variability is more than strong enough to account for the entire decline in real consumer spending on durables that occurred in late 1929 and 1930."

99. The Depression In The U.S.--An Overview The great depression. In October 1929 the stock market crashed, wiping out 40 In a certain sense, it is fair to say that the new deal merely introduced http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/depression/overview.htm

The Depression in the United StatesAn Overview The Great Depression In October 1929 the stock market crashed, wiping out 40 percent of the paper values of common stock. Even after the stock market collapse, however, politicians and industry leaders continued to issue optimistic predictions for the nation's economy. But the Depression deepened, confidence evaporated and many lost their life savings. By 1933 the value of stock on the New York Stock Exchange was less than a fifth of what it had been at its peak in 1929. Business houses closed their doors, factories shut down and banks failed. Farm income fell some 50 percent. By 1932 approximately one out of every four Americans was unemployed. The core of the problem was the immense disparity between the country's productive capacity and the ability of people to consume. Great innovations in productive techniques during and after the war raised the output of industry beyond the purchasing capacity of U.S. farmers and wage earners. The savings of the wealthy and middle class, increasing far beyond the possibilities of sound investment, had been drawn into frantic speculation in stocks or real estate. The stock market collapse, therefore, had been merely the first of several detonations in which a flimsy structure of speculation had been leveled to the ground. The presidential campaign of 1932 was chiefly a debate over the causes and possible remedies of the Great Depression. Herbert Hoover, unlucky in entering The White House only eight months before the stock market crash, had struggled tirelessly, but ineffectively, to set the wheels of industry in motion again. His Democratic opponent, Franklin D. Roosevelt, already popular as the governor of New York during the developing crisis, argued that the Depression stemmed from the U.S. economy's underlying flaws, which had been aggravated by Republican policies during the 1920s. President Hoover replied that the economy was fundamentally sound, but had been shaken by the repercussions of a worldwide depression whose causes could be traced back to the war. Behind this argument lay a clear implication: Hoover had to depend largely on natural processes of recovery, while Roosevelt was prepared to use the federal government's authority for bold experimental remedies.

The New Deal: North Carolina's Reconstruction? Deborah Pendleton Martin Middle School Raleigh, NC Jackie Brooks Ligon GT Magnet Middle School Raleigh, NC This lesson plan is a guide for teachers that will result in imaginary WPA interviews similar to those found in the American Life Histories, 1936-1940 of the American Memory Collection of the Library of Congress website that demonstrate students' interpretation of the question "Was the New Deal North Carolina's 'Reconstruction'?" A 1930's view of the Atlantic Beach boardwalk, bath houses, and old casino, where dances, concerts-and sometimes professional boxing matches-were held. from "The Fighter Who Wouldn't," The State , October, 1986, page 21. A written WPA report on an imaginary North Carolina resident who lived during the Reconstruction and Depression eras is the product of this assignment. Students must complete research of the American Life Histories, 1936-1940 from the American Memory Collection , select an occupation for future research, and explore additional print and electronic sources. The "interview" must be historically accurate, support a thesis that answers the question, and include an appropriate sensory illustration. The Student Project Objectives The student project will demonstrate mastery of a variety of objectives that include creative writing, historical appreciation and criticism, recognition of bias, and incorporation of text and illustration reflecting primary source research.
