725CHAPTER 25 The Depression and FDR

Suddenly in October 1929 everythingchanged Almost overnight the value of stocksplunged Millionaires lost fortunes and thou-sands of less wealthy investors lost their sav-ings The United States was about to enter itsworst domestic crisis since the Civil War

The BoomA stock exchange is an organized system for

buying and selling shares or blocks of invest-ments in corporations In the late 1920s thevalue of stocks on the New York Stock Exchangeclimbed to dizzying heights reaching recordlevels in September 1929

Because many investors lacked the money to continue purchasing stock they bought onmargin This means they paid only a fraction ofthe stock price and borrowed the rest from theirbrokers Brokers in turn borrowed their moneyfrom banks As long as the value of stocks con-tinued to rise the buyer could sell later payback what had been borrowed and make aprofit If that value fell though investors andbrokers would not have enough cash to pay offthe loans

The CrashFearing that the boom market would end

some investors began selling their stocks in lateSeptember These sales made stock prices fallBrokers began to demand repayment of loansforcing investors who had bought on margin tosell their stock

Prices declined steadily until October 21 butmost financial experts thought the market wasexperiencing nothing more than a ldquoperiod ofreadjustmentrdquo Then for three straight daysstock prices plunged as investors sold millions ofshares each day Panicked traders sold almost 13million shares on October 24 a day that becameknown as ldquoBlack Thursdayrdquo

Following a few days of calm the decline andconfusion continued on Monday On TuesdayOctober 29 the crisis worsened By the end ofthe day more than 16 million shares hadchanged hands and stock prices had plum-meted Journalist Jonathan Norton Leonarddescribed the scene

ldquoThe selling pressure was coming fromeverywhere The wires to other cities werejammed with frantic orders to sell So were thecables radio and telephones to Europe and therest of the world Buyers were few sometimeswholly absentrdquo

The New York Stock Exchange closed for afew days to prevent more panic selling Shockspread across the country

CHAPTER 25 The Depression and FDR726

While the stock market crash shook peoplersquosconfidence in the economy it did not cause theDepression Other factors working togethersent the economy into a long tailspin

An Unbalanced EconomyThe problems that led to the Great Depression

began to give out warning signals in the early1920s Farm income shrank throughout thedecade Industries also declined In the monthsbefore the stock market crash the automobileand construction industries suffered from lag-ging orders As a result employers cut wagesand laid off workers With their incomesslashed many Americans could no longer affordthe consumer goods that the nationrsquos industrieshad been churning out

Another factor that fueled the Depression wasthe growing gap in wealth between rich peopleand most Americans The prosperity of the1920s did not help all Americans equally In 1929less than 1 percent of the population ownednearly one-third of the countryrsquos wealth At thesame time about 75 percent of American fami-lies lived in poverty or on the very edge of it

Credit CrisisBorrowed money fueled much of the economy

in the 1920s Farmers bought land equipmentand supplies on credit Consumers used credit tobuy cars Investors borrowed to buy stocksMany small banks suffered when farmersdefaulted or failed to meet loan paymentsLarge banks which had bought stocks as aninvestment suffered huge losses in the stock

market crash These losses forced thousands ofbanks across the nation to close between 1930and 1933 millions of depositors lost their money

International DepressionWeaknesses in the American economy also

sapped the strength of foreign economies Euro-pean countries needed to borrow money fromAmerican banks and to sell goods to Americanconsumers in order to repay their World War Idebts to the United States During the late 1920sbank funds for loans dried up Internationaltrade slowed down because without Americanloans other nations had less money to spend

Joblessness and PovertyAs the Depression tightened its grip on the

United States millions lost their jobs In 1932 25percent of American workers were out of workThe unemployment rate remained near 20 per-cent throughout the decade Industrial cities werehardest hit Workers who managed to keep theirjobs worked only part-time or for reduced wages

The newly unemployed felt devastated NewYorker Sidney Lens who lost his job wroteabout developing

ldquoa feeling of worthlessnessmdashand loneliness I began to think of myself as a freak and misfitrdquo

Long lines of hungry people snaked throughthe streets of the nationrsquos cities They waited forhours to receive a slice of bread a cup of coffeeor a bowl of soup from soup kitchens run bylocal governments or charities

Forced to pay off debts for stocks that weresuddenly worthless Walter Thornton shownhere in October 1929 advertises his car forsale What was ldquoBlack Thursdayrdquo

Unemployed people tried to earn a few centsby shining shoes or selling apples on street cor-ners Those who had lost their homes built shel-ters out of old boxes and other debrissometimes grouped together in pitiful ldquoshanty-townsrdquo Some referred bitterly to the shanty-towns as Hoovervilles because of PresidentHooverrsquos failure to act Across the countryAmericans wondered why the president didnothing to end the suffering (See page 974 of the

Primary Sources Library for one account of life during the Depression)

Describing What percentage ofAmerican workers were out of work in 1932

Hoover and the CrisisPresident Hoover thought the economic cri-

sis was only temporary and that prosperity wasldquojust around the cornerrdquo He also believed thatthe ldquodepression cannot be cured by legislativeaction or executive pronouncementrdquo Instead

Hoover called on business leaders not to cutwages or production of goods and on charitiesto do their best for the needy Voluntary actionby private citizens and local governmentsHoover said would pull the nation throughtough times

Charities churches and volunteers workedheroically to provide reliefmdashaid for the needy So did state and local governments Some citieswithheld part of city workersrsquo wagesmdashalreadyreducedmdashto fund soup kitchens But the numberwho needed help was simply overwhelming

Government ActionEventually Hoover recognized that the federal

government had to take steps to combat theDepression In 1931 he authorized additional fed-eral spending on public worksmdashprojects such ashighways parks and librariesmdashto create newjobs State and local governments ran out ofmoney however and the combined spending byall three levels of government declined

mer president Theodore Roosevelt came from awealthy family Ambitious and charming FDRdecided on a career in politics In 1905 he mar-ried Theodore Rooseveltrsquos niece Eleanor Roose-velt and she became a tireless partner in hispublic life

for vice president The Democrats lost the elec-tion to Warren G Harding but Franklin Roose-veltrsquos political future seemed bright

to withdraw their deposits more and morebanks went out of business People becamedesperately afraid

ldquoIn March 1933 the New Deal was not aplan It was a happy phrase [FDR] hadcoined during the campaign It made peoplefeel better and in that terrible period of depres-sion they needed to feel betterrdquo

EconomicsJobs and Relief

Roosevelt gave high priority to creating jobsHe planned to help the unemployed with workrelief programs giving needy people govern-ment jobs During his first month in office FDRasked Congress to create the Civilian Conserva-tion Corps (CCC) Over the next 10 years theCCC employed about 3 million young men towork on projects that benefited the publicplanting trees to reforest areas building leveesfor flood control and improving national parks

Roosevelt made aid to the poor and sufferinganother priority FDR established the FederalEmergency Relief Administration (FERA) togive money to the states for use in helping peo-ple in need Roosevelt appointed Harry Hop-kins a New York social worker to lead theFERA Hopkins became one of FDRrsquos closestadvisers and got involved in several other NewDeal programs

Roosevelt did not forget agriculture On May12 Congress passed the Agricultural Adjust-ment Act (AAA) The act had two goals toraise farm prices quickly and to control pro-duction so that farm prices would stay up overthe long term

$

In the AAArsquos first year though the supply offood outstripped demand The AAA could raiseprices only by paying farmers to destroy cropsmilk and livestock To many it seemed shockingto throw food away when millions of peoplewent hungry The New Dealers claimed theaction was necessary to bring prices up

To control production and farm prices theAAA paid farmers to leave some of their landuncultivated If market prices of key farm prod-ucts such as wheat and cotton fell below a cer-tain level the AAA would pay farmerssubsidiesmdashgrants of moneymdashto make up thedifference In the first three years of the NewDeal farmersrsquo incomes rose by about 50 percentThe Supreme Court ruled that the AAA wasunconstitutional in United States v Butler (1936)for invading the reserved powers of the states

Rebuilding a RegionOne of the boldest programs launched during

the Hundred Days was the Tennessee ValleyAuthority (TVA) The TVA aimed to control flood-ing promote conservation and development andbring electricity to rural areas along the TennesseeRiver By building new dams and improving oth-ers the TVA ended the regionrsquos disastrous floodsAnd with hydroelectric powergenerating affordable electricitythousands of farms and homes insome Southern states were wiredfor electricity for the first time

Some critics charged thatfunds for the TVA should be usedto support programs nation-wide Power companiesalso attacked the programas unfair and communis-tic When the spring rainscame in 1937 however thesystem workedmdashthe damsprevented the TennesseeRiver from flooding Inthe end most observersagreed that the TVAwas an example ofsuccessful social andeconomic planning

Helping Business and LaborOn the last day of the Hundred Days Congress

passed the National Industrial Recovery Act(NIRA) which Roosevelt called ldquothe most impor-tant and far-reaching legislationrdquo ever passed inthe United States The NIRA aimed to boost theeconomy by helping business regulate itself

The NIRA crea ted the National RecoveryAdministration (NRA)which encouraged busi-nesses to set a minimumwage and abolish childlabor In addition theNRA tried to set upcodes governing pricingand other practices forevery industry HughJohnson a former generalnamed to head the NRA launched a campaignto promote the agency Before long the agencyrsquosblue eagle symbol and sloganmdashldquoWe Do OurPartrdquomdashappeared everywhere

Another program that the NIRA launched wasthe Public Works Administration (PWA) Its goalwas to stimulate the economy through the build-ing of huge public works projects that neededlarge numbers of workers The agency employedpeople to work on the construction of roads ship-yards hospitals city halls and schools Many

PWA projectsmdashsuch as New York Cityrsquos LincolnTunnel and Kentuckyrsquos Fort Knoxmdashstill stand ThePWA spent its funds slowly though and did nothave much immediate impact on unemployment

To avoid future banking crises Rooseveltcalled for reform of the nationrsquos financial systemCongress established the Federal Deposit Insur-ance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank depositsThe government guaranteed that money placedin a bank insured by the FDIC would not be lostif the bank failed

Congress also passed a law regulating the saleof stocks and bonds and created the Securitiesand Exchange Commission (SEC) This 1934law gave the SEC the power to punish dishoneststockbrokers and speculators

The strain shattered other families howeverNearly two million menmdashand a much smallernumber of womenmdashabandoned their homesThey took to the road drifting to warm placessuch as Florida and California

Women Go to WorkMany people thought that women should

not hold jobs as long as men were unemployedDespite such prejudices desperation drove alarge number of women into the workforceMany families survived on a womanrsquosincomemdasheven though American womenearned less than men

Women also worked harder at home to makeends meet Instead of buying clothes or gro-ceries they sewed their own clothing bakedtheir own bread and canned their own vegeta-bles Some women started home businessessuch as laundries or boardinghouses

The New Deal era opened doors for womenin public life President Roosevelt appointed thefirst woman ever to serve in the cabinet FrancesPerkins He also named more than 100 otherwomen to federal posts OnemdashEllen Sullivan

GeographyWhat Caused the Dust Bowl

Using new technology such as tractorsand disc plows farmers had cleared mil-lions of acres of sod for wheat farming Theydid not realize that the roots of the grass hadheld the soil in place When a severedrought struck in 1931 crops died and thesoil dried out Strong prairie winds simplyblew the soil away

Each storm stripped away more soil Onestorm in 1934 carried about 300 million tons ofsoil depositing some of it on ships 300 milesout in the Atlantic Ocean The droughtmdashandthe stormsmdashcontinued for years

People called the storms ldquoblack bliz-zardsrdquo A Texas boy wrote

ldquoThese storms were like rolling black smokeWe had to keep the lights on all day We wentto school with headlights on and with dustmasks onrdquo

Thousands of Dust Bowl farmers went bank-rupt and had to give up their farms About400000 farmers migrated to California andbecame migrant workers moving from place toplace to harvest fruits and vegetables So manycame from Oklahoma that people called themldquoOkiesrdquo One observer described their arrival

ldquoThey came in decrepit [broken-down]square-shouldered [cars] that looked likerelics of some antique culture piled highwith mattresses and cooking utensils and chil-dren with suitcases jugs and sacks strapped tothe running boardsrdquo

Explaining Where did many families move to escape the Dust Bowl

The Plight of MinoritiesThe Depression fell especially hard on the

minority groups who were already on the lowerrungs of the American economic ladder Thesegroups included African Americans NativeAmericans and Hispanic Americans

African AmericansIn the South more than half of the African

American population had no jobs African Amer-icans who lived and worked in Southern citiesfound their jobs taken by white people who hadlost theirs The collapse of farm prices crushedAfrican American farmers

Seeking more opportunity about 400000African American men women and childrenmigrated to Northern cities during the decade ofthe 1930s These migrants did not fare much bet-ter there however The jobless rate for AfricanAmericans remained high

African Americans did make some politicalgains during the Depression President Roose-velt appointed a number of African Americansto federal posts He had a group of advisersknown as the Black Cabinet that includedRobert Weaver a college professor and RalphBunche who worked for the State DepartmentMary McLeod Bethune who establishedBethune-Cookman College in Florida alsoserved as an adviser

African Americans continued to fight againstprejudice In 1939 opera singer Marian Ander-son was denied permission to sing in Constitu-tion Hall because she was black Mrs Roosevelthelped arrange for Anderson to give a historicconcert at the Lincoln Memorial

Native AmericansThe 1930s did bring some benefits to Native

Americans The new head of the Bureau ofIndian Affairs John Collier introduced a set ofreforms known as the Indian New Deal

Collier halted the sale of reservation land gotjobs for 77000 Native Americans in the CivilianConservation Corps and obtained Public WorksAdministration funds to build new reservationschools Most important he pushed Congress topass the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934This law restored traditional tribal governmentand provided money for land purchases toenlarge some reservations

Hispanic AmericansAt the beginning of the 1930s about two

million people of Hispanic descent lived in theUnited States mostly in California and theSouthwest Many had emigrated from MexicoThey worked as farmers migrant workers andlaborers As the Great Depression deepenedresentment against Mexican Americans grewMany lost their jobs Politicians and laborunions demanded that Mexican Americans beforced to leave the United States

The government encouraged Mexican immi-grants to return to Mexico Authorities gavethem one-way train tickets to Mexico or simplyrounded them up and shipped them southacross the border More than 500000 MexicanAmericans left the United States during the earlyyears of the Depression often involuntarily

Explaining What was the purposeof the Indian Reorganization Act

Radical Political MovementsHard times helped radical political groups

gain ground in the United States during the1930s Radical groups advocate extreme andimmediate change Socialists and Communistsviewed the Depression not as a temporary eco-nomic problem but as the death of a failed sys-tem They proposed sweeping changes

Communism attracted workers minority-rights activists and intellectuals with promisesto end economic and racial injustice Althoughboth socialism and communism had significantinfluence neither became a major political forcein the United States

DUST BOWLDURING THE 1930s dust storms ravaged the GreatPlains This area was labeled the ldquoDust Bowlrdquo Duststorms dubbed ldquodustersrdquo or ldquoblack blizzardsrdquo sweptacross the region darkening the sky and buryingfences fields and even houses and barns

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

RELIEF

New Deal programs finally brought relief to victims of the Dust Bowl In addition to helping migrants thefederal government taught farmers in the Dust Bowl new conservation measures to preserve their land Rains

Support for Franklin D Rooseveltrsquos efforts to end the Great Depression was far fromunanimous Many wealthy and conservative people attacked the presidentrsquos ldquoradicalrdquopolicies A political cartoon of the 1930s showed a boy writing the word ROOSEVELT onthe sidewalk in front of his rich familyrsquos house His sister calls out ldquoMother Wilfredwrote a bad wordrdquo

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

the economy Although the Liberty League didnot win widespread support its existence con-vinced FDR that big business was against him

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

Help for Those in NeedBefore the Second New

Deal America was theonly advanced industrialnation without a nationalgovernment program tohelp the needy In August1935 Congress passed theSocial Security Act

The Social Security Act created a tax onworkers and employers That money providedmonthly pensions for retired people Anothertax on employers alone funded unemploy-ment insurance payments to people who losttheir jobs In addition Social Security helpedpeople with disabilities the elderly poor andchildren of parents who could not support them

With the Social Security Act the federal gov-ernment took responsibility for the welfare ofall citizens It launched the American welfaresystem

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

Suddenly in October 1929 everythingchanged Almost overnight the value of stocksplunged Millionaires lost fortunes and thou-sands of less wealthy investors lost their sav-ings The United States was about to enter itsworst domestic crisis since the Civil War

