the great depression was a harsh period for most amersicans. People live's quality was brought down but thanks to FDR's new deal America still stands on its feet
I listened to the Fred Sweet interview. He ran an advertisement company during the depression. When farmers came in to put an add in the paper to sell their farms he said that it was hard to make them pay for the advertisement. He said that it was hard on him to make a broke person go even more broke just to get their add in the paper where the average add was $10 let alone the printing costs for extra fliers. He said that it was just to hard on his character.
The Albert Shaw, Postmaster picture was very appreciative to FDR's new deal. He said that the WPA checks that came in to the post office he worked at was the biggest payroll in the city. With that held true, that would make that city quite poor. He also stated that the banks were founded on the governmental checks.
The New Deal was the three R's: relief, recovery, and reform. Reform is obviosly the one that lasted longest and still lasts today with things such as the FDIC stating that if you put money in the bank (up to $5000 then and $100,000 now) you would be insured by the government that no matter what you would be able to get that money back. The relief and recovery, such as the bank holiday, was very temporary and would last very short just to restart the economy.
postmaster picture:
The postmaster probally never experienced the penuary that many experienced. Before the Depression, this man experienced a comfortable life of few pleasures, yet he had all that he needed and then some. He worked regular hours, got regular pay and his job was honorable. After and during the Depression, he experienced poverty for the first time, and possesed few comforts, and scraped to achive his basic needs. His hours were no longer regular or as pleniful and his pay was much less. He started to experence mental and physical depression as an effect of political, social and mostly economicpressures that he never dealt with before.
The parts of the New Deal that remained permenant are the following:
Soil Conservation Act
National Labor Relations Act and National Labor Relations Board (NLRA/NLRB)
Social Security Administration
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC)
Claude Campbell, a miner, says that through the WPA, he's seen some good work done, and that there've been some good projects, although he hasn't taken part in any of them. He comments that the curb, gutters, and sidewalks are the most commendable projects. Campbell also states that the "worst part of it" is that the men aren't paid enough.
Although Franklin D. Roosevelt came into office not knowing how to address the issue of the Great Depression, he did realized that something had to be done to give hope to the millions of Americans who've suffered the turmoil of the Depression. Roosevelts's New Deal featured the three R's, which were:
relief, recovery, and reform. The programs that were created under these goals created not only jobs for Americans, but hope. The many acts and agencies that were created under the three R's came to be known as the "alphabet soup," which would create a huge federal bureacracy in the United States.
I think that the part which has had the most long-term impact is the Reform part. Although the Relief and Recovery part allowed immediate action to take place to help the lives of Americans, as well as the economy, the Reform part of the three R's have actually kept the U.S. economy in pretty good shape. Obviously, it has had a long-term effect because the US economy have not deteriorated within close range to its Depression days.
A.E. William, a Ford dealer was thankful for the WPA because it helped many people during this time. People were beginning to get money and jobs and getting help from programs. This was great progress from the previous five years from when none of this was happening. The WPA caused many merchants to be there and if it wasn't for the WPA, none of the merchants would even exist. And that there wouldn't be a revolution without WPA because they wouldn't have been able to feed all the people anyways. So this was a big step for mny people and they all liked it.
I think the act that had to longest impact was FDR's three R's. because without this, none of the acts and programs would've never been created for the benefit of the economy. This was a time for FDR to call out his three R's and it worked for the most part and it lasted.
It seemed as though Roosevelts moves made in the new deal did help the people they seemed very pleased. For those who owned little businesses and or big establishments they seemed to working out just fine. The three R's indeed help the people.
A.E William, a ford dealer, was all for he New Deal. he thought it was great and with out it there would be many people that would have been with out money. He was really thnkful for the WPA the most. He felt it helped a lot of people at the time. It resulted in a lot of merchants being there and if it wasnt for the WPA those merchants probally wouldnt have existed.
FDR said to try somethiing and if it didnt work try someting else. Well he did he had the New Deal, this New deal consisted of three R's: relief, recovery and reform. The things that came out of the new deal like social security have had a long lasting impact on the economy even till this day. the social security is a very im portant aspect to the economy. Thi led the economys out of depression and allowed them to get back started. Also during this time it gave about 11 millin jobs to the people in alll diffrent types of work.
The depression was a horrible era. I'm glad that Roosevelt and his administration took action. Alot of his new policies or laws were the right choice and affect us today like for social security, minimum wages or bankers' deposits being insured.
Roosevelt's ideas were very important and I think they helped out alot. I think that paying the farmers not to produce was weird, but in the end, it made the prices go back up.The laws that still remain the same include Social Security Administration, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and National Labor Relations Act and National Labor.

The Great Depression caused a major crisis for many during the 1930s which dealt with politiics,the social life and economics. Many of these issues were ignored until Franklin D. Roosevelt became president an d establiished his New Deal. This New Deal cosisted of three parts; relief, recovery and reform. The goal was to make a balance between the capitalist class and the working calss through giving the government the authority to tax, borrow, spend money or goods to find solutions to the problems of the economy from the Great Depresssion mishap.

Mattie May Maddox is a librarian in the WPA Agency working in Carbon Hill, AL. The library is in a old, moldy room with only about 100 books on the shelves. The library is not very known in the community but she thinks that if there were more books, more people would use the library since most people want fiction.
When Franklin D. Roosevelt became President, he saw the turmoil created within the Great Depression. To help the U.S. recover, he created the New Deal feauturing three R's: relief for the needy, economic recovery, and financial reform. His New Deal allowed for millions of Americans to get jobs, food and clothes were given to the poor, the economy was slowly rising again.
I think that the part of Roosevelt's New Deal that has the most long-term impact would be the Reform part. Relief and recovery helped stabilize the economy as well as provide care for Americans but it's reform that has lasted the longest. The economy has not broken down yet and many policies within the reform part still exist today, although they may have changed somewhat but the gist is the same.
People like Ben Pair, a laborer, were thankful for FDR's New Deal. His main concern at the time, as well as many others', seemed to be food. Thanks to WPA, he was able to feed his children.
(Sorry Fons, I don't use realPlayer beccause it sucks.)
Although pretty much all aspects of the New Deal had a long term impact, because they helped bring the US out of the depression, certain parts, like Social Security, the FDIC, and the soil conservation act, are still around today and continue to affect the lives of Americans as they did back when they were first created.
JE Fairley--who was a barber during the great depression--and his customer, WB Cummings, both believed that the WPA greatly helped them and their surrounding community. They believed that without help from the WPA, their town would be short needed money. The WPA has allowed them to happily live their lives.
FDR created the New Deal as an attempt to "declare war on the depression." His way of accomplishing this was through the three R's: relief, recovery, and reform. The New Deal implemented many programs which are still used today. These include the social security act which provided insurance for the retired and disabled. Also, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation which insured a certain amount of money deposited in the bank.
the new deal was a hard thing for many people to deal with. But in the long run the 3 R's benfited the Us by inproving the all around quality of the people in the states. The pictures all said the almost same thing as usually.
J.E. Fairley, a barbers was in favor of the new deal. The WPA allowed him to get his business going and customers flowing in.
After Roosevelt was elected as president he set forth the 3 "R's" that he hoped will recover the United States from the depression. The 3 R's were relief, recovery, and reform. Under relief, FERA gave immediate help to those that needed it in the form of cash payments. Under recovery, the WPA provided long term government jobs building schools and other public works projects. Under reform, social securities was established. I think that the most long term impact was reform because most of the reform are still in effect today. Examples are the deposit insurance act, social security, ans SEC.
Q:Which parts have had the most long term impact?
A:Through FDR's New Deal he created the 3 R's, Relief, Recovery, and Reform. The one that seems to still have an lasting effect on the U.S. to day os Reform. Reform was defined as permanent programs to avoid another depression and insure citizens against economic disasters. The acts and agreement made made under the reform are still present to day such as the Social Security Admistration, which takes $ away from an individuals check and once they are old and unable to work the will have funding so that they don't become homeless.The security &Exchange Act regulate Wall street and doesn't allow borrowing on the margin. This is a BIG improvement b/c thats's one of main ways they got in debt in the first place. The wagner Act gives guideline as how to organize a union and present the rights to that union.