The BoomA stock exchange is an organized system for

buying and selling shares or blocks of invest-ments in corporations In the late 1920s thevalue of stocks on the New York Stock Exchangeclimbed to dizzying heights reaching recordlevels in September 1929

Because many investors lacked the money to continue purchasing stock they bought onmargin This means they paid only a fraction ofthe stock price and borrowed the rest from theirbrokers Brokers in turn borrowed their moneyfrom banks As long as the value of stocks con-tinued to rise the buyer could sell later payback what had been borrowed and make aprofit If that value fell though investors andbrokers would not have enough cash to pay offthe loans

The CrashFearing that the boom market would end

some investors began selling their stocks in lateSeptember These sales made stock prices fallBrokers began to demand repayment of loansforcing investors who had bought on margin tosell their stock

Prices declined steadily until October 21 butmost financial experts thought the market wasexperiencing nothing more than a ldquoperiod ofreadjustmentrdquo Then for three straight daysstock prices plunged as investors sold millions ofshares each day Panicked traders sold almost 13million shares on October 24 a day that becameknown as ldquoBlack Thursdayrdquo

Following a few days of calm the decline andconfusion continued on Monday On TuesdayOctober 29 the crisis worsened By the end ofthe day more than 16 million shares hadchanged hands and stock prices had plum-meted Journalist Jonathan Norton Leonarddescribed the scene

ldquoThe selling pressure was coming fromeverywhere The wires to other cities werejammed with frantic orders to sell So were thecables radio and telephones to Europe and therest of the world Buyers were few sometimeswholly absentrdquo

The New York Stock Exchange closed for afew days to prevent more panic selling Shockspread across the country

CHAPTER 25 The Depression and FDR726

While the stock market crash shook peoplersquosconfidence in the economy it did not cause theDepression Other factors working togethersent the economy into a long tailspin

An Unbalanced EconomyThe problems that led to the Great Depression

began to give out warning signals in the early1920s Farm income shrank throughout thedecade Industries also declined In the monthsbefore the stock market crash the automobileand construction industries suffered from lag-ging orders As a result employers cut wagesand laid off workers With their incomesslashed many Americans could no longer affordthe consumer goods that the nationrsquos industrieshad been churning out

Another factor that fueled the Depression wasthe growing gap in wealth between rich peopleand most Americans The prosperity of the1920s did not help all Americans equally In 1929less than 1 percent of the population ownednearly one-third of the countryrsquos wealth At thesame time about 75 percent of American fami-lies lived in poverty or on the very edge of it

Credit CrisisBorrowed money fueled much of the economy

in the 1920s Farmers bought land equipmentand supplies on credit Consumers used credit tobuy cars Investors borrowed to buy stocksMany small banks suffered when farmersdefaulted or failed to meet loan paymentsLarge banks which had bought stocks as aninvestment suffered huge losses in the stock

market crash These losses forced thousands ofbanks across the nation to close between 1930and 1933 millions of depositors lost their money

International DepressionWeaknesses in the American economy also

sapped the strength of foreign economies Euro-pean countries needed to borrow money fromAmerican banks and to sell goods to Americanconsumers in order to repay their World War Idebts to the United States During the late 1920sbank funds for loans dried up Internationaltrade slowed down because without Americanloans other nations had less money to spend

Joblessness and PovertyAs the Depression tightened its grip on the

United States millions lost their jobs In 1932 25percent of American workers were out of workThe unemployment rate remained near 20 per-cent throughout the decade Industrial cities werehardest hit Workers who managed to keep theirjobs worked only part-time or for reduced wages

The newly unemployed felt devastated NewYorker Sidney Lens who lost his job wroteabout developing

ldquoa feeling of worthlessnessmdashand loneliness I began to think of myself as a freak and misfitrdquo

Long lines of hungry people snaked throughthe streets of the nationrsquos cities They waited forhours to receive a slice of bread a cup of coffeeor a bowl of soup from soup kitchens run bylocal governments or charities

Unemployed people tried to earn a few centsby shining shoes or selling apples on street cor-ners Those who had lost their homes built shel-ters out of old boxes and other debrissometimes grouped together in pitiful ldquoshanty-townsrdquo Some referred bitterly to the shanty-towns as Hoovervilles because of PresidentHooverrsquos failure to act Across the countryAmericans wondered why the president didnothing to end the suffering (See page 974 of the

Primary Sources Library for one account of life during the Depression)

Describing What percentage ofAmerican workers were out of work in 1932

Hoover and the CrisisPresident Hoover thought the economic cri-

sis was only temporary and that prosperity wasldquojust around the cornerrdquo He also believed thatthe ldquodepression cannot be cured by legislativeaction or executive pronouncementrdquo Instead

Hoover called on business leaders not to cutwages or production of goods and on charitiesto do their best for the needy Voluntary actionby private citizens and local governmentsHoover said would pull the nation throughtough times

Charities churches and volunteers workedheroically to provide reliefmdashaid for the needy So did state and local governments Some citieswithheld part of city workersrsquo wagesmdashalreadyreducedmdashto fund soup kitchens But the numberwho needed help was simply overwhelming

Government ActionEventually Hoover recognized that the federal

government had to take steps to combat theDepression In 1931 he authorized additional fed-eral spending on public worksmdashprojects such ashighways parks and librariesmdashto create newjobs State and local governments ran out ofmoney however and the combined spending byall three levels of government declined

EconomicsJobs and Relief

Roosevelt gave high priority to creating jobsHe planned to help the unemployed with workrelief programs giving needy people govern-ment jobs During his first month in office FDRasked Congress to create the Civilian Conserva-tion Corps (CCC) Over the next 10 years theCCC employed about 3 million young men towork on projects that benefited the publicplanting trees to reforest areas building leveesfor flood control and improving national parks

Roosevelt made aid to the poor and sufferinganother priority FDR established the FederalEmergency Relief Administration (FERA) togive money to the states for use in helping peo-ple in need Roosevelt appointed Harry Hop-kins a New York social worker to lead theFERA Hopkins became one of FDRrsquos closestadvisers and got involved in several other NewDeal programs

Roosevelt did not forget agriculture On May12 Congress passed the Agricultural Adjust-ment Act (AAA) The act had two goals toraise farm prices quickly and to control pro-duction so that farm prices would stay up overthe long term

$

In the AAArsquos first year though the supply offood outstripped demand The AAA could raiseprices only by paying farmers to destroy cropsmilk and livestock To many it seemed shockingto throw food away when millions of peoplewent hungry The New Dealers claimed theaction was necessary to bring prices up

To control production and farm prices theAAA paid farmers to leave some of their landuncultivated If market prices of key farm prod-ucts such as wheat and cotton fell below a cer-tain level the AAA would pay farmerssubsidiesmdashgrants of moneymdashto make up thedifference In the first three years of the NewDeal farmersrsquo incomes rose by about 50 percentThe Supreme Court ruled that the AAA wasunconstitutional in United States v Butler (1936)for invading the reserved powers of the states

the Hundred Days was the Tennessee ValleyAuthority (TVA) The TVA aimed to control flood-ing promote conservation and development andbring electricity to rural areas along the TennesseeRiver By building new dams and improving oth-ers the TVA ended the regionrsquos disastrous floodsAnd with hydroelectric powergenerating affordable electricitythousands of farms and homes insome Southern states were wiredfor electricity for the first time

PWA projectsmdashsuch as New York Cityrsquos LincolnTunnel and Kentuckyrsquos Fort Knoxmdashstill stand ThePWA spent its funds slowly though and did nothave much immediate impact on unemployment

To avoid future banking crises Rooseveltcalled for reform of the nationrsquos financial systemCongress established the Federal Deposit Insur-ance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank depositsThe government guaranteed that money placedin a bank insured by the FDIC would not be lostif the bank failed

Congress also passed a law regulating the saleof stocks and bonds and created the Securitiesand Exchange Commission (SEC) This 1934law gave the SEC the power to punish dishoneststockbrokers and speculators

Using new technology such as tractorsand disc plows farmers had cleared mil-lions of acres of sod for wheat farming Theydid not realize that the roots of the grass hadheld the soil in place When a severedrought struck in 1931 crops died and thesoil dried out Strong prairie winds simplyblew the soil away

Each storm stripped away more soil Onestorm in 1934 carried about 300 million tons ofsoil depositing some of it on ships 300 milesout in the Atlantic Ocean The droughtmdashandthe stormsmdashcontinued for years

People called the storms ldquoblack bliz-zardsrdquo A Texas boy wrote

ldquoThese storms were like rolling black smokeWe had to keep the lights on all day We wentto school with headlights on and with dustmasks onrdquo

Thousands of Dust Bowl farmers went bank-rupt and had to give up their farms About400000 farmers migrated to California andbecame migrant workers moving from place toplace to harvest fruits and vegetables So manycame from Oklahoma that people called themldquoOkiesrdquo One observer described their arrival

ldquoThey came in decrepit [broken-down]square-shouldered [cars] that looked likerelics of some antique culture piled highwith mattresses and cooking utensils and chil-dren with suitcases jugs and sacks strapped tothe running boardsrdquo

Explaining Where did many families move to escape the Dust Bowl

The Plight of MinoritiesThe Depression fell especially hard on the

minority groups who were already on the lowerrungs of the American economic ladder Thesegroups included African Americans NativeAmericans and Hispanic Americans

African AmericansIn the South more than half of the African

American population had no jobs African Amer-icans who lived and worked in Southern citiesfound their jobs taken by white people who hadlost theirs The collapse of farm prices crushedAfrican American farmers

Seeking more opportunity about 400000African American men women and childrenmigrated to Northern cities during the decade ofthe 1930s These migrants did not fare much bet-ter there however The jobless rate for AfricanAmericans remained high

African Americans did make some politicalgains during the Depression President Roose-velt appointed a number of African Americansto federal posts He had a group of advisersknown as the Black Cabinet that includedRobert Weaver a college professor and RalphBunche who worked for the State DepartmentMary McLeod Bethune who establishedBethune-Cookman College in Florida alsoserved as an adviser

African Americans continued to fight againstprejudice In 1939 opera singer Marian Ander-son was denied permission to sing in Constitu-tion Hall because she was black Mrs Roosevelthelped arrange for Anderson to give a historicconcert at the Lincoln Memorial

Native AmericansThe 1930s did bring some benefits to Native

Americans The new head of the Bureau ofIndian Affairs John Collier introduced a set ofreforms known as the Indian New Deal

Collier halted the sale of reservation land gotjobs for 77000 Native Americans in the CivilianConservation Corps and obtained Public WorksAdministration funds to build new reservationschools Most important he pushed Congress topass the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934This law restored traditional tribal governmentand provided money for land purchases toenlarge some reservations

Hispanic AmericansAt the beginning of the 1930s about two

million people of Hispanic descent lived in theUnited States mostly in California and theSouthwest Many had emigrated from MexicoThey worked as farmers migrant workers andlaborers As the Great Depression deepenedresentment against Mexican Americans grewMany lost their jobs Politicians and laborunions demanded that Mexican Americans beforced to leave the United States

The government encouraged Mexican immi-grants to return to Mexico Authorities gavethem one-way train tickets to Mexico or simplyrounded them up and shipped them southacross the border More than 500000 MexicanAmericans left the United States during the earlyyears of the Depression often involuntarily

Explaining What was the purposeof the Indian Reorganization Act

Radical Political MovementsHard times helped radical political groups

gain ground in the United States during the1930s Radical groups advocate extreme andimmediate change Socialists and Communistsviewed the Depression not as a temporary eco-nomic problem but as the death of a failed sys-tem They proposed sweeping changes

Communism attracted workers minority-rights activists and intellectuals with promisesto end economic and racial injustice Althoughboth socialism and communism had significantinfluence neither became a major political forcein the United States

Another political development that caughtthe attention of many Americans was the rise offascists in Germany and Italy Fascism is a polit-ical philosophy that holds the individual sec-ond to the nation and advocates government bydictatorship In 1936 the Spanish Civil Warbegan Germany and Italy supported fascistswho were trying to take over the Spanish gov-ernment Although the United States remainedneutral more than 3000 Americans went toSpain to fight the fascists

Explaining What is fascism

Entertainment and the ArtsThe Depression produced two separate

trends in entertainment and the arts One wasescapismmdashlight or romantic entertainment thathelped people forget about their problems Theother was social criticismmdashportraits of the injus-tice and suffering of Depression America

Radio became enormously popular during the1930s Daytime dramas sponsored by laundrydetergents earned the nickname ldquosoap operasrdquoAdventure programs such as Dick Tracy The LoneRanger and Superman had millions of listeners asdid variety shows featuring comedians GeorgeBurns Gracie Allen and Jack Benny

DUST BOWLDURING THE 1930s dust storms ravaged the GreatPlains This area was labeled the ldquoDust Bowlrdquo Duststorms dubbed ldquodustersrdquo or ldquoblack blizzardsrdquo sweptacross the region darkening the sky and buryingfences fields and even houses and barns

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

RELIEF

New Deal programs finally brought relief to victims of the Dust Bowl In addition to helping migrants thefederal government taught farmers in the Dust Bowl new conservation measures to preserve their land Rains

eventually fell but true prosperity did not returnto America until factories geared up productionfor World War II

Support for Franklin D Rooseveltrsquos efforts to end the Great Depression was far fromunanimous Many wealthy and conservative people attacked the presidentrsquos ldquoradicalrdquopolicies A political cartoon of the 1930s showed a boy writing the word ROOSEVELT onthe sidewalk in front of his rich familyrsquos house His sister calls out ldquoMother Wilfredwrote a bad wordrdquo

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

the economy Although the Liberty League didnot win widespread support its existence con-vinced FDR that big business was against him

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

The WPA also found work for unemployedwriters artists and musicians WPA paintersdecorated the new public buildings withmurals Writers and photographers documentedlife throughout America The writers producedLife in America 150 volumes that recorded folk-tales and songs African American narrativesand Native American traditions

744 CHAPTER 25 The Depression and FDR

Help for Those in NeedBefore the Second New

Deal America was theonly advanced industrialnation without a nationalgovernment program tohelp the needy In August1935 Congress passed theSocial Security Act

The Social Security Act created a tax onworkers and employers That money providedmonthly pensions for retired people Anothertax on employers alone funded unemploy-ment insurance payments to people who losttheir jobs In addition Social Security helpedpeople with disabilities the elderly poor andchildren of parents who could not support them

With the Social Security Act the federal gov-ernment took responsibility for the welfare ofall citizens It launched the American welfaresystem

Explaining How did the govern-ment raise money for Social Security

The Labor MovementLabor unions grew stronger as workers battled

the Depression In 1937 workers at the GeneralMotors plant in Flint Michigan used a new

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

Rooseveltrsquos ldquoCourt-Packingrdquo PlanSoon after his reelection FDR took action to

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The

unpopularity of the court-packing plan how-ever cost Roosevelt a great deal of support andtriggered a split in the Democratic Party

had nearly returned to its 1929 level Believingthat the Depression was finally over Roosevelttried to reduce the governmentrsquos debt by cuttingspending on relief and job programs

CHAPTER 25 The Depression and FDR726

While the stock market crash shook peoplersquosconfidence in the economy it did not cause theDepression Other factors working togethersent the economy into a long tailspin

An Unbalanced EconomyThe problems that led to the Great Depression

began to give out warning signals in the early1920s Farm income shrank throughout thedecade Industries also declined In the monthsbefore the stock market crash the automobileand construction industries suffered from lag-ging orders As a result employers cut wagesand laid off workers With their incomesslashed many Americans could no longer affordthe consumer goods that the nationrsquos industrieshad been churning out

Another factor that fueled the Depression wasthe growing gap in wealth between rich peopleand most Americans The prosperity of the1920s did not help all Americans equally In 1929less than 1 percent of the population ownednearly one-third of the countryrsquos wealth At thesame time about 75 percent of American fami-lies lived in poverty or on the very edge of it

Credit CrisisBorrowed money fueled much of the economy

in the 1920s Farmers bought land equipmentand supplies on credit Consumers used credit tobuy cars Investors borrowed to buy stocksMany small banks suffered when farmersdefaulted or failed to meet loan paymentsLarge banks which had bought stocks as aninvestment suffered huge losses in the stock

market crash These losses forced thousands ofbanks across the nation to close between 1930and 1933 millions of depositors lost their money

International DepressionWeaknesses in the American economy also

sapped the strength of foreign economies Euro-pean countries needed to borrow money fromAmerican banks and to sell goods to Americanconsumers in order to repay their World War Idebts to the United States During the late 1920sbank funds for loans dried up Internationaltrade slowed down because without Americanloans other nations had less money to spend