Anyhow, this was just some evidence of something to refer to to show the reason as to why the Reform has the long term impact. By producing the 3 R's America's economy has yet to drop to another depressed moment which shos that FDR's ideas and time in office was a great success and had everlasting effects on America.
Teenagers like the ones in the photo of a night football game Were helpedmout by the New Deal. The New Deal gave them a way to find jobs so they had money to go to these games. Along with that they were also allowed more freedom ffrom their parents . Eveeryone knows how high school students always say we don't have enough days off during the school year. Well the New Deal gave them a new holiday which gave them another day off of school.
Picture Jesse Edgil, Gasoline Station Attendant:
This person thought that the best part of the new deal was the WPA. He seems very young too. He thinks that the WPA is good because of the ball park it made. He seems to glorify that instead of the other acheivements of WPA.
Picture Chester (Check) Latham, Mine Foreman: This man also praises the WPA. He says that it has done way more good than bad. That even though people abuse it, it is still worth it.
Roosevelts solution to the depression was titled the three R's. Relief, recovery, and reform. Through releif FDR sought to take immediate action to stop the falling of americas economy. Some other releif measures that he took was that he passed the emergenvy banking act, federal emergency releif Act, Civil Works Administration, and Civilian Conservation Corps.
After that was done he sought recovery, he called it "priming the pump". He wanted to get business started so that he could rebuild Americas consumer demand. Some laws that were passed to begin recovery were Agricultural Adjustment Act, National Industrial Recovery Act, Home Owners Loan Corp, Works Progress Administration, and Tennessee Valley Authority.
Finally through reform he sought to bring permanent programs to avoid another depression. He passed laws like Securities & Exchange Commission, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Social Security Administration, National Labor Relations Act and National Labor Relations Board, and Soil Conservation Act.
The acts that made the most impact were passed in the second new deal. Such laws like the Social Securities Act, Wagner Act which brought forth the National Labor Relations Board.
The Great Deppression was terrible period.Through FDRs New Deal he created the 3 Rs, relief, recovery, and reform. This help change the living style of everyone living during the 1930s. Many acts were created which was also called the "alphabet soup." The types of acts created during this period were the AAA, CCC, and the WPA. The Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) was a act that paid farmers to not make a lot of products because people didnt have jobs to buy it. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) act provided many civilians with jobs and the WPA guranteed many people jobs.
When looking at the pictures it seems as if the people had Roosevelt to thank. I also feel that they had him to thank. If it weren't for him i think that many of them would have remained homeless, jobless, unclothed, hungery, and basic no hope for a better life. If it weren't for Roosevelt many of them would have been dead. The three R's represneted Relief, Recovery, and Reform. The New Deal to me was very successful. It did just thing as create employment, made the banks safer, help farmers to pay their mortgages, provided social security, and made employment set up minimum wages and maximum hours for the week with overtime.
I listened to the first interview. The lady talking in it explain how her mother used to tell her how she had to live. She told her daughter about how it was growing up in the depression era. People had to literally hunt for food to live off of. She also talked about how her uncles were proud of the depression, because they made it through it, and in the end received a lot of money. I guess in the end all of us have to be thankful for the new deal, because without it were would we be today?
Albert Shaw, Postmaster-
Albert Shaw was a postmaster, an official in charge of a postal district, in the small town of Carbon Hill, AL. The total population of Carbon Hill was around 2500, but only 475 receive WPA checks. During the New Deal, the work projects administration (WPA) was established by Congress and people would employ on useful projects such as construction of buildings, roads, etc. These workers would line up every two weeks in this town to collect their work money.
I think FDR's recovery and reform R's had the most long term impact. Some of the issues that were cleared up are still in used today such as the Social Security Administration. Each U.S. citizen has their own social security and it ensures that the older segment of society always would have enough money to survive.
A. E. Williams, Ford Dealer-
he likes the new deal. for him the wpa was a miracles becuase it has been the salvation of carbon hill. from it there were a lot of improvement. without the wpa he thinks that there wouldn't be any merchants there at that time. this for him was a revolution.
i couldn't listen to the interviews.
i think the social security act had the most long term impact because it still exist today. it still exist and still help.