Joblessness and PovertyAs the Depression tightened its grip on the

United States millions lost their jobs In 1932 25percent of American workers were out of workThe unemployment rate remained near 20 per-cent throughout the decade Industrial cities werehardest hit Workers who managed to keep theirjobs worked only part-time or for reduced wages

The newly unemployed felt devastated NewYorker Sidney Lens who lost his job wroteabout developing

ldquoa feeling of worthlessnessmdashand loneliness I began to think of myself as a freak and misfitrdquo

Long lines of hungry people snaked throughthe streets of the nationrsquos cities They waited forhours to receive a slice of bread a cup of coffeeor a bowl of soup from soup kitchens run bylocal governments or charities

Unemployed people tried to earn a few centsby shining shoes or selling apples on street cor-ners Those who had lost their homes built shel-ters out of old boxes and other debrissometimes grouped together in pitiful ldquoshanty-townsrdquo Some referred bitterly to the shanty-towns as Hoovervilles because of PresidentHooverrsquos failure to act Across the countryAmericans wondered why the president didnothing to end the suffering (See page 974 of the

Primary Sources Library for one account of life during the Depression)

Describing What percentage ofAmerican workers were out of work in 1932

Hoover and the CrisisPresident Hoover thought the economic cri-

sis was only temporary and that prosperity wasldquojust around the cornerrdquo He also believed thatthe ldquodepression cannot be cured by legislativeaction or executive pronouncementrdquo Instead

Hoover called on business leaders not to cutwages or production of goods and on charitiesto do their best for the needy Voluntary actionby private citizens and local governmentsHoover said would pull the nation throughtough times

Charities churches and volunteers workedheroically to provide reliefmdashaid for the needy So did state and local governments Some citieswithheld part of city workersrsquo wagesmdashalreadyreducedmdashto fund soup kitchens But the numberwho needed help was simply overwhelming

Government ActionEventually Hoover recognized that the federal

government had to take steps to combat theDepression In 1931 he authorized additional fed-eral spending on public worksmdashprojects such ashighways parks and librariesmdashto create newjobs State and local governments ran out ofmoney however and the combined spending byall three levels of government declined

ldquoIn March 1933 the New Deal was not aplan It was a happy phrase [FDR] hadcoined during the campaign It made peoplefeel better and in that terrible period of depres-sion they needed to feel betterrdquo

EconomicsJobs and Relief

Roosevelt gave high priority to creating jobsHe planned to help the unemployed with workrelief programs giving needy people govern-ment jobs During his first month in office FDRasked Congress to create the Civilian Conserva-tion Corps (CCC) Over the next 10 years theCCC employed about 3 million young men towork on projects that benefited the publicplanting trees to reforest areas building leveesfor flood control and improving national parks

Roosevelt made aid to the poor and sufferinganother priority FDR established the FederalEmergency Relief Administration (FERA) togive money to the states for use in helping peo-ple in need Roosevelt appointed Harry Hop-kins a New York social worker to lead theFERA Hopkins became one of FDRrsquos closestadvisers and got involved in several other NewDeal programs

Roosevelt did not forget agriculture On May12 Congress passed the Agricultural Adjust-ment Act (AAA) The act had two goals toraise farm prices quickly and to control pro-duction so that farm prices would stay up overthe long term

$

In the AAArsquos first year though the supply offood outstripped demand The AAA could raiseprices only by paying farmers to destroy cropsmilk and livestock To many it seemed shockingto throw food away when millions of peoplewent hungry The New Dealers claimed theaction was necessary to bring prices up

To control production and farm prices theAAA paid farmers to leave some of their landuncultivated If market prices of key farm prod-ucts such as wheat and cotton fell below a cer-tain level the AAA would pay farmerssubsidiesmdashgrants of moneymdashto make up thedifference In the first three years of the NewDeal farmersrsquo incomes rose by about 50 percentThe Supreme Court ruled that the AAA wasunconstitutional in United States v Butler (1936)for invading the reserved powers of the states

the Hundred Days was the Tennessee ValleyAuthority (TVA) The TVA aimed to control flood-ing promote conservation and development andbring electricity to rural areas along the TennesseeRiver By building new dams and improving oth-ers the TVA ended the regionrsquos disastrous floodsAnd with hydroelectric powergenerating affordable electricitythousands of farms and homes insome Southern states were wiredfor electricity for the first time

PWA projectsmdashsuch as New York Cityrsquos LincolnTunnel and Kentuckyrsquos Fort Knoxmdashstill stand ThePWA spent its funds slowly though and did nothave much immediate impact on unemployment

To avoid future banking crises Rooseveltcalled for reform of the nationrsquos financial systemCongress established the Federal Deposit Insur-ance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank depositsThe government guaranteed that money placedin a bank insured by the FDIC would not be lostif the bank failed

Congress also passed a law regulating the saleof stocks and bonds and created the Securitiesand Exchange Commission (SEC) This 1934law gave the SEC the power to punish dishoneststockbrokers and speculators

GeographyWhat Caused the Dust Bowl

Using new technology such as tractorsand disc plows farmers had cleared mil-lions of acres of sod for wheat farming Theydid not realize that the roots of the grass hadheld the soil in place When a severedrought struck in 1931 crops died and thesoil dried out Strong prairie winds simplyblew the soil away

Each storm stripped away more soil Onestorm in 1934 carried about 300 million tons ofsoil depositing some of it on ships 300 milesout in the Atlantic Ocean The droughtmdashandthe stormsmdashcontinued for years

People called the storms ldquoblack bliz-zardsrdquo A Texas boy wrote

ldquoThese storms were like rolling black smokeWe had to keep the lights on all day We wentto school with headlights on and with dustmasks onrdquo

Thousands of Dust Bowl farmers went bank-rupt and had to give up their farms About400000 farmers migrated to California andbecame migrant workers moving from place toplace to harvest fruits and vegetables So manycame from Oklahoma that people called themldquoOkiesrdquo One observer described their arrival

ldquoThey came in decrepit [broken-down]square-shouldered [cars] that looked likerelics of some antique culture piled highwith mattresses and cooking utensils and chil-dren with suitcases jugs and sacks strapped tothe running boardsrdquo

Explaining Where did many families move to escape the Dust Bowl

The Plight of MinoritiesThe Depression fell especially hard on the

minority groups who were already on the lowerrungs of the American economic ladder Thesegroups included African Americans NativeAmericans and Hispanic Americans

African AmericansIn the South more than half of the African

American population had no jobs African Amer-icans who lived and worked in Southern citiesfound their jobs taken by white people who hadlost theirs The collapse of farm prices crushedAfrican American farmers

Seeking more opportunity about 400000African American men women and childrenmigrated to Northern cities during the decade ofthe 1930s These migrants did not fare much bet-ter there however The jobless rate for AfricanAmericans remained high

African Americans did make some politicalgains during the Depression President Roose-velt appointed a number of African Americansto federal posts He had a group of advisersknown as the Black Cabinet that includedRobert Weaver a college professor and RalphBunche who worked for the State DepartmentMary McLeod Bethune who establishedBethune-Cookman College in Florida alsoserved as an adviser

African Americans continued to fight againstprejudice In 1939 opera singer Marian Ander-son was denied permission to sing in Constitu-tion Hall because she was black Mrs Roosevelthelped arrange for Anderson to give a historicconcert at the Lincoln Memorial

Native AmericansThe 1930s did bring some benefits to Native

Americans The new head of the Bureau ofIndian Affairs John Collier introduced a set ofreforms known as the Indian New Deal

Collier halted the sale of reservation land gotjobs for 77000 Native Americans in the CivilianConservation Corps and obtained Public WorksAdministration funds to build new reservationschools Most important he pushed Congress topass the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934This law restored traditional tribal governmentand provided money for land purchases toenlarge some reservations

Hispanic AmericansAt the beginning of the 1930s about two

million people of Hispanic descent lived in theUnited States mostly in California and theSouthwest Many had emigrated from MexicoThey worked as farmers migrant workers andlaborers As the Great Depression deepenedresentment against Mexican Americans grewMany lost their jobs Politicians and laborunions demanded that Mexican Americans beforced to leave the United States

The government encouraged Mexican immi-grants to return to Mexico Authorities gavethem one-way train tickets to Mexico or simplyrounded them up and shipped them southacross the border More than 500000 MexicanAmericans left the United States during the earlyyears of the Depression often involuntarily

Explaining What was the purposeof the Indian Reorganization Act

Radical Political MovementsHard times helped radical political groups

gain ground in the United States during the1930s Radical groups advocate extreme andimmediate change Socialists and Communistsviewed the Depression not as a temporary eco-nomic problem but as the death of a failed sys-tem They proposed sweeping changes

Communism attracted workers minority-rights activists and intellectuals with promisesto end economic and racial injustice Althoughboth socialism and communism had significantinfluence neither became a major political forcein the United States

DUST BOWLDURING THE 1930s dust storms ravaged the GreatPlains This area was labeled the ldquoDust Bowlrdquo Duststorms dubbed ldquodustersrdquo or ldquoblack blizzardsrdquo sweptacross the region darkening the sky and buryingfences fields and even houses and barns

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

RELIEF

New Deal programs finally brought relief to victims of the Dust Bowl In addition to helping migrants thefederal government taught farmers in the Dust Bowl new conservation measures to preserve their land Rains

Support for Franklin D Rooseveltrsquos efforts to end the Great Depression was far fromunanimous Many wealthy and conservative people attacked the presidentrsquos ldquoradicalrdquopolicies A political cartoon of the 1930s showed a boy writing the word ROOSEVELT onthe sidewalk in front of his rich familyrsquos house His sister calls out ldquoMother Wilfredwrote a bad wordrdquo

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

the economy Although the Liberty League didnot win widespread support its existence con-vinced FDR that big business was against him

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

The WPA also found work for unemployedwriters artists and musicians WPA paintersdecorated the new public buildings withmurals Writers and photographers documentedlife throughout America The writers producedLife in America 150 volumes that recorded folk-tales and songs African American narrativesand Native American traditions

Help for Those in NeedBefore the Second New

Deal America was theonly advanced industrialnation without a nationalgovernment program tohelp the needy In August1935 Congress passed theSocial Security Act

The Social Security Act created a tax onworkers and employers That money providedmonthly pensions for retired people Anothertax on employers alone funded unemploy-ment insurance payments to people who losttheir jobs In addition Social Security helpedpeople with disabilities the elderly poor andchildren of parents who could not support them

With the Social Security Act the federal gov-ernment took responsibility for the welfare ofall citizens It launched the American welfaresystem

Explaining How did the govern-ment raise money for Social Security

The Labor MovementLabor unions grew stronger as workers battled

the Depression In 1937 workers at the GeneralMotors plant in Flint Michigan used a new

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

Rooseveltrsquos ldquoCourt-Packingrdquo PlanSoon after his reelection FDR took action to

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The

unpopularity of the court-packing plan how-ever cost Roosevelt a great deal of support andtriggered a split in the Democratic Party

had nearly returned to its 1929 level Believingthat the Depression was finally over Roosevelttried to reduce the governmentrsquos debt by cuttingspending on relief and job programs

725CHAPTER 25 The Depression and FDR

Suddenly in October 1929 everythingchanged Almost overnight the value of stocksplunged Millionaires lost fortunes and thou-sands of less wealthy investors lost their sav-ings The United States was about to enter itsworst domestic crisis since the Civil War

The BoomA stock exchange is an organized system for

buying and selling shares or blocks of invest-ments in corporations In the late 1920s thevalue of stocks on the New York Stock Exchangeclimbed to dizzying heights reaching recordlevels in September 1929

Because many investors lacked the money to continue purchasing stock they bought onmargin This means they paid only a fraction ofthe stock price and borrowed the rest from theirbrokers Brokers in turn borrowed their moneyfrom banks As long as the value of stocks con-tinued to rise the buyer could sell later payback what had been borrowed and make aprofit If that value fell though investors andbrokers would not have enough cash to pay offthe loans

The CrashFearing that the boom market would end

some investors began selling their stocks in lateSeptember These sales made stock prices fallBrokers began to demand repayment of loansforcing investors who had bought on margin tosell their stock

Prices declined steadily until October 21 butmost financial experts thought the market wasexperiencing nothing more than a ldquoperiod ofreadjustmentrdquo Then for three straight daysstock prices plunged as investors sold millions ofshares each day Panicked traders sold almost 13million shares on October 24 a day that becameknown as ldquoBlack Thursdayrdquo

Following a few days of calm the decline andconfusion continued on Monday On TuesdayOctober 29 the crisis worsened By the end ofthe day more than 16 million shares hadchanged hands and stock prices had plum-meted Journalist Jonathan Norton Leonarddescribed the scene

ldquoThe selling pressure was coming fromeverywhere The wires to other cities werejammed with frantic orders to sell So were thecables radio and telephones to Europe and therest of the world Buyers were few sometimeswholly absentrdquo

The New York Stock Exchange closed for afew days to prevent more panic selling Shockspread across the country

CHAPTER 25 The Depression and FDR726

While the stock market crash shook peoplersquosconfidence in the economy it did not cause theDepression Other factors working togethersent the economy into a long tailspin

An Unbalanced EconomyThe problems that led to the Great Depression

began to give out warning signals in the early1920s Farm income shrank throughout thedecade Industries also declined In the monthsbefore the stock market crash the automobileand construction industries suffered from lag-ging orders As a result employers cut wagesand laid off workers With their incomesslashed many Americans could no longer affordthe consumer goods that the nationrsquos industrieshad been churning out

Another factor that fueled the Depression wasthe growing gap in wealth between rich peopleand most Americans The prosperity of the1920s did not help all Americans equally In 1929less than 1 percent of the population ownednearly one-third of the countryrsquos wealth At thesame time about 75 percent of American fami-lies lived in poverty or on the very edge of it

Credit CrisisBorrowed money fueled much of the economy

in the 1920s Farmers bought land equipmentand supplies on credit Consumers used credit tobuy cars Investors borrowed to buy stocksMany small banks suffered when farmersdefaulted or failed to meet loan paymentsLarge banks which had bought stocks as aninvestment suffered huge losses in the stock

market crash These losses forced thousands ofbanks across the nation to close between 1930and 1933 millions of depositors lost their money

International DepressionWeaknesses in the American economy also

sapped the strength of foreign economies Euro-pean countries needed to borrow money fromAmerican banks and to sell goods to Americanconsumers in order to repay their World War Idebts to the United States During the late 1920sbank funds for loans dried up Internationaltrade slowed down because without Americanloans other nations had less money to spend

Joblessness and PovertyAs the Depression tightened its grip on the

United States millions lost their jobs In 1932 25percent of American workers were out of workThe unemployment rate remained near 20 per-cent throughout the decade Industrial cities werehardest hit Workers who managed to keep theirjobs worked only part-time or for reduced wages

The newly unemployed felt devastated NewYorker Sidney Lens who lost his job wroteabout developing

ldquoa feeling of worthlessnessmdashand loneliness I began to think of myself as a freak and misfitrdquo

Long lines of hungry people snaked throughthe streets of the nationrsquos cities They waited forhours to receive a slice of bread a cup of coffeeor a bowl of soup from soup kitchens run bylocal governments or charities

Unemployed people tried to earn a few centsby shining shoes or selling apples on street cor-ners Those who had lost their homes built shel-ters out of old boxes and other debrissometimes grouped together in pitiful ldquoshanty-townsrdquo Some referred bitterly to the shanty-towns as Hoovervilles because of PresidentHooverrsquos failure to act Across the countryAmericans wondered why the president didnothing to end the suffering (See page 974 of the

Primary Sources Library for one account of life during the Depression)

Describing What percentage ofAmerican workers were out of work in 1932

Hoover and the CrisisPresident Hoover thought the economic cri-

sis was only temporary and that prosperity wasldquojust around the cornerrdquo He also believed thatthe ldquodepression cannot be cured by legislativeaction or executive pronouncementrdquo Instead

Hoover called on business leaders not to cutwages or production of goods and on charitiesto do their best for the needy Voluntary actionby private citizens and local governmentsHoover said would pull the nation throughtough times

Charities churches and volunteers workedheroically to provide reliefmdashaid for the needy So did state and local governments Some citieswithheld part of city workersrsquo wagesmdashalreadyreducedmdashto fund soup kitchens But the numberwho needed help was simply overwhelming

Government ActionEventually Hoover recognized that the federal

government had to take steps to combat theDepression In 1931 he authorized additional fed-eral spending on public worksmdashprojects such ashighways parks and librariesmdashto create newjobs State and local governments ran out ofmoney however and the combined spending byall three levels of government declined