Calude Campbell like the Work Progress Administration(WPA)because it funded empolyment. Those who were emploied worked on public projects, like sidewalks, curbs, and gutter, which in his opinion was done well.
I can't listen to the interviews.
Reforms, which was created to have permanent programs, had the most long term impact. Also, the Relief part had a long term effect. For example, the Social Security Administration that is still active today because it allows an old person to retire with pay and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation which guarantees the depositors' money is safe.
The main goals of the New Deal was the 3R's, relief, recovery, and reform. FDR was set on making sure that all US citzens had a job. The WPA make sure that everyone, including blacks had a job. Evidence of this is shown with the picture of black miner. It was hard for blacks at the time to find a job but because of the depression it didn't mattered what race you were. All that mattered was that everyone had a job so they are to put money back into the economy.
As I had already talked about before, FDR's New Deal had three parts, relief- Immediate action taken to halt the economies deterioration, recovery- Immediate action taken to halt the economies deterioration, and reform- Permanent programs to avoid another depression and insure citizens against economic disasters. Reform has the biggest impact today. The whole point of reform was to insure that another depression will never happened again so I guess FDR knew what he was doing. The SEC, the FDIC, the Wagner Act, the social security administration, and the soil conservation act are still important today.
I picked Lucille Normand. She has to support herself, both her parents, and her children alone, but she is managing because she has a job as a seamstress with the WPA and she recieves direct relief. Obviously she has to work hard, but she isn't living in poverty and she has some luxuries (like more free time than some) because of New Deal provisions.
Many agencies Roosevelt set up are still around, including the FDIC and Social Security. Others have been discontinued, but the idea of Keynesian economics—where the government is very involved in the economy and especially in relief for the poor, old, or disabled—is still around and mostly taken for granted. Minimum wage and maximum hours laws (first established by the NIRA) are still in effect, even though the NIRA has expired.
Reverend McCall believed that FDR's three R's help the black community and increased chruch attendance. After the Depression the New Deal gave many people hope and because of the Working Progress Administration (WPA)many people employment and the ability to supply the needs of their families.
Because of the stock market crash of the 1920's the U.S was in big trouble people had no food, no jobs, and no money so when Roosevelt's New Deal came along many people like Mrs. Greene and A.E. William. Roosevelt's New Deal Consisted of the 3 R's relief, recovery and reform and wanted to distribute the wealth between the suppliers and the Consumers as well as the farmers with for example the AAA and WPA.
In my opinion this was a really good way to bring America back on its feet, get the economy back moving along , and help out to those who were under "Hoovervilles" to "Put a chicken in to every pot"
Maude Patterson was one of those fortunate enough to get help from the WPA. Despite the fact that she was in one for the poorest cities of the poorest state in the U.S., the WPA managed to bring in money. Obviously the Depression facilitated in creating this povery-ridden state, but with the New Deal, the WPA was able to help the city out.
I listened to the interview of the children of people. The interviewer brought up the point that the main objective was to stay alive, and that the Depression helped to inflict this realization on the American people.
The New Deal was essentially a government-run program that set out to help the country after the Depression. This is included those who had lost their jobs and are now living in poverty. To do this, FDR stressed what he called his three "Rs." These were Relief, Recovery, and Reform. FDR set up immediate plans that helped to get the country back on it's feet, some of which still survive today.
I took a look at the photo essay with Calude Campbell,a miner who seemed very torn about the whole depression and the New Deal.
He basically said that there were some changes going on within the United States but him personally wasn't getting involved in any of those changes because he belongs to the working class of the United States.
I noticed that the picture itself says a lot about the type of person this man was and where he came from because he worked in a mine and it was shown all over his face. It seems as if the New Deal and The Depression hit some places with a big impact and some with very little impact. It seems like the man in the picture was hit hard by the Depression but doesn't seem to even know very much about the New Deal and what it entitled to everyone, not just a select few.
It also seemed as if people were being told that the New Deal had the three big r's: Relief, Recovery, And Reform, but the governemt didn't explain what this meant to EVERYONE within the United States but yet let the working class believe that something was being done and that's all they needed to know
Wow a lot to do...
Well I was looking through the photos and I seen the one of the telephone line man. During the New Deal electricity lines were expanding out to the rural areas. The New Deal also provided people with more opportunities like work and ideas.