The New Deal Takes ShapeThe new laws that Congress passed during

the Hundred Daysmdashand in the months andyears that followedmdashcame to be called the NewDeal New Deal laws and regulations affectedbanking the stock market industry agriculturepublic works relief for the poor and conserva-tion of resources These laws changed the face ofAmerica dramatically

Frances Perkins Rooseveltrsquos secretary oflabor later recalled those early exciting days ofthe New Deal

ldquoIn March 1933 the New Deal was not aplan It was a happy phrase [FDR] hadcoined during the campaign It made peoplefeel better and in that terrible period of depres-sion they needed to feel betterrdquo

EconomicsJobs and Relief

Roosevelt gave high priority to creating jobsHe planned to help the unemployed with workrelief programs giving needy people govern-ment jobs During his first month in office FDRasked Congress to create the Civilian Conserva-tion Corps (CCC) Over the next 10 years theCCC employed about 3 million young men towork on projects that benefited the publicplanting trees to reforest areas building leveesfor flood control and improving national parks

Roosevelt made aid to the poor and sufferinganother priority FDR established the FederalEmergency Relief Administration (FERA) togive money to the states for use in helping peo-ple in need Roosevelt appointed Harry Hop-kins a New York social worker to lead theFERA Hopkins became one of FDRrsquos closestadvisers and got involved in several other NewDeal programs

Roosevelt did not forget agriculture On May12 Congress passed the Agricultural Adjust-ment Act (AAA) The act had two goals toraise farm prices quickly and to control pro-duction so that farm prices would stay up overthe long term

$

In the AAArsquos first year though the supply offood outstripped demand The AAA could raiseprices only by paying farmers to destroy cropsmilk and livestock To many it seemed shockingto throw food away when millions of peoplewent hungry The New Dealers claimed theaction was necessary to bring prices up

To control production and farm prices theAAA paid farmers to leave some of their landuncultivated If market prices of key farm prod-ucts such as wheat and cotton fell below a cer-tain level the AAA would pay farmerssubsidiesmdashgrants of moneymdashto make up thedifference In the first three years of the NewDeal farmersrsquo incomes rose by about 50 percentThe Supreme Court ruled that the AAA wasunconstitutional in United States v Butler (1936)for invading the reserved powers of the states

Rebuilding a RegionOne of the boldest programs launched during

the Hundred Days was the Tennessee ValleyAuthority (TVA) The TVA aimed to control flood-ing promote conservation and development andbring electricity to rural areas along the TennesseeRiver By building new dams and improving oth-ers the TVA ended the regionrsquos disastrous floodsAnd with hydroelectric powergenerating affordable electricitythousands of farms and homes insome Southern states were wiredfor electricity for the first time

Some critics charged thatfunds for the TVA should be usedto support programs nation-wide Power companiesalso attacked the programas unfair and communis-tic When the spring rainscame in 1937 however thesystem workedmdashthe damsprevented the TennesseeRiver from flooding Inthe end most observersagreed that the TVAwas an example ofsuccessful social andeconomic planning

Helping Business and LaborOn the last day of the Hundred Days Congress

passed the National Industrial Recovery Act(NIRA) which Roosevelt called ldquothe most impor-tant and far-reaching legislationrdquo ever passed inthe United States The NIRA aimed to boost theeconomy by helping business regulate itself

The NIRA crea ted the National RecoveryAdministration (NRA)which encouraged busi-nesses to set a minimumwage and abolish childlabor In addition theNRA tried to set upcodes governing pricingand other practices forevery industry HughJohnson a former generalnamed to head the NRA launched a campaignto promote the agency Before long the agencyrsquosblue eagle symbol and sloganmdashldquoWe Do OurPartrdquomdashappeared everywhere

Another program that the NIRA launched wasthe Public Works Administration (PWA) Its goalwas to stimulate the economy through the build-ing of huge public works projects that neededlarge numbers of workers The agency employedpeople to work on the construction of roads ship-yards hospitals city halls and schools Many

PWA projectsmdashsuch as New York Cityrsquos LincolnTunnel and Kentuckyrsquos Fort Knoxmdashstill stand ThePWA spent its funds slowly though and did nothave much immediate impact on unemployment

To avoid future banking crises Rooseveltcalled for reform of the nationrsquos financial systemCongress established the Federal Deposit Insur-ance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank depositsThe government guaranteed that money placedin a bank insured by the FDIC would not be lostif the bank failed

Congress also passed a law regulating the saleof stocks and bonds and created the Securitiesand Exchange Commission (SEC) This 1934law gave the SEC the power to punish dishoneststockbrokers and speculators

Assessing the Early New DealThe New Deal did not cure the nationrsquos ills

The Depression dragged on bringing continuedhardship Farmers continued to lose their landUnemployment remained at high levels Manypeople still struggled to survive and to makeends meet

GeographyWhat Caused the Dust Bowl

Using new technology such as tractorsand disc plows farmers had cleared mil-lions of acres of sod for wheat farming Theydid not realize that the roots of the grass hadheld the soil in place When a severedrought struck in 1931 crops died and thesoil dried out Strong prairie winds simplyblew the soil away

Each storm stripped away more soil Onestorm in 1934 carried about 300 million tons ofsoil depositing some of it on ships 300 milesout in the Atlantic Ocean The droughtmdashandthe stormsmdashcontinued for years

People called the storms ldquoblack bliz-zardsrdquo A Texas boy wrote

ldquoThese storms were like rolling black smokeWe had to keep the lights on all day We wentto school with headlights on and with dustmasks onrdquo

Thousands of Dust Bowl farmers went bank-rupt and had to give up their farms About400000 farmers migrated to California andbecame migrant workers moving from place toplace to harvest fruits and vegetables So manycame from Oklahoma that people called themldquoOkiesrdquo One observer described their arrival

ldquoThey came in decrepit [broken-down]square-shouldered [cars] that looked likerelics of some antique culture piled highwith mattresses and cooking utensils and chil-dren with suitcases jugs and sacks strapped tothe running boardsrdquo

Explaining Where did many families move to escape the Dust Bowl

The Plight of MinoritiesThe Depression fell especially hard on the

minority groups who were already on the lowerrungs of the American economic ladder Thesegroups included African Americans NativeAmericans and Hispanic Americans

African AmericansIn the South more than half of the African

American population had no jobs African Amer-icans who lived and worked in Southern citiesfound their jobs taken by white people who hadlost theirs The collapse of farm prices crushedAfrican American farmers

Seeking more opportunity about 400000African American men women and childrenmigrated to Northern cities during the decade ofthe 1930s These migrants did not fare much bet-ter there however The jobless rate for AfricanAmericans remained high

African Americans did make some politicalgains during the Depression President Roose-velt appointed a number of African Americansto federal posts He had a group of advisersknown as the Black Cabinet that includedRobert Weaver a college professor and RalphBunche who worked for the State DepartmentMary McLeod Bethune who establishedBethune-Cookman College in Florida alsoserved as an adviser

African Americans continued to fight againstprejudice In 1939 opera singer Marian Ander-son was denied permission to sing in Constitu-tion Hall because she was black Mrs Roosevelthelped arrange for Anderson to give a historicconcert at the Lincoln Memorial

Native AmericansThe 1930s did bring some benefits to Native

Americans The new head of the Bureau ofIndian Affairs John Collier introduced a set ofreforms known as the Indian New Deal

Collier halted the sale of reservation land gotjobs for 77000 Native Americans in the CivilianConservation Corps and obtained Public WorksAdministration funds to build new reservationschools Most important he pushed Congress topass the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934This law restored traditional tribal governmentand provided money for land purchases toenlarge some reservations

Hispanic AmericansAt the beginning of the 1930s about two

million people of Hispanic descent lived in theUnited States mostly in California and theSouthwest Many had emigrated from MexicoThey worked as farmers migrant workers andlaborers As the Great Depression deepenedresentment against Mexican Americans grewMany lost their jobs Politicians and laborunions demanded that Mexican Americans beforced to leave the United States

The government encouraged Mexican immi-grants to return to Mexico Authorities gavethem one-way train tickets to Mexico or simplyrounded them up and shipped them southacross the border More than 500000 MexicanAmericans left the United States during the earlyyears of the Depression often involuntarily

Explaining What was the purposeof the Indian Reorganization Act

Radical Political MovementsHard times helped radical political groups

gain ground in the United States during the1930s Radical groups advocate extreme andimmediate change Socialists and Communistsviewed the Depression not as a temporary eco-nomic problem but as the death of a failed sys-tem They proposed sweeping changes

Communism attracted workers minority-rights activists and intellectuals with promisesto end economic and racial injustice Althoughboth socialism and communism had significantinfluence neither became a major political forcein the United States

DUST BOWLDURING THE 1930s dust storms ravaged the GreatPlains This area was labeled the ldquoDust Bowlrdquo Duststorms dubbed ldquodustersrdquo or ldquoblack blizzardsrdquo sweptacross the region darkening the sky and buryingfences fields and even houses and barns

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

RELIEF

New Deal programs finally brought relief to victims of the Dust Bowl In addition to helping migrants thefederal government taught farmers in the Dust Bowl new conservation measures to preserve their land Rains

Support for Franklin D Rooseveltrsquos efforts to end the Great Depression was far fromunanimous Many wealthy and conservative people attacked the presidentrsquos ldquoradicalrdquopolicies A political cartoon of the 1930s showed a boy writing the word ROOSEVELT onthe sidewalk in front of his rich familyrsquos house His sister calls out ldquoMother Wilfredwrote a bad wordrdquo

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

the economy Although the Liberty League didnot win widespread support its existence con-vinced FDR that big business was against him

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

The WPA also found work for unemployedwriters artists and musicians WPA paintersdecorated the new public buildings withmurals Writers and photographers documentedlife throughout America The writers producedLife in America 150 volumes that recorded folk-tales and songs African American narrativesand Native American traditions

744 CHAPTER 25 The Depression and FDR

Help for Those in NeedBefore the Second New

Deal America was theonly advanced industrialnation without a nationalgovernment program tohelp the needy In August1935 Congress passed theSocial Security Act

The Social Security Act created a tax onworkers and employers That money providedmonthly pensions for retired people Anothertax on employers alone funded unemploy-ment insurance payments to people who losttheir jobs In addition Social Security helpedpeople with disabilities the elderly poor andchildren of parents who could not support them

With the Social Security Act the federal gov-ernment took responsibility for the welfare ofall citizens It launched the American welfaresystem

Explaining How did the govern-ment raise money for Social Security

The Labor MovementLabor unions grew stronger as workers battled

the Depression In 1937 workers at the GeneralMotors plant in Flint Michigan used a new

techniquemdashthe sit-down strikeStrikers continuously occupiedthe plant and refused to workuntil management agreed tonegotiate with them about theirdemands For 44 days families

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

On Election Day FDR received 61 percent of the popular vote the biggest landslide in anAmerican presidential election to that timeRooseveltrsquos support came from progressives andliberals the poor and unemployed urban work-ers and African Americans These groupswould form the core of the Democratic Party fordecades to come

Rooseveltrsquos ldquoCourt-Packingrdquo PlanSoon after his reelection FDR took action to

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The

unpopularity of the court-packing plan how-ever cost Roosevelt a great deal of support andtriggered a split in the Democratic Party

had nearly returned to its 1929 level Believingthat the Depression was finally over Roosevelttried to reduce the governmentrsquos debt by cuttingspending on relief and job programs

CHAPTER 25 The Depression and FDR726

While the stock market crash shook peoplersquosconfidence in the economy it did not cause theDepression Other factors working togethersent the economy into a long tailspin

An Unbalanced EconomyThe problems that led to the Great Depression

began to give out warning signals in the early1920s Farm income shrank throughout thedecade Industries also declined In the monthsbefore the stock market crash the automobileand construction industries suffered from lag-ging orders As a result employers cut wagesand laid off workers With their incomesslashed many Americans could no longer affordthe consumer goods that the nationrsquos industrieshad been churning out

Another factor that fueled the Depression wasthe growing gap in wealth between rich peopleand most Americans The prosperity of the1920s did not help all Americans equally In 1929less than 1 percent of the population ownednearly one-third of the countryrsquos wealth At thesame time about 75 percent of American fami-lies lived in poverty or on the very edge of it

Credit CrisisBorrowed money fueled much of the economy

in the 1920s Farmers bought land equipmentand supplies on credit Consumers used credit tobuy cars Investors borrowed to buy stocksMany small banks suffered when farmersdefaulted or failed to meet loan paymentsLarge banks which had bought stocks as aninvestment suffered huge losses in the stock

market crash These losses forced thousands ofbanks across the nation to close between 1930and 1933 millions of depositors lost their money

International DepressionWeaknesses in the American economy also

sapped the strength of foreign economies Euro-pean countries needed to borrow money fromAmerican banks and to sell goods to Americanconsumers in order to repay their World War Idebts to the United States During the late 1920sbank funds for loans dried up Internationaltrade slowed down because without Americanloans other nations had less money to spend

Joblessness and PovertyAs the Depression tightened its grip on the

United States millions lost their jobs In 1932 25percent of American workers were out of workThe unemployment rate remained near 20 per-cent throughout the decade Industrial cities werehardest hit Workers who managed to keep theirjobs worked only part-time or for reduced wages

The newly unemployed felt devastated NewYorker Sidney Lens who lost his job wroteabout developing

ldquoa feeling of worthlessnessmdashand loneliness I began to think of myself as a freak and misfitrdquo

Long lines of hungry people snaked throughthe streets of the nationrsquos cities They waited forhours to receive a slice of bread a cup of coffeeor a bowl of soup from soup kitchens run bylocal governments or charities

Forced to pay off debts for stocks that weresuddenly worthless Walter Thornton shownhere in October 1929 advertises his car forsale What was ldquoBlack Thursdayrdquo

Unemployed people tried to earn a few centsby shining shoes or selling apples on street cor-ners Those who had lost their homes built shel-ters out of old boxes and other debrissometimes grouped together in pitiful ldquoshanty-townsrdquo Some referred bitterly to the shanty-towns as Hoovervilles because of PresidentHooverrsquos failure to act Across the countryAmericans wondered why the president didnothing to end the suffering (See page 974 of the

Primary Sources Library for one account of life during the Depression)

Describing What percentage ofAmerican workers were out of work in 1932

Hoover and the CrisisPresident Hoover thought the economic cri-

sis was only temporary and that prosperity wasldquojust around the cornerrdquo He also believed thatthe ldquodepression cannot be cured by legislativeaction or executive pronouncementrdquo Instead

Hoover called on business leaders not to cutwages or production of goods and on charitiesto do their best for the needy Voluntary actionby private citizens and local governmentsHoover said would pull the nation throughtough times

Charities churches and volunteers workedheroically to provide reliefmdashaid for the needy So did state and local governments Some citieswithheld part of city workersrsquo wagesmdashalreadyreducedmdashto fund soup kitchens But the numberwho needed help was simply overwhelming

Government ActionEventually Hoover recognized that the federal

government had to take steps to combat theDepression In 1931 he authorized additional fed-eral spending on public worksmdashprojects such ashighways parks and librariesmdashto create newjobs State and local governments ran out ofmoney however and the combined spending byall three levels of government declined

veltrsquos confidence and his promise of action OnNovember 8 they went to the polls and electedRoosevelt in a landslide He captured all but sixstates and received 472 of the 531 electoral votesDemocrats won important victories in Congressalso People clearly wanted a change

In the months before Roosevelt took officethe economy worsened Protests in some citieserupted into violence Meanwhile the bankingsystem was collapsing As more people rushed

to withdraw their deposits more and morebanks went out of business People becamedesperately afraid

The New Deal Takes ShapeThe new laws that Congress passed during

the Hundred Daysmdashand in the months andyears that followedmdashcame to be called the NewDeal New Deal laws and regulations affectedbanking the stock market industry agriculturepublic works relief for the poor and conserva-tion of resources These laws changed the face ofAmerica dramatically

Frances Perkins Rooseveltrsquos secretary oflabor later recalled those early exciting days ofthe New Deal

ldquoIn March 1933 the New Deal was not aplan It was a happy phrase [FDR] hadcoined during the campaign It made peoplefeel better and in that terrible period of depres-sion they needed to feel betterrdquo

EconomicsJobs and Relief

Roosevelt gave high priority to creating jobsHe planned to help the unemployed with workrelief programs giving needy people govern-ment jobs During his first month in office FDRasked Congress to create the Civilian Conserva-tion Corps (CCC) Over the next 10 years theCCC employed about 3 million young men towork on projects that benefited the publicplanting trees to reforest areas building leveesfor flood control and improving national parks

Roosevelt made aid to the poor and sufferinganother priority FDR established the FederalEmergency Relief Administration (FERA) togive money to the states for use in helping peo-ple in need Roosevelt appointed Harry Hop-kins a New York social worker to lead theFERA Hopkins became one of FDRrsquos closestadvisers and got involved in several other NewDeal programs

Roosevelt did not forget agriculture On May12 Congress passed the Agricultural Adjust-ment Act (AAA) The act had two goals toraise farm prices quickly and to control pro-duction so that farm prices would stay up overthe long term

$

In the AAArsquos first year though the supply offood outstripped demand The AAA could raiseprices only by paying farmers to destroy cropsmilk and livestock To many it seemed shockingto throw food away when millions of peoplewent hungry The New Dealers claimed theaction was necessary to bring prices up

To control production and farm prices theAAA paid farmers to leave some of their landuncultivated If market prices of key farm prod-ucts such as wheat and cotton fell below a cer-tain level the AAA would pay farmerssubsidiesmdashgrants of moneymdashto make up thedifference In the first three years of the NewDeal farmersrsquo incomes rose by about 50 percentThe Supreme Court ruled that the AAA wasunconstitutional in United States v Butler (1936)for invading the reserved powers of the states

Rebuilding a RegionOne of the boldest programs launched during

the Hundred Days was the Tennessee ValleyAuthority (TVA) The TVA aimed to control flood-ing promote conservation and development andbring electricity to rural areas along the TennesseeRiver By building new dams and improving oth-ers the TVA ended the regionrsquos disastrous floodsAnd with hydroelectric powergenerating affordable electricitythousands of farms and homes insome Southern states were wiredfor electricity for the first time

Some critics charged thatfunds for the TVA should be usedto support programs nation-wide Power companiesalso attacked the programas unfair and communis-tic When the spring rainscame in 1937 however thesystem workedmdashthe damsprevented the TennesseeRiver from flooding Inthe end most observersagreed that the TVAwas an example ofsuccessful social andeconomic planning

Helping Business and LaborOn the last day of the Hundred Days Congress

passed the National Industrial Recovery Act(NIRA) which Roosevelt called ldquothe most impor-tant and far-reaching legislationrdquo ever passed inthe United States The NIRA aimed to boost theeconomy by helping business regulate itself

The NIRA crea ted the National RecoveryAdministration (NRA)which encouraged busi-nesses to set a minimumwage and abolish childlabor In addition theNRA tried to set upcodes governing pricingand other practices forevery industry HughJohnson a former generalnamed to head the NRA launched a campaignto promote the agency Before long the agencyrsquosblue eagle symbol and sloganmdashldquoWe Do OurPartrdquomdashappeared everywhere

Another program that the NIRA launched wasthe Public Works Administration (PWA) Its goalwas to stimulate the economy through the build-ing of huge public works projects that neededlarge numbers of workers The agency employedpeople to work on the construction of roads ship-yards hospitals city halls and schools Many

PWA projectsmdashsuch as New York Cityrsquos LincolnTunnel and Kentuckyrsquos Fort Knoxmdashstill stand ThePWA spent its funds slowly though and did nothave much immediate impact on unemployment

To avoid future banking crises Rooseveltcalled for reform of the nationrsquos financial systemCongress established the Federal Deposit Insur-ance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank depositsThe government guaranteed that money placedin a bank insured by the FDIC would not be lostif the bank failed

Congress also passed a law regulating the saleof stocks and bonds and created the Securitiesand Exchange Commission (SEC) This 1934law gave the SEC the power to punish dishoneststockbrokers and speculators

Assessing the Early New DealThe New Deal did not cure the nationrsquos ills

The Depression dragged on bringing continuedhardship Farmers continued to lose their landUnemployment remained at high levels Manypeople still struggled to survive and to makeends meet

GeographyWhat Caused the Dust Bowl

Using new technology such as tractorsand disc plows farmers had cleared mil-lions of acres of sod for wheat farming Theydid not realize that the roots of the grass hadheld the soil in place When a severedrought struck in 1931 crops died and thesoil dried out Strong prairie winds simplyblew the soil away

Each storm stripped away more soil Onestorm in 1934 carried about 300 million tons ofsoil depositing some of it on ships 300 milesout in the Atlantic Ocean The droughtmdashandthe stormsmdashcontinued for years

People called the storms ldquoblack bliz-zardsrdquo A Texas boy wrote

ldquoThese storms were like rolling black smokeWe had to keep the lights on all day We wentto school with headlights on and with dustmasks onrdquo

Thousands of Dust Bowl farmers went bank-rupt and had to give up their farms About400000 farmers migrated to California andbecame migrant workers moving from place toplace to harvest fruits and vegetables So manycame from Oklahoma that people called themldquoOkiesrdquo One observer described their arrival

ldquoThey came in decrepit [broken-down]square-shouldered [cars] that looked likerelics of some antique culture piled highwith mattresses and cooking utensils and chil-dren with suitcases jugs and sacks strapped tothe running boardsrdquo

Explaining Where did many families move to escape the Dust Bowl

The Plight of MinoritiesThe Depression fell especially hard on the

minority groups who were already on the lowerrungs of the American economic ladder Thesegroups included African Americans NativeAmericans and Hispanic Americans

African AmericansIn the South more than half of the African

American population had no jobs African Amer-icans who lived and worked in Southern citiesfound their jobs taken by white people who hadlost theirs The collapse of farm prices crushedAfrican American farmers

Seeking more opportunity about 400000African American men women and childrenmigrated to Northern cities during the decade ofthe 1930s These migrants did not fare much bet-ter there however The jobless rate for AfricanAmericans remained high

African Americans did make some politicalgains during the Depression President Roose-velt appointed a number of African Americansto federal posts He had a group of advisersknown as the Black Cabinet that includedRobert Weaver a college professor and RalphBunche who worked for the State DepartmentMary McLeod Bethune who establishedBethune-Cookman College in Florida alsoserved as an adviser

African Americans continued to fight againstprejudice In 1939 opera singer Marian Ander-son was denied permission to sing in Constitu-tion Hall because she was black Mrs Roosevelthelped arrange for Anderson to give a historicconcert at the Lincoln Memorial

Native AmericansThe 1930s did bring some benefits to Native

Americans The new head of the Bureau ofIndian Affairs John Collier introduced a set ofreforms known as the Indian New Deal

Collier halted the sale of reservation land gotjobs for 77000 Native Americans in the CivilianConservation Corps and obtained Public WorksAdministration funds to build new reservationschools Most important he pushed Congress topass the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934This law restored traditional tribal governmentand provided money for land purchases toenlarge some reservations

Hispanic AmericansAt the beginning of the 1930s about two

million people of Hispanic descent lived in theUnited States mostly in California and theSouthwest Many had emigrated from MexicoThey worked as farmers migrant workers andlaborers As the Great Depression deepenedresentment against Mexican Americans grewMany lost their jobs Politicians and laborunions demanded that Mexican Americans beforced to leave the United States

The government encouraged Mexican immi-grants to return to Mexico Authorities gavethem one-way train tickets to Mexico or simplyrounded them up and shipped them southacross the border More than 500000 MexicanAmericans left the United States during the earlyyears of the Depression often involuntarily

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

On Election Day FDR received 61 percent of the popular vote the biggest landslide in anAmerican presidential election to that timeRooseveltrsquos support came from progressives andliberals the poor and unemployed urban work-ers and African Americans These groupswould form the core of the Democratic Party fordecades to come

Rooseveltrsquos ldquoCourt-Packingrdquo PlanSoon after his reelection FDR took action to

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The

Recession cost FDR support in Congress Theeconomy had not fully recovered in spite of thewide-ranging New Deal programs As the 1930sdrew to a close however world events causedAmericans to turn their attention from domesticto foreign affairs Dangerous forces were on therise in Asia and Europe

Hoover and the CrisisPresident Hoover thought the economic cri-

Hoover called on business leaders not to cutwages or production of goods and on charitiesto do their best for the needy Voluntary actionby private citizens and local governmentsHoover said would pull the nation throughtough times

Charities churches and volunteers workedheroically to provide reliefmdashaid for the needy So did state and local governments Some citieswithheld part of city workersrsquo wagesmdashalreadyreducedmdashto fund soup kitchens But the numberwho needed help was simply overwhelming

Government ActionEventually Hoover recognized that the federal

government had to take steps to combat theDepression In 1931 he authorized additional fed-eral spending on public worksmdashprojects such ashighways parks and librariesmdashto create newjobs State and local governments ran out ofmoney however and the combined spending byall three levels of government declined

Frances Perkins Rooseveltrsquos secretary oflabor later recalled those early exciting days ofthe New Deal

ldquoIn March 1933 the New Deal was not aplan It was a happy phrase [FDR] hadcoined during the campaign It made peoplefeel better and in that terrible period of depres-sion they needed to feel betterrdquo

EconomicsJobs and Relief

Roosevelt gave high priority to creating jobsHe planned to help the unemployed with workrelief programs giving needy people govern-ment jobs During his first month in office FDRasked Congress to create the Civilian Conserva-tion Corps (CCC) Over the next 10 years theCCC employed about 3 million young men towork on projects that benefited the publicplanting trees to reforest areas building leveesfor flood control and improving national parks

Roosevelt made aid to the poor and sufferinganother priority FDR established the FederalEmergency Relief Administration (FERA) togive money to the states for use in helping peo-ple in need Roosevelt appointed Harry Hop-kins a New York social worker to lead theFERA Hopkins became one of FDRrsquos closestadvisers and got involved in several other NewDeal programs

Roosevelt did not forget agriculture On May12 Congress passed the Agricultural Adjust-ment Act (AAA) The act had two goals toraise farm prices quickly and to control pro-duction so that farm prices would stay up overthe long term

$

In the AAArsquos first year though the supply offood outstripped demand The AAA could raiseprices only by paying farmers to destroy cropsmilk and livestock To many it seemed shockingto throw food away when millions of peoplewent hungry The New Dealers claimed theaction was necessary to bring prices up

To control production and farm prices theAAA paid farmers to leave some of their landuncultivated If market prices of key farm prod-ucts such as wheat and cotton fell below a cer-tain level the AAA would pay farmerssubsidiesmdashgrants of moneymdashto make up thedifference In the first three years of the NewDeal farmersrsquo incomes rose by about 50 percentThe Supreme Court ruled that the AAA wasunconstitutional in United States v Butler (1936)for invading the reserved powers of the states

Rebuilding a RegionOne of the boldest programs launched during

the Hundred Days was the Tennessee ValleyAuthority (TVA) The TVA aimed to control flood-ing promote conservation and development andbring electricity to rural areas along the TennesseeRiver By building new dams and improving oth-ers the TVA ended the regionrsquos disastrous floodsAnd with hydroelectric powergenerating affordable electricitythousands of farms and homes insome Southern states were wiredfor electricity for the first time

Some critics charged thatfunds for the TVA should be usedto support programs nation-wide Power companiesalso attacked the programas unfair and communis-tic When the spring rainscame in 1937 however thesystem workedmdashthe damsprevented the TennesseeRiver from flooding Inthe end most observersagreed that the TVAwas an example ofsuccessful social andeconomic planning

Another program that the NIRA launched wasthe Public Works Administration (PWA) Its goalwas to stimulate the economy through the build-ing of huge public works projects that neededlarge numbers of workers The agency employedpeople to work on the construction of roads ship-yards hospitals city halls and schools Many

PWA projectsmdashsuch as New York Cityrsquos LincolnTunnel and Kentuckyrsquos Fort Knoxmdashstill stand ThePWA spent its funds slowly though and did nothave much immediate impact on unemployment

To avoid future banking crises Rooseveltcalled for reform of the nationrsquos financial systemCongress established the Federal Deposit Insur-ance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank depositsThe government guaranteed that money placedin a bank insured by the FDIC would not be lostif the bank failed

Congress also passed a law regulating the saleof stocks and bonds and created the Securitiesand Exchange Commission (SEC) This 1934law gave the SEC the power to punish dishoneststockbrokers and speculators

The Depression dragged on bringing continuedhardship Farmers continued to lose their landUnemployment remained at high levels Manypeople still struggled to survive and to makeends meet

Yet the darkest days had passed The panic of1932 and 1933 had receded and the flurry ofactivity from the nationrsquos capital had restoredsome measure of confidence

Women Go to WorkMany people thought that women should

not hold jobs as long as men were unemployedDespite such prejudices desperation drove alarge number of women into the workforceMany families survived on a womanrsquosincomemdasheven though American womenearned less than men

Women also worked harder at home to makeends meet Instead of buying clothes or gro-ceries they sewed their own clothing bakedtheir own bread and canned their own vegeta-bles Some women started home businessessuch as laundries or boardinghouses

The New Deal era opened doors for womenin public life President Roosevelt appointed thefirst woman ever to serve in the cabinet FrancesPerkins He also named more than 100 otherwomen to federal posts OnemdashEllen Sullivan

GeographyWhat Caused the Dust Bowl

Using new technology such as tractorsand disc plows farmers had cleared mil-lions of acres of sod for wheat farming Theydid not realize that the roots of the grass hadheld the soil in place When a severedrought struck in 1931 crops died and thesoil dried out Strong prairie winds simplyblew the soil away

Each storm stripped away more soil Onestorm in 1934 carried about 300 million tons ofsoil depositing some of it on ships 300 milesout in the Atlantic Ocean The droughtmdashandthe stormsmdashcontinued for years

People called the storms ldquoblack bliz-zardsrdquo A Texas boy wrote

ldquoThese storms were like rolling black smokeWe had to keep the lights on all day We wentto school with headlights on and with dustmasks onrdquo

Thousands of Dust Bowl farmers went bank-rupt and had to give up their farms About400000 farmers migrated to California andbecame migrant workers moving from place toplace to harvest fruits and vegetables So manycame from Oklahoma that people called themldquoOkiesrdquo One observer described their arrival

ldquoThey came in decrepit [broken-down]square-shouldered [cars] that looked likerelics of some antique culture piled highwith mattresses and cooking utensils and chil-dren with suitcases jugs and sacks strapped tothe running boardsrdquo

Explaining Where did many families move to escape the Dust Bowl

The Plight of MinoritiesThe Depression fell especially hard on the

minority groups who were already on the lowerrungs of the American economic ladder Thesegroups included African Americans NativeAmericans and Hispanic Americans

African AmericansIn the South more than half of the African

American population had no jobs African Amer-icans who lived and worked in Southern citiesfound their jobs taken by white people who hadlost theirs The collapse of farm prices crushedAfrican American farmers

Seeking more opportunity about 400000African American men women and childrenmigrated to Northern cities during the decade ofthe 1930s These migrants did not fare much bet-ter there however The jobless rate for AfricanAmericans remained high

African Americans did make some politicalgains during the Depression President Roose-velt appointed a number of African Americansto federal posts He had a group of advisersknown as the Black Cabinet that includedRobert Weaver a college professor and RalphBunche who worked for the State DepartmentMary McLeod Bethune who establishedBethune-Cookman College in Florida alsoserved as an adviser

African Americans continued to fight againstprejudice In 1939 opera singer Marian Ander-son was denied permission to sing in Constitu-tion Hall because she was black Mrs Roosevelthelped arrange for Anderson to give a historicconcert at the Lincoln Memorial

Native AmericansThe 1930s did bring some benefits to Native

Americans The new head of the Bureau ofIndian Affairs John Collier introduced a set ofreforms known as the Indian New Deal

Collier halted the sale of reservation land gotjobs for 77000 Native Americans in the CivilianConservation Corps and obtained Public WorksAdministration funds to build new reservationschools Most important he pushed Congress topass the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934This law restored traditional tribal governmentand provided money for land purchases toenlarge some reservations

Hispanic AmericansAt the beginning of the 1930s about two

million people of Hispanic descent lived in theUnited States mostly in California and theSouthwest Many had emigrated from MexicoThey worked as farmers migrant workers andlaborers As the Great Depression deepenedresentment against Mexican Americans grewMany lost their jobs Politicians and laborunions demanded that Mexican Americans beforced to leave the United States

The government encouraged Mexican immi-grants to return to Mexico Authorities gavethem one-way train tickets to Mexico or simplyrounded them up and shipped them southacross the border More than 500000 MexicanAmericans left the United States during the earlyyears of the Depression often involuntarily

Explaining What was the purposeof the Indian Reorganization Act

Radical Political MovementsHard times helped radical political groups

gain ground in the United States during the1930s Radical groups advocate extreme andimmediate change Socialists and Communistsviewed the Depression not as a temporary eco-nomic problem but as the death of a failed sys-tem They proposed sweeping changes

Communism attracted workers minority-rights activists and intellectuals with promisesto end economic and racial injustice Althoughboth socialism and communism had significantinfluence neither became a major political forcein the United States