Listening to the audio clips... the 1930's changed their lives a lot. It changed overall their lifestyles. Now work places and clinics are cleaner and safier to be in. Poverty doesn't exist as bad as it did back then. Illness also decreased and population increased.
That's all I have time for. Off to school!!!
ELISA ESTRADA
During the 1920-30s the stock market crash and the depression was on the rise. At this time Roosevelt was elected as president and he made the 3 R`s, The 3 R's were relief, recovery, and reform,
that may recover the United States from the depression. The main things that had a long term affect was the Social Security Act provided money for the people who would retire. Also, the deposit insurance act, and SEC. Mrs. Aileen Brown who is a member of the WPA now that it was help many to get jobs. Also, now banks have and insurance which will insure about 10,000 dollars. All this acts are still in affect today and make the economy a bit stable than before.
Which parts have had the most long term impact? There were many different situations that contributed to the Great Depression. Businesses collapsed, stock collapsed, and banks failed b/c everyone was in a panic to retrieve their money from the banks. When president FDR came into office it was his duty to change the down spiral of Ameraca's economy and the people in general. FDR came up with the New deal. In this New Deal there were 3 section which contribute to the U-turn in America depression. There was relief,recovery, and reform. The parts of the New Deal the seem to appear as to having the longest impression were the acts and agreement made under the reform section. There was the Social Security Act, which is still active today, that helped the disabled, people with multiple children, and elder who had to retire so that theyed have money to take care them later in life. The social security Act was a way for the govenment to redistribute the wealth. There's the wagner Act which hires every type of worker such as artist, miners, singers, dancers, and field workers. Through artist, specifically broad way, the WPA help show their audience poverty and what the US was lacking during this time period. There were many other act and organizations formed to "boost" America into become the #1 country again. So this answer the question as to which part had the most long term impact....Reform.
I think most of you all are missing a major point in the question...
The question, which is divided into two parts, asked how they experienced the Depression and New Deal, and Which parts have had the most long term impact? Everyone is saying that reform, recovery, and relief are the long-term impact on the New Deal...but that just names what the New Deal was about. The New Deal's major impacts were the Wagner Act, the Social Security Act, the Fair Labor and Standards Act, and the Works Progress Administration, not recovery, relief, and reform. Those are broad terms that describe what the New Deal's aims were. Most of you answered part 1, but not part 2. People liked Roosevelt (like Mrs. Greene and Mrs. Aileen Brown) b/c it offered relief immediately for those who were laid off, and those who lost all they had.
The parts of the New Deal that had the greatest long term effects were the reform aspects.Many of the acts set up for reform are still in action today; such as the social security act and federal deposit insurance.
A.E. Williams, Ford Dealer thought that the WPA was the most helpful agency in the deppression. It helped with employment and according to Williams really jumped started his towns economy.
For the farmers like Hugh Stubblefield, the time during the Great Depression was the hardest, they were beginning to lose connections with the urban growing of the towns and most of the country, the Dust Bowls just emphasized the failing farmlands of the country, top-soil was exposed and the dust was blown from coast to coast, the farmers were overproducing and the demand had fell since the end of the war and the roaring twenties so there was less countries and people needing the farmers supplies, in the end, the situations turned out ok because of the government's dealing withy the farming problems, they paid the famrers to deal with the overproduction problem
I agree that most of the reform acts had a long term impact but I also think that some of the acts placed for recovery really helped the long term place of our economy.
Albert Shaw, Postmaster thought that Wpa really helped the economy in his twon but at the same time seems sarcastic towards the fact that WPA money made up as much of the towns income as the actual industrial work or even more.
The New Deal's major impacts were the Wagner Act, the Social Security Act, the Fair Labor and Standards Act, and the Works Progress Administration, not recovery, relief, and reform.It's plan was to creat alphabet soup organizaitons, which weree to help the people.
I read about A.E. Williams the Ford Dealer and he could be considered a lucky one. The new deal did do some great things but some people did suffer. In his county everyone reaped the benefits of it, he was happy because the whole town recovered from the depression.