DUST BOWLDURING THE 1930s dust storms ravaged the GreatPlains This area was labeled the ldquoDust Bowlrdquo Duststorms dubbed ldquodustersrdquo or ldquoblack blizzardsrdquo sweptacross the region darkening the sky and buryingfences fields and even houses and barns

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

RELIEF

New Deal programs finally brought relief to victims of the Dust Bowl In addition to helping migrants thefederal government taught farmers in the Dust Bowl new conservation measures to preserve their land Rains

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

the economy Although the Liberty League didnot win widespread support its existence con-vinced FDR that big business was against him

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

Help for Those in NeedBefore the Second New

Deal America was theonly advanced industrialnation without a nationalgovernment program tohelp the needy In August1935 Congress passed theSocial Security Act

The Social Security Act created a tax onworkers and employers That money providedmonthly pensions for retired people Anothertax on employers alone funded unemploy-ment insurance payments to people who losttheir jobs In addition Social Security helpedpeople with disabilities the elderly poor andchildren of parents who could not support them

With the Social Security Act the federal gov-ernment took responsibility for the welfare ofall citizens It launched the American welfaresystem

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

ldquoIn March 1933 the New Deal was not aplan It was a happy phrase [FDR] hadcoined during the campaign It made peoplefeel better and in that terrible period of depres-sion they needed to feel betterrdquo

EconomicsJobs and Relief

Roosevelt gave high priority to creating jobsHe planned to help the unemployed with workrelief programs giving needy people govern-ment jobs During his first month in office FDRasked Congress to create the Civilian Conserva-tion Corps (CCC) Over the next 10 years theCCC employed about 3 million young men towork on projects that benefited the publicplanting trees to reforest areas building leveesfor flood control and improving national parks

Roosevelt made aid to the poor and sufferinganother priority FDR established the FederalEmergency Relief Administration (FERA) togive money to the states for use in helping peo-ple in need Roosevelt appointed Harry Hop-kins a New York social worker to lead theFERA Hopkins became one of FDRrsquos closestadvisers and got involved in several other NewDeal programs

Roosevelt did not forget agriculture On May12 Congress passed the Agricultural Adjust-ment Act (AAA) The act had two goals toraise farm prices quickly and to control pro-duction so that farm prices would stay up overthe long term

$

In the AAArsquos first year though the supply offood outstripped demand The AAA could raiseprices only by paying farmers to destroy cropsmilk and livestock To many it seemed shockingto throw food away when millions of peoplewent hungry The New Dealers claimed theaction was necessary to bring prices up

To control production and farm prices theAAA paid farmers to leave some of their landuncultivated If market prices of key farm prod-ucts such as wheat and cotton fell below a cer-tain level the AAA would pay farmerssubsidiesmdashgrants of moneymdashto make up thedifference In the first three years of the NewDeal farmersrsquo incomes rose by about 50 percentThe Supreme Court ruled that the AAA wasunconstitutional in United States v Butler (1936)for invading the reserved powers of the states

Rebuilding a RegionOne of the boldest programs launched during

the Hundred Days was the Tennessee ValleyAuthority (TVA) The TVA aimed to control flood-ing promote conservation and development andbring electricity to rural areas along the TennesseeRiver By building new dams and improving oth-ers the TVA ended the regionrsquos disastrous floodsAnd with hydroelectric powergenerating affordable electricitythousands of farms and homes insome Southern states were wiredfor electricity for the first time

Another program that the NIRA launched wasthe Public Works Administration (PWA) Its goalwas to stimulate the economy through the build-ing of huge public works projects that neededlarge numbers of workers The agency employedpeople to work on the construction of roads ship-yards hospitals city halls and schools Many

PWA projectsmdashsuch as New York Cityrsquos LincolnTunnel and Kentuckyrsquos Fort Knoxmdashstill stand ThePWA spent its funds slowly though and did nothave much immediate impact on unemployment

To avoid future banking crises Rooseveltcalled for reform of the nationrsquos financial systemCongress established the Federal Deposit Insur-ance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank depositsThe government guaranteed that money placedin a bank insured by the FDIC would not be lostif the bank failed

Congress also passed a law regulating the saleof stocks and bonds and created the Securitiesand Exchange Commission (SEC) This 1934law gave the SEC the power to punish dishoneststockbrokers and speculators

The Depression dragged on bringing continuedhardship Farmers continued to lose their landUnemployment remained at high levels Manypeople still struggled to survive and to makeends meet

GeographyWhat Caused the Dust Bowl

Using new technology such as tractorsand disc plows farmers had cleared mil-lions of acres of sod for wheat farming Theydid not realize that the roots of the grass hadheld the soil in place When a severedrought struck in 1931 crops died and thesoil dried out Strong prairie winds simplyblew the soil away

Each storm stripped away more soil Onestorm in 1934 carried about 300 million tons ofsoil depositing some of it on ships 300 milesout in the Atlantic Ocean The droughtmdashandthe stormsmdashcontinued for years

People called the storms ldquoblack bliz-zardsrdquo A Texas boy wrote

ldquoThese storms were like rolling black smokeWe had to keep the lights on all day We wentto school with headlights on and with dustmasks onrdquo

Thousands of Dust Bowl farmers went bank-rupt and had to give up their farms About400000 farmers migrated to California andbecame migrant workers moving from place toplace to harvest fruits and vegetables So manycame from Oklahoma that people called themldquoOkiesrdquo One observer described their arrival

ldquoThey came in decrepit [broken-down]square-shouldered [cars] that looked likerelics of some antique culture piled highwith mattresses and cooking utensils and chil-dren with suitcases jugs and sacks strapped tothe running boardsrdquo

Explaining Where did many families move to escape the Dust Bowl

The Plight of MinoritiesThe Depression fell especially hard on the

minority groups who were already on the lowerrungs of the American economic ladder Thesegroups included African Americans NativeAmericans and Hispanic Americans

African AmericansIn the South more than half of the African

American population had no jobs African Amer-icans who lived and worked in Southern citiesfound their jobs taken by white people who hadlost theirs The collapse of farm prices crushedAfrican American farmers

Seeking more opportunity about 400000African American men women and childrenmigrated to Northern cities during the decade ofthe 1930s These migrants did not fare much bet-ter there however The jobless rate for AfricanAmericans remained high

African Americans did make some politicalgains during the Depression President Roose-velt appointed a number of African Americansto federal posts He had a group of advisersknown as the Black Cabinet that includedRobert Weaver a college professor and RalphBunche who worked for the State DepartmentMary McLeod Bethune who establishedBethune-Cookman College in Florida alsoserved as an adviser

African Americans continued to fight againstprejudice In 1939 opera singer Marian Ander-son was denied permission to sing in Constitu-tion Hall because she was black Mrs Roosevelthelped arrange for Anderson to give a historicconcert at the Lincoln Memorial

Native AmericansThe 1930s did bring some benefits to Native

Americans The new head of the Bureau ofIndian Affairs John Collier introduced a set ofreforms known as the Indian New Deal

Collier halted the sale of reservation land gotjobs for 77000 Native Americans in the CivilianConservation Corps and obtained Public WorksAdministration funds to build new reservationschools Most important he pushed Congress topass the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934This law restored traditional tribal governmentand provided money for land purchases toenlarge some reservations

Hispanic AmericansAt the beginning of the 1930s about two

million people of Hispanic descent lived in theUnited States mostly in California and theSouthwest Many had emigrated from MexicoThey worked as farmers migrant workers andlaborers As the Great Depression deepenedresentment against Mexican Americans grewMany lost their jobs Politicians and laborunions demanded that Mexican Americans beforced to leave the United States

The government encouraged Mexican immi-grants to return to Mexico Authorities gavethem one-way train tickets to Mexico or simplyrounded them up and shipped them southacross the border More than 500000 MexicanAmericans left the United States during the earlyyears of the Depression often involuntarily

Explaining What was the purposeof the Indian Reorganization Act

Radical Political MovementsHard times helped radical political groups

gain ground in the United States during the1930s Radical groups advocate extreme andimmediate change Socialists and Communistsviewed the Depression not as a temporary eco-nomic problem but as the death of a failed sys-tem They proposed sweeping changes

Communism attracted workers minority-rights activists and intellectuals with promisesto end economic and racial injustice Althoughboth socialism and communism had significantinfluence neither became a major political forcein the United States

DUST BOWLDURING THE 1930s dust storms ravaged the GreatPlains This area was labeled the ldquoDust Bowlrdquo Duststorms dubbed ldquodustersrdquo or ldquoblack blizzardsrdquo sweptacross the region darkening the sky and buryingfences fields and even houses and barns

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

RELIEF

New Deal programs finally brought relief to victims of the Dust Bowl In addition to helping migrants thefederal government taught farmers in the Dust Bowl new conservation measures to preserve their land Rains

Support for Franklin D Rooseveltrsquos efforts to end the Great Depression was far fromunanimous Many wealthy and conservative people attacked the presidentrsquos ldquoradicalrdquopolicies A political cartoon of the 1930s showed a boy writing the word ROOSEVELT onthe sidewalk in front of his rich familyrsquos house His sister calls out ldquoMother Wilfredwrote a bad wordrdquo

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

the economy Although the Liberty League didnot win widespread support its existence con-vinced FDR that big business was against him

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

The WPA also found work for unemployedwriters artists and musicians WPA paintersdecorated the new public buildings withmurals Writers and photographers documentedlife throughout America The writers producedLife in America 150 volumes that recorded folk-tales and songs African American narrativesand Native American traditions

Help for Those in NeedBefore the Second New

Deal America was theonly advanced industrialnation without a nationalgovernment program tohelp the needy In August1935 Congress passed theSocial Security Act

The Social Security Act created a tax onworkers and employers That money providedmonthly pensions for retired people Anothertax on employers alone funded unemploy-ment insurance payments to people who losttheir jobs In addition Social Security helpedpeople with disabilities the elderly poor andchildren of parents who could not support them

With the Social Security Act the federal gov-ernment took responsibility for the welfare ofall citizens It launched the American welfaresystem

Explaining How did the govern-ment raise money for Social Security

The Labor MovementLabor unions grew stronger as workers battled

the Depression In 1937 workers at the GeneralMotors plant in Flint Michigan used a new

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

Rooseveltrsquos ldquoCourt-Packingrdquo PlanSoon after his reelection FDR took action to

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The

unpopularity of the court-packing plan how-ever cost Roosevelt a great deal of support andtriggered a split in the Democratic Party

had nearly returned to its 1929 level Believingthat the Depression was finally over Roosevelttried to reduce the governmentrsquos debt by cuttingspending on relief and job programs

The New Deal Takes ShapeThe new laws that Congress passed during

the Hundred Daysmdashand in the months andyears that followedmdashcame to be called the NewDeal New Deal laws and regulations affectedbanking the stock market industry agriculturepublic works relief for the poor and conserva-tion of resources These laws changed the face ofAmerica dramatically

Frances Perkins Rooseveltrsquos secretary oflabor later recalled those early exciting days ofthe New Deal

ldquoIn March 1933 the New Deal was not aplan It was a happy phrase [FDR] hadcoined during the campaign It made peoplefeel better and in that terrible period of depres-sion they needed to feel betterrdquo

EconomicsJobs and Relief

Roosevelt gave high priority to creating jobsHe planned to help the unemployed with workrelief programs giving needy people govern-ment jobs During his first month in office FDRasked Congress to create the Civilian Conserva-tion Corps (CCC) Over the next 10 years theCCC employed about 3 million young men towork on projects that benefited the publicplanting trees to reforest areas building leveesfor flood control and improving national parks

Roosevelt made aid to the poor and sufferinganother priority FDR established the FederalEmergency Relief Administration (FERA) togive money to the states for use in helping peo-ple in need Roosevelt appointed Harry Hop-kins a New York social worker to lead theFERA Hopkins became one of FDRrsquos closestadvisers and got involved in several other NewDeal programs

Roosevelt did not forget agriculture On May12 Congress passed the Agricultural Adjust-ment Act (AAA) The act had two goals toraise farm prices quickly and to control pro-duction so that farm prices would stay up overthe long term

$

In the AAArsquos first year though the supply offood outstripped demand The AAA could raiseprices only by paying farmers to destroy cropsmilk and livestock To many it seemed shockingto throw food away when millions of peoplewent hungry The New Dealers claimed theaction was necessary to bring prices up

To control production and farm prices theAAA paid farmers to leave some of their landuncultivated If market prices of key farm prod-ucts such as wheat and cotton fell below a cer-tain level the AAA would pay farmerssubsidiesmdashgrants of moneymdashto make up thedifference In the first three years of the NewDeal farmersrsquo incomes rose by about 50 percentThe Supreme Court ruled that the AAA wasunconstitutional in United States v Butler (1936)for invading the reserved powers of the states

Rebuilding a RegionOne of the boldest programs launched during

the Hundred Days was the Tennessee ValleyAuthority (TVA) The TVA aimed to control flood-ing promote conservation and development andbring electricity to rural areas along the TennesseeRiver By building new dams and improving oth-ers the TVA ended the regionrsquos disastrous floodsAnd with hydroelectric powergenerating affordable electricitythousands of farms and homes insome Southern states were wiredfor electricity for the first time

Some critics charged thatfunds for the TVA should be usedto support programs nation-wide Power companiesalso attacked the programas unfair and communis-tic When the spring rainscame in 1937 however thesystem workedmdashthe damsprevented the TennesseeRiver from flooding Inthe end most observersagreed that the TVAwas an example ofsuccessful social andeconomic planning

Helping Business and LaborOn the last day of the Hundred Days Congress

passed the National Industrial Recovery Act(NIRA) which Roosevelt called ldquothe most impor-tant and far-reaching legislationrdquo ever passed inthe United States The NIRA aimed to boost theeconomy by helping business regulate itself

The NIRA crea ted the National RecoveryAdministration (NRA)which encouraged busi-nesses to set a minimumwage and abolish childlabor In addition theNRA tried to set upcodes governing pricingand other practices forevery industry HughJohnson a former generalnamed to head the NRA launched a campaignto promote the agency Before long the agencyrsquosblue eagle symbol and sloganmdashldquoWe Do OurPartrdquomdashappeared everywhere

Another program that the NIRA launched wasthe Public Works Administration (PWA) Its goalwas to stimulate the economy through the build-ing of huge public works projects that neededlarge numbers of workers The agency employedpeople to work on the construction of roads ship-yards hospitals city halls and schools Many

PWA projectsmdashsuch as New York Cityrsquos LincolnTunnel and Kentuckyrsquos Fort Knoxmdashstill stand ThePWA spent its funds slowly though and did nothave much immediate impact on unemployment

To avoid future banking crises Rooseveltcalled for reform of the nationrsquos financial systemCongress established the Federal Deposit Insur-ance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank depositsThe government guaranteed that money placedin a bank insured by the FDIC would not be lostif the bank failed

Congress also passed a law regulating the saleof stocks and bonds and created the Securitiesand Exchange Commission (SEC) This 1934law gave the SEC the power to punish dishoneststockbrokers and speculators

Assessing the Early New DealThe New Deal did not cure the nationrsquos ills

The Depression dragged on bringing continuedhardship Farmers continued to lose their landUnemployment remained at high levels Manypeople still struggled to survive and to makeends meet

Yet the darkest days had passed The panic of1932 and 1933 had receded and the flurry ofactivity from the nationrsquos capital had restoredsome measure of confidence

GeographyWhat Caused the Dust Bowl

Using new technology such as tractorsand disc plows farmers had cleared mil-lions of acres of sod for wheat farming Theydid not realize that the roots of the grass hadheld the soil in place When a severedrought struck in 1931 crops died and thesoil dried out Strong prairie winds simplyblew the soil away

Each storm stripped away more soil Onestorm in 1934 carried about 300 million tons ofsoil depositing some of it on ships 300 milesout in the Atlantic Ocean The droughtmdashandthe stormsmdashcontinued for years

People called the storms ldquoblack bliz-zardsrdquo A Texas boy wrote

ldquoThese storms were like rolling black smokeWe had to keep the lights on all day We wentto school with headlights on and with dustmasks onrdquo

Thousands of Dust Bowl farmers went bank-rupt and had to give up their farms About400000 farmers migrated to California andbecame migrant workers moving from place toplace to harvest fruits and vegetables So manycame from Oklahoma that people called themldquoOkiesrdquo One observer described their arrival

ldquoThey came in decrepit [broken-down]square-shouldered [cars] that looked likerelics of some antique culture piled highwith mattresses and cooking utensils and chil-dren with suitcases jugs and sacks strapped tothe running boardsrdquo