A.E. Williams,a Ford car dealer fomr Carbon Hill Alabama was affected in a positive way by the New Deal, instituted by President Franklin Delano Rosevelt during the period of the depression. According to his experience, he believed the Works Progress Administration was a blesing that saved peoples lifes. It brought new teachers to their schools and merchants. It also helped in providing food for the needy. Without the WPA, people would of suffered a lot more.
The New Deal, was based on the three R's proposed by FDR, Relief, Recovery and Reform. With Relief, they were trying to halt the economies deterioration and preventing it from getting worse. It offered programs like The Federal Emergency Relief Act to provide,emergensy help to the people that desperatly needed money. In the area of Recovery, the government focused on "Priming the Pump," which meant that the government was willing to invest money on the problems in order to get them going. Restarting the flow of consumer demand was their main purpose. One program they made was the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which paid farmers for not growing food. Another was the Works Progress Administration that helped build schools and public works projects. The last area, reform, focused on developing permanent programs to avoid another depression or more economic disasters. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was established to insure deposits in the new banks for up to 5,000. The Wagner Act was also implemented which allowed work unions and the social security act to be established, which provided grants for the elderly and the disabled.
Interviewee: Blankenship, Buddy
Buddy use to be the kind of guy that whent to school. But after he got tired of walking 14 miles to get their and money problems rose up he became a miner with his daddy. In my opinion Buddy lived a horrible life thanks 2 the Great Depression. The bosses of his company demanded a lot, they had to do everything they said or else they would get fired. There were not better jobs then that. They worked 16-17 hour days for 25cents, but then it whent up to $1.50. They did any work they could to get money. Buddy ended up dying of black lung dease thanks to the coal mine.
Bynon McLaine was a miner who experienced the new deal through lack of work. He was only working two days out of a week trying to raise a family. His twenty year old son wasn't even able to get a job so he sat around the house all day.Eventually the New Deal brought along the CCC, and WPA. Both provided jobs for the needy. Franklin Roosevelts New Deal stressed his three R's Relief, recovery and reform. His new deal goal was to end the depression.
The long term effects of the New Deal were the Wagner Act which allowed the creation of work unions, the Social Security Administartion which provided work pensions, aid for the disabled and families who had a lot of children. The Fair Standards and Labor Act provided minimum wage, maximum work hours, and breaks.
The ford dealer show his appreciation for Roosevet and his New Deal policies. From his first person interview, I got to understand how the New Deal really impacted the community that Williams lives in. When the WPA built a pool in his community, it created jobs for the builders and recreation for the kids that will be able to use it.
Ths strongest policy of the New Deal that is still around today is Social Security. This program was directed towards the disadvanteged disabled and elderly. I think some people abuse the Social Security. In these days, people think that if they just get an injury or become obese, they can rely solely on the government and Social Security to get by. Some of the people who get Social Security should just go out and get a job.
i looked at the picture titled " grading high school grounds". what i got out of the picture is that many people between ages 13-18 were working while they shouldve been in school. even with the wages that men and their sons made families were unable to afford their basic needs in a lot of cases. the most important part of the new deal was the " alphabet soup" corporations that it established, which we started to help people get money and support the 3 R's- recovery, reform, and relief. some of these corporations are still aorund today, like the securites and exchange commission. the social secrity act is still in effect too.
Ben Pair, a laborer, was effected by the New Deal by the WPA. If Roosevelt hadnt made the New Deal and all of its ideas and such, Ben Pair wouldnt have been able to feed his kids. Like in caption of the picture, it says if Roosevelt wouldnt have made the WPA the people wouldve just done down to the store and took the things they needed because they couldnt afford it and in order to survive obviously they needed food.
Some effects of the new deal that are still used today are the Social Security Act. Without this the people that can't work or have too many kids or something like that, they have some source of income.
The New Deal was a very helpful, useful project. The 30's was a very difficult time economically and socially. The economy was quickly declining and deteriorating, and FDR's 3 R's helped America remain on its feet. Some of the aspects of the New Deal still remain today as a beneficial tool for our society.
Hugh Stubblefield, a Farmer at the time of FDR's presidency, felt that Roosevelt was doing a pretty good job with the New Deal. He said that no one's perfect and we all make mistakes.