Explaining Where did many families move to escape the Dust Bowl

The Plight of MinoritiesThe Depression fell especially hard on the

minority groups who were already on the lowerrungs of the American economic ladder Thesegroups included African Americans NativeAmericans and Hispanic Americans

African AmericansIn the South more than half of the African

American population had no jobs African Amer-icans who lived and worked in Southern citiesfound their jobs taken by white people who hadlost theirs The collapse of farm prices crushedAfrican American farmers

Seeking more opportunity about 400000African American men women and childrenmigrated to Northern cities during the decade ofthe 1930s These migrants did not fare much bet-ter there however The jobless rate for AfricanAmericans remained high

African Americans did make some politicalgains during the Depression President Roose-velt appointed a number of African Americansto federal posts He had a group of advisersknown as the Black Cabinet that includedRobert Weaver a college professor and RalphBunche who worked for the State DepartmentMary McLeod Bethune who establishedBethune-Cookman College in Florida alsoserved as an adviser

African Americans continued to fight againstprejudice In 1939 opera singer Marian Ander-son was denied permission to sing in Constitu-tion Hall because she was black Mrs Roosevelthelped arrange for Anderson to give a historicconcert at the Lincoln Memorial

Native AmericansThe 1930s did bring some benefits to Native

Americans The new head of the Bureau ofIndian Affairs John Collier introduced a set ofreforms known as the Indian New Deal

Collier halted the sale of reservation land gotjobs for 77000 Native Americans in the CivilianConservation Corps and obtained Public WorksAdministration funds to build new reservationschools Most important he pushed Congress topass the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934This law restored traditional tribal governmentand provided money for land purchases toenlarge some reservations

Hispanic AmericansAt the beginning of the 1930s about two

million people of Hispanic descent lived in theUnited States mostly in California and theSouthwest Many had emigrated from MexicoThey worked as farmers migrant workers andlaborers As the Great Depression deepenedresentment against Mexican Americans grewMany lost their jobs Politicians and laborunions demanded that Mexican Americans beforced to leave the United States

The government encouraged Mexican immi-grants to return to Mexico Authorities gavethem one-way train tickets to Mexico or simplyrounded them up and shipped them southacross the border More than 500000 MexicanAmericans left the United States during the earlyyears of the Depression often involuntarily

Explaining What was the purposeof the Indian Reorganization Act

Radical Political MovementsHard times helped radical political groups

gain ground in the United States during the1930s Radical groups advocate extreme andimmediate change Socialists and Communistsviewed the Depression not as a temporary eco-nomic problem but as the death of a failed sys-tem They proposed sweeping changes

Communism attracted workers minority-rights activists and intellectuals with promisesto end economic and racial injustice Althoughboth socialism and communism had significantinfluence neither became a major political forcein the United States

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

When Roosevelt learned that he had beennominated he flew to Chicago to deliver thefirst acceptance speech ever made at a conven-tion He told the Democratsmdashand the nationmdashldquoIpledge you I pledge myself to a new deal forthe American peoplerdquo

As the Republicans and Democrats held theirconventions in 1932 the Depression grew worseThe Republicans met in Chicago and nominatedPresident Hoover for reelection With the coun-tryrsquos economy in trouble Hooverrsquos chances forwinning reelection looked poor

Early Years of PromiseFranklin D Roosevelt a distant cousin of for-

mer president Theodore Roosevelt came from awealthy family Ambitious and charming FDRdecided on a career in politics In 1905 he mar-ried Theodore Rooseveltrsquos niece Eleanor Roose-velt and she became a tireless partner in hispublic life

FDRrsquos political career began with his electionto the New York state senate in 1910 In 1913 hebecame assistant secretary of the navy and in1920 the Democrats chose him as their candidate

for vice president The Democrats lost the elec-tion to Warren G Harding but Franklin Roose-veltrsquos political future seemed bright

Then in 1921 polio struck Roosevelt paralyz-ing both his legs Yet FDRrsquos will remained strongldquoOnce I spent two years lying in bed trying tomove my big toerdquo he said later ldquoAfter that any-thing else seems easyrdquo

Return to PoliticsAfter a few years FDR decided to return to

politics He never publicly mentioned his para-lyzed legs and he asked journalists not to photo-graph his leg braces or wheelchair Electedgovernor of New York in 1928 and reelected in1930 Roosevelt earned a national reputation as areformer He drew on the advice of a group ofprogressive lawyers economists and socialworkersmdashknown as the Brain Trustmdashto developrelief programs for the state When he decided torun for president he counted on the Brain Trustto help him guide the nation to recovery

In the months before Roosevelt took officethe economy worsened Protests in some citieserupted into violence Meanwhile the bankingsystem was collapsing As more people rushed

to withdraw their deposits more and morebanks went out of business People becamedesperately afraid

At his inauguration on March 4 1933 Roose-velt told the nation that ldquothe only thing we haveto fear is fear itselfmdashnameless unreasoningunjustified terrorrdquo He reassured people andpointed out that the ldquogreatest primary task is toput people to workrdquo He also promised immedi-ate action on the banking crisis

Restoring Confidence in BanksTwo days after the inauguration Roosevelt

ordered all banks closed for four days He alsocalled Congress to a special session at which hepresented the administrationrsquos plan for handlingthe banking problem About seven hours laterCongress had passed and Roosevelt had signedthe Emergency Banking Relief Act The act pro-posed a wide range of presidential powers overbanking and set up a system by which bankswould open again or be reorganized By mid-March half of the nationrsquos banks had reopened

the Hundred Daysmdashand in the months andyears that followedmdashcame to be called the NewDeal New Deal laws and regulations affectedbanking the stock market industry agriculturepublic works relief for the poor and conserva-tion of resources These laws changed the face ofAmerica dramatically

Frances Perkins Rooseveltrsquos secretary oflabor later recalled those early exciting days ofthe New Deal

ldquoIn March 1933 the New Deal was not aplan It was a happy phrase [FDR] hadcoined during the campaign It made peoplefeel better and in that terrible period of depres-sion they needed to feel betterrdquo

EconomicsJobs and Relief

Roosevelt gave high priority to creating jobsHe planned to help the unemployed with workrelief programs giving needy people govern-ment jobs During his first month in office FDRasked Congress to create the Civilian Conserva-tion Corps (CCC) Over the next 10 years theCCC employed about 3 million young men towork on projects that benefited the publicplanting trees to reforest areas building leveesfor flood control and improving national parks

Roosevelt made aid to the poor and sufferinganother priority FDR established the FederalEmergency Relief Administration (FERA) togive money to the states for use in helping peo-ple in need Roosevelt appointed Harry Hop-kins a New York social worker to lead theFERA Hopkins became one of FDRrsquos closestadvisers and got involved in several other NewDeal programs

Roosevelt did not forget agriculture On May12 Congress passed the Agricultural Adjust-ment Act (AAA) The act had two goals toraise farm prices quickly and to control pro-duction so that farm prices would stay up overthe long term

$

In the AAArsquos first year though the supply offood outstripped demand The AAA could raiseprices only by paying farmers to destroy cropsmilk and livestock To many it seemed shockingto throw food away when millions of peoplewent hungry The New Dealers claimed theaction was necessary to bring prices up

To control production and farm prices theAAA paid farmers to leave some of their landuncultivated If market prices of key farm prod-ucts such as wheat and cotton fell below a cer-tain level the AAA would pay farmerssubsidiesmdashgrants of moneymdashto make up thedifference In the first three years of the NewDeal farmersrsquo incomes rose by about 50 percentThe Supreme Court ruled that the AAA wasunconstitutional in United States v Butler (1936)for invading the reserved powers of the states

Rebuilding a RegionOne of the boldest programs launched during

the Hundred Days was the Tennessee ValleyAuthority (TVA) The TVA aimed to control flood-ing promote conservation and development andbring electricity to rural areas along the TennesseeRiver By building new dams and improving oth-ers the TVA ended the regionrsquos disastrous floodsAnd with hydroelectric powergenerating affordable electricitythousands of farms and homes insome Southern states were wiredfor electricity for the first time

Some critics charged thatfunds for the TVA should be usedto support programs nation-wide Power companiesalso attacked the programas unfair and communis-tic When the spring rainscame in 1937 however thesystem workedmdashthe damsprevented the TennesseeRiver from flooding Inthe end most observersagreed that the TVAwas an example ofsuccessful social andeconomic planning

Helping Business and LaborOn the last day of the Hundred Days Congress

passed the National Industrial Recovery Act(NIRA) which Roosevelt called ldquothe most impor-tant and far-reaching legislationrdquo ever passed inthe United States The NIRA aimed to boost theeconomy by helping business regulate itself

Another program that the NIRA launched wasthe Public Works Administration (PWA) Its goalwas to stimulate the economy through the build-ing of huge public works projects that neededlarge numbers of workers The agency employedpeople to work on the construction of roads ship-yards hospitals city halls and schools Many

PWA projectsmdashsuch as New York Cityrsquos LincolnTunnel and Kentuckyrsquos Fort Knoxmdashstill stand ThePWA spent its funds slowly though and did nothave much immediate impact on unemployment

To avoid future banking crises Rooseveltcalled for reform of the nationrsquos financial systemCongress established the Federal Deposit Insur-ance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank depositsThe government guaranteed that money placedin a bank insured by the FDIC would not be lostif the bank failed

Congress also passed a law regulating the saleof stocks and bonds and created the Securitiesand Exchange Commission (SEC) This 1934law gave the SEC the power to punish dishoneststockbrokers and speculators

Assessing the Early New DealThe New Deal did not cure the nationrsquos ills

The Depression dragged on bringing continuedhardship Farmers continued to lose their landUnemployment remained at high levels Manypeople still struggled to survive and to makeends meet

GeographyWhat Caused the Dust Bowl

Using new technology such as tractorsand disc plows farmers had cleared mil-lions of acres of sod for wheat farming Theydid not realize that the roots of the grass hadheld the soil in place When a severedrought struck in 1931 crops died and thesoil dried out Strong prairie winds simplyblew the soil away

Each storm stripped away more soil Onestorm in 1934 carried about 300 million tons ofsoil depositing some of it on ships 300 milesout in the Atlantic Ocean The droughtmdashandthe stormsmdashcontinued for years

People called the storms ldquoblack bliz-zardsrdquo A Texas boy wrote

ldquoThese storms were like rolling black smokeWe had to keep the lights on all day We wentto school with headlights on and with dustmasks onrdquo

Thousands of Dust Bowl farmers went bank-rupt and had to give up their farms About400000 farmers migrated to California andbecame migrant workers moving from place toplace to harvest fruits and vegetables So manycame from Oklahoma that people called themldquoOkiesrdquo One observer described their arrival

ldquoThey came in decrepit [broken-down]square-shouldered [cars] that looked likerelics of some antique culture piled highwith mattresses and cooking utensils and chil-dren with suitcases jugs and sacks strapped tothe running boardsrdquo

Explaining Where did many families move to escape the Dust Bowl

The Plight of MinoritiesThe Depression fell especially hard on the

minority groups who were already on the lowerrungs of the American economic ladder Thesegroups included African Americans NativeAmericans and Hispanic Americans

African AmericansIn the South more than half of the African

American population had no jobs African Amer-icans who lived and worked in Southern citiesfound their jobs taken by white people who hadlost theirs The collapse of farm prices crushedAfrican American farmers

Seeking more opportunity about 400000African American men women and childrenmigrated to Northern cities during the decade ofthe 1930s These migrants did not fare much bet-ter there however The jobless rate for AfricanAmericans remained high

African Americans did make some politicalgains during the Depression President Roose-velt appointed a number of African Americansto federal posts He had a group of advisersknown as the Black Cabinet that includedRobert Weaver a college professor and RalphBunche who worked for the State DepartmentMary McLeod Bethune who establishedBethune-Cookman College in Florida alsoserved as an adviser

African Americans continued to fight againstprejudice In 1939 opera singer Marian Ander-son was denied permission to sing in Constitu-tion Hall because she was black Mrs Roosevelthelped arrange for Anderson to give a historicconcert at the Lincoln Memorial

Native AmericansThe 1930s did bring some benefits to Native

Americans The new head of the Bureau ofIndian Affairs John Collier introduced a set ofreforms known as the Indian New Deal

Hispanic AmericansAt the beginning of the 1930s about two

million people of Hispanic descent lived in theUnited States mostly in California and theSouthwest Many had emigrated from MexicoThey worked as farmers migrant workers andlaborers As the Great Depression deepenedresentment against Mexican Americans grewMany lost their jobs Politicians and laborunions demanded that Mexican Americans beforced to leave the United States

The government encouraged Mexican immi-grants to return to Mexico Authorities gavethem one-way train tickets to Mexico or simplyrounded them up and shipped them southacross the border More than 500000 MexicanAmericans left the United States during the earlyyears of the Depression often involuntarily

Radical Political MovementsHard times helped radical political groups

gain ground in the United States during the1930s Radical groups advocate extreme andimmediate change Socialists and Communistsviewed the Depression not as a temporary eco-nomic problem but as the death of a failed sys-tem They proposed sweeping changes

DUST BOWLDURING THE 1930s dust storms ravaged the GreatPlains This area was labeled the ldquoDust Bowlrdquo Duststorms dubbed ldquodustersrdquo or ldquoblack blizzardsrdquo sweptacross the region darkening the sky and buryingfences fields and even houses and barns

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

RELIEF

New Deal programs finally brought relief to victims of the Dust Bowl In addition to helping migrants thefederal government taught farmers in the Dust Bowl new conservation measures to preserve their land Rains

eventually fell but true prosperity did not returnto America until factories geared up productionfor World War II

Support for Franklin D Rooseveltrsquos efforts to end the Great Depression was far fromunanimous Many wealthy and conservative people attacked the presidentrsquos ldquoradicalrdquopolicies A political cartoon of the 1930s showed a boy writing the word ROOSEVELT onthe sidewalk in front of his rich familyrsquos house His sister calls out ldquoMother Wilfredwrote a bad wordrdquo

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

the economy Although the Liberty League didnot win widespread support its existence con-vinced FDR that big business was against him

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

The WPA also found work for unemployedwriters artists and musicians WPA paintersdecorated the new public buildings withmurals Writers and photographers documentedlife throughout America The writers producedLife in America 150 volumes that recorded folk-tales and songs African American narrativesand Native American traditions

744 CHAPTER 25 The Depression and FDR

Help for Those in NeedBefore the Second New

Deal America was theonly advanced industrialnation without a nationalgovernment program tohelp the needy In August1935 Congress passed theSocial Security Act

The Social Security Act created a tax onworkers and employers That money providedmonthly pensions for retired people Anothertax on employers alone funded unemploy-ment insurance payments to people who losttheir jobs In addition Social Security helpedpeople with disabilities the elderly poor andchildren of parents who could not support them

With the Social Security Act the federal gov-ernment took responsibility for the welfare ofall citizens It launched the American welfaresystem

Explaining How did the govern-ment raise money for Social Security

The Labor MovementLabor unions grew stronger as workers battled

the Depression In 1937 workers at the GeneralMotors plant in Flint Michigan used a new

techniquemdashthe sit-down strikeStrikers continuously occupiedthe plant and refused to workuntil management agreed tonegotiate with them about theirdemands For 44 days families

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

Rooseveltrsquos ldquoCourt-Packingrdquo PlanSoon after his reelection FDR took action to

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The

unpopularity of the court-packing plan how-ever cost Roosevelt a great deal of support andtriggered a split in the Democratic Party

had nearly returned to its 1929 level Believingthat the Depression was finally over Roosevelttried to reduce the governmentrsquos debt by cuttingspending on relief and job programs

ldquoIn March 1933 the New Deal was not aplan It was a happy phrase [FDR] hadcoined during the campaign It made peoplefeel better and in that terrible period of depres-sion they needed to feel betterrdquo

EconomicsJobs and Relief

Roosevelt gave high priority to creating jobsHe planned to help the unemployed with workrelief programs giving needy people govern-ment jobs During his first month in office FDRasked Congress to create the Civilian Conserva-tion Corps (CCC) Over the next 10 years theCCC employed about 3 million young men towork on projects that benefited the publicplanting trees to reforest areas building leveesfor flood control and improving national parks

Roosevelt made aid to the poor and sufferinganother priority FDR established the FederalEmergency Relief Administration (FERA) togive money to the states for use in helping peo-ple in need Roosevelt appointed Harry Hop-kins a New York social worker to lead theFERA Hopkins became one of FDRrsquos closestadvisers and got involved in several other NewDeal programs

Roosevelt did not forget agriculture On May12 Congress passed the Agricultural Adjust-ment Act (AAA) The act had two goals toraise farm prices quickly and to control pro-duction so that farm prices would stay up overthe long term

$

In the AAArsquos first year though the supply offood outstripped demand The AAA could raiseprices only by paying farmers to destroy cropsmilk and livestock To many it seemed shockingto throw food away when millions of peoplewent hungry The New Dealers claimed theaction was necessary to bring prices up

To control production and farm prices theAAA paid farmers to leave some of their landuncultivated If market prices of key farm prod-ucts such as wheat and cotton fell below a cer-tain level the AAA would pay farmerssubsidiesmdashgrants of moneymdashto make up thedifference In the first three years of the NewDeal farmersrsquo incomes rose by about 50 percentThe Supreme Court ruled that the AAA wasunconstitutional in United States v Butler (1936)for invading the reserved powers of the states

Rebuilding a RegionOne of the boldest programs launched during

the Hundred Days was the Tennessee ValleyAuthority (TVA) The TVA aimed to control flood-ing promote conservation and development andbring electricity to rural areas along the TennesseeRiver By building new dams and improving oth-ers the TVA ended the regionrsquos disastrous floodsAnd with hydroelectric powergenerating affordable electricitythousands of farms and homes insome Southern states were wiredfor electricity for the first time

Some critics charged thatfunds for the TVA should be usedto support programs nation-wide Power companiesalso attacked the programas unfair and communis-tic When the spring rainscame in 1937 however thesystem workedmdashthe damsprevented the TennesseeRiver from flooding Inthe end most observersagreed that the TVAwas an example ofsuccessful social andeconomic planning

PWA projectsmdashsuch as New York Cityrsquos LincolnTunnel and Kentuckyrsquos Fort Knoxmdashstill stand ThePWA spent its funds slowly though and did nothave much immediate impact on unemployment

To avoid future banking crises Rooseveltcalled for reform of the nationrsquos financial systemCongress established the Federal Deposit Insur-ance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank depositsThe government guaranteed that money placedin a bank insured by the FDIC would not be lostif the bank failed

Congress also passed a law regulating the saleof stocks and bonds and created the Securitiesand Exchange Commission (SEC) This 1934law gave the SEC the power to punish dishoneststockbrokers and speculators

GeographyWhat Caused the Dust Bowl

Using new technology such as tractorsand disc plows farmers had cleared mil-lions of acres of sod for wheat farming Theydid not realize that the roots of the grass hadheld the soil in place When a severedrought struck in 1931 crops died and thesoil dried out Strong prairie winds simplyblew the soil away

Each storm stripped away more soil Onestorm in 1934 carried about 300 million tons ofsoil depositing some of it on ships 300 milesout in the Atlantic Ocean The droughtmdashandthe stormsmdashcontinued for years

People called the storms ldquoblack bliz-zardsrdquo A Texas boy wrote

ldquoThese storms were like rolling black smokeWe had to keep the lights on all day We wentto school with headlights on and with dustmasks onrdquo

Thousands of Dust Bowl farmers went bank-rupt and had to give up their farms About400000 farmers migrated to California andbecame migrant workers moving from place toplace to harvest fruits and vegetables So manycame from Oklahoma that people called themldquoOkiesrdquo One observer described their arrival

ldquoThey came in decrepit [broken-down]square-shouldered [cars] that looked likerelics of some antique culture piled highwith mattresses and cooking utensils and chil-dren with suitcases jugs and sacks strapped tothe running boardsrdquo

Explaining Where did many families move to escape the Dust Bowl

The Plight of MinoritiesThe Depression fell especially hard on the

minority groups who were already on the lowerrungs of the American economic ladder Thesegroups included African Americans NativeAmericans and Hispanic Americans

African AmericansIn the South more than half of the African

American population had no jobs African Amer-icans who lived and worked in Southern citiesfound their jobs taken by white people who hadlost theirs The collapse of farm prices crushedAfrican American farmers

Seeking more opportunity about 400000African American men women and childrenmigrated to Northern cities during the decade ofthe 1930s These migrants did not fare much bet-ter there however The jobless rate for AfricanAmericans remained high

African Americans did make some politicalgains during the Depression President Roose-velt appointed a number of African Americansto federal posts He had a group of advisersknown as the Black Cabinet that includedRobert Weaver a college professor and RalphBunche who worked for the State DepartmentMary McLeod Bethune who establishedBethune-Cookman College in Florida alsoserved as an adviser

African Americans continued to fight againstprejudice In 1939 opera singer Marian Ander-son was denied permission to sing in Constitu-tion Hall because she was black Mrs Roosevelthelped arrange for Anderson to give a historicconcert at the Lincoln Memorial

Native AmericansThe 1930s did bring some benefits to Native

Americans The new head of the Bureau ofIndian Affairs John Collier introduced a set ofreforms known as the Indian New Deal

Collier halted the sale of reservation land gotjobs for 77000 Native Americans in the CivilianConservation Corps and obtained Public WorksAdministration funds to build new reservationschools Most important he pushed Congress topass the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934This law restored traditional tribal governmentand provided money for land purchases toenlarge some reservations

Hispanic AmericansAt the beginning of the 1930s about two

million people of Hispanic descent lived in theUnited States mostly in California and theSouthwest Many had emigrated from MexicoThey worked as farmers migrant workers andlaborers As the Great Depression deepenedresentment against Mexican Americans grewMany lost their jobs Politicians and laborunions demanded that Mexican Americans beforced to leave the United States

The government encouraged Mexican immi-grants to return to Mexico Authorities gavethem one-way train tickets to Mexico or simplyrounded them up and shipped them southacross the border More than 500000 MexicanAmericans left the United States during the earlyyears of the Depression often involuntarily

Explaining What was the purposeof the Indian Reorganization Act

Radical Political MovementsHard times helped radical political groups

gain ground in the United States during the1930s Radical groups advocate extreme andimmediate change Socialists and Communistsviewed the Depression not as a temporary eco-nomic problem but as the death of a failed sys-tem They proposed sweeping changes

Communism attracted workers minority-rights activists and intellectuals with promisesto end economic and racial injustice Althoughboth socialism and communism had significantinfluence neither became a major political forcein the United States

Explaining What is fascism

Entertainment and the ArtsThe Depression produced two separate

trends in entertainment and the arts One wasescapismmdashlight or romantic entertainment thathelped people forget about their problems Theother was social criticismmdashportraits of the injus-tice and suffering of Depression America

Radio became enormously popular during the1930s Daytime dramas sponsored by laundrydetergents earned the nickname ldquosoap operasrdquoAdventure programs such as Dick Tracy The LoneRanger and Superman had millions of listeners asdid variety shows featuring comedians GeorgeBurns Gracie Allen and Jack Benny

DUST BOWLDURING THE 1930s dust storms ravaged the GreatPlains This area was labeled the ldquoDust Bowlrdquo Duststorms dubbed ldquodustersrdquo or ldquoblack blizzardsrdquo sweptacross the region darkening the sky and buryingfences fields and even houses and barns

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

RELIEF

New Deal programs finally brought relief to victims of the Dust Bowl In addition to helping migrants thefederal government taught farmers in the Dust Bowl new conservation measures to preserve their land Rains

Support for Franklin D Rooseveltrsquos efforts to end the Great Depression was far fromunanimous Many wealthy and conservative people attacked the presidentrsquos ldquoradicalrdquopolicies A political cartoon of the 1930s showed a boy writing the word ROOSEVELT onthe sidewalk in front of his rich familyrsquos house His sister calls out ldquoMother Wilfredwrote a bad wordrdquo

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

the economy Although the Liberty League didnot win widespread support its existence con-vinced FDR that big business was against him

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

The WPA also found work for unemployedwriters artists and musicians WPA paintersdecorated the new public buildings withmurals Writers and photographers documentedlife throughout America The writers producedLife in America 150 volumes that recorded folk-tales and songs African American narrativesand Native American traditions

744 CHAPTER 25 The Depression and FDR

Help for Those in NeedBefore the Second New

Deal America was theonly advanced industrialnation without a nationalgovernment program tohelp the needy In August1935 Congress passed theSocial Security Act

The Social Security Act created a tax onworkers and employers That money providedmonthly pensions for retired people Anothertax on employers alone funded unemploy-ment insurance payments to people who losttheir jobs In addition Social Security helpedpeople with disabilities the elderly poor andchildren of parents who could not support them

With the Social Security Act the federal gov-ernment took responsibility for the welfare ofall citizens It launched the American welfaresystem

Explaining How did the govern-ment raise money for Social Security

The Labor MovementLabor unions grew stronger as workers battled

the Depression In 1937 workers at the GeneralMotors plant in Flint Michigan used a new

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

unpopularity of the court-packing plan how-ever cost Roosevelt a great deal of support andtriggered a split in the Democratic Party

Helping Business and LaborOn the last day of the Hundred Days Congress

passed the National Industrial Recovery Act(NIRA) which Roosevelt called ldquothe most impor-tant and far-reaching legislationrdquo ever passed inthe United States The NIRA aimed to boost theeconomy by helping business regulate itself

The NIRA crea ted the National RecoveryAdministration (NRA)which encouraged busi-nesses to set a minimumwage and abolish childlabor In addition theNRA tried to set upcodes governing pricingand other practices forevery industry HughJohnson a former generalnamed to head the NRA launched a campaignto promote the agency Before long the agencyrsquosblue eagle symbol and sloganmdashldquoWe Do OurPartrdquomdashappeared everywhere

Another program that the NIRA launched wasthe Public Works Administration (PWA) Its goalwas to stimulate the economy through the build-ing of huge public works projects that neededlarge numbers of workers The agency employedpeople to work on the construction of roads ship-yards hospitals city halls and schools Many

PWA projectsmdashsuch as New York Cityrsquos LincolnTunnel and Kentuckyrsquos Fort Knoxmdashstill stand ThePWA spent its funds slowly though and did nothave much immediate impact on unemployment

To avoid future banking crises Rooseveltcalled for reform of the nationrsquos financial systemCongress established the Federal Deposit Insur-ance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank depositsThe government guaranteed that money placedin a bank insured by the FDIC would not be lostif the bank failed

Congress also passed a law regulating the saleof stocks and bonds and created the Securitiesand Exchange Commission (SEC) This 1934law gave the SEC the power to punish dishoneststockbrokers and speculators

The Depression dragged on bringing continuedhardship Farmers continued to lose their landUnemployment remained at high levels Manypeople still struggled to survive and to makeends meet

Yet the darkest days had passed The panic of1932 and 1933 had receded and the flurry ofactivity from the nationrsquos capital had restoredsome measure of confidence

GeographyWhat Caused the Dust Bowl

Using new technology such as tractorsand disc plows farmers had cleared mil-lions of acres of sod for wheat farming Theydid not realize that the roots of the grass hadheld the soil in place When a severedrought struck in 1931 crops died and thesoil dried out Strong prairie winds simplyblew the soil away

Each storm stripped away more soil Onestorm in 1934 carried about 300 million tons ofsoil depositing some of it on ships 300 milesout in the Atlantic Ocean The droughtmdashandthe stormsmdashcontinued for years

People called the storms ldquoblack bliz-zardsrdquo A Texas boy wrote

ldquoThese storms were like rolling black smokeWe had to keep the lights on all day We wentto school with headlights on and with dustmasks onrdquo

Thousands of Dust Bowl farmers went bank-rupt and had to give up their farms About400000 farmers migrated to California andbecame migrant workers moving from place toplace to harvest fruits and vegetables So manycame from Oklahoma that people called themldquoOkiesrdquo One observer described their arrival

ldquoThey came in decrepit [broken-down]square-shouldered [cars] that looked likerelics of some antique culture piled highwith mattresses and cooking utensils and chil-dren with suitcases jugs and sacks strapped tothe running boardsrdquo

Explaining Where did many families move to escape the Dust Bowl

The Plight of MinoritiesThe Depression fell especially hard on the

minority groups who were already on the lowerrungs of the American economic ladder Thesegroups included African Americans NativeAmericans and Hispanic Americans

African AmericansIn the South more than half of the African

American population had no jobs African Amer-icans who lived and worked in Southern citiesfound their jobs taken by white people who hadlost theirs The collapse of farm prices crushedAfrican American farmers

Seeking more opportunity about 400000African American men women and childrenmigrated to Northern cities during the decade ofthe 1930s These migrants did not fare much bet-ter there however The jobless rate for AfricanAmericans remained high

African Americans did make some politicalgains during the Depression President Roose-velt appointed a number of African Americansto federal posts He had a group of advisersknown as the Black Cabinet that includedRobert Weaver a college professor and RalphBunche who worked for the State DepartmentMary McLeod Bethune who establishedBethune-Cookman College in Florida alsoserved as an adviser

African Americans continued to fight againstprejudice In 1939 opera singer Marian Ander-son was denied permission to sing in Constitu-tion Hall because she was black Mrs Roosevelthelped arrange for Anderson to give a historicconcert at the Lincoln Memorial

Native AmericansThe 1930s did bring some benefits to Native

Americans The new head of the Bureau ofIndian Affairs John Collier introduced a set ofreforms known as the Indian New Deal

Collier halted the sale of reservation land gotjobs for 77000 Native Americans in the CivilianConservation Corps and obtained Public WorksAdministration funds to build new reservationschools Most important he pushed Congress topass the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934This law restored traditional tribal governmentand provided money for land purchases toenlarge some reservations

Hispanic AmericansAt the beginning of the 1930s about two

million people of Hispanic descent lived in theUnited States mostly in California and theSouthwest Many had emigrated from MexicoThey worked as farmers migrant workers andlaborers As the Great Depression deepenedresentment against Mexican Americans grewMany lost their jobs Politicians and laborunions demanded that Mexican Americans beforced to leave the United States

The government encouraged Mexican immi-grants to return to Mexico Authorities gavethem one-way train tickets to Mexico or simplyrounded them up and shipped them southacross the border More than 500000 MexicanAmericans left the United States during the earlyyears of the Depression often involuntarily

Explaining What was the purposeof the Indian Reorganization Act

Radical Political MovementsHard times helped radical political groups

gain ground in the United States during the1930s Radical groups advocate extreme andimmediate change Socialists and Communistsviewed the Depression not as a temporary eco-nomic problem but as the death of a failed sys-tem They proposed sweeping changes

Communism attracted workers minority-rights activists and intellectuals with promisesto end economic and racial injustice Althoughboth socialism and communism had significantinfluence neither became a major political forcein the United States

DUST BOWLDURING THE 1930s dust storms ravaged the GreatPlains This area was labeled the ldquoDust Bowlrdquo Duststorms dubbed ldquodustersrdquo or ldquoblack blizzardsrdquo sweptacross the region darkening the sky and buryingfences fields and even houses and barns

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

RELIEF

New Deal programs finally brought relief to victims of the Dust Bowl In addition to helping migrants thefederal government taught farmers in the Dust Bowl new conservation measures to preserve their land Rains

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

733CHAPTER 25 The Depression and FDR

The New Deal Takes ShapeThe new laws that Congress passed during

the Hundred Daysmdashand in the months andyears that followedmdashcame to be called the NewDeal New Deal laws and regulations affectedbanking the stock market industry agriculturepublic works relief for the poor and conserva-tion of resources These laws changed the face ofAmerica dramatically

Frances Perkins Rooseveltrsquos secretary oflabor later recalled those early exciting days ofthe New Deal

ldquoIn March 1933 the New Deal was not aplan It was a happy phrase [FDR] hadcoined during the campaign It made peoplefeel better and in that terrible period of depres-sion they needed to feel betterrdquo

EconomicsJobs and Relief

Roosevelt gave high priority to creating jobsHe planned to help the unemployed with workrelief programs giving needy people govern-ment jobs During his first month in office FDRasked Congress to create the Civilian Conserva-tion Corps (CCC) Over the next 10 years theCCC employed about 3 million young men towork on projects that benefited the publicplanting trees to reforest areas building leveesfor flood control and improving national parks

Roosevelt made aid to the poor and sufferinganother priority FDR established the FederalEmergency Relief Administration (FERA) togive money to the states for use in helping peo-ple in need Roosevelt appointed Harry Hop-kins a New York social worker to lead theFERA Hopkins became one of FDRrsquos closestadvisers and got involved in several other NewDeal programs

Roosevelt did not forget agriculture On May12 Congress passed the Agricultural Adjust-ment Act (AAA) The act had two goals toraise farm prices quickly and to control pro-duction so that farm prices would stay up overthe long term

$

In the AAArsquos first year though the supply offood outstripped demand The AAA could raiseprices only by paying farmers to destroy cropsmilk and livestock To many it seemed shockingto throw food away when millions of peoplewent hungry The New Dealers claimed theaction was necessary to bring prices up

To control production and farm prices theAAA paid farmers to leave some of their landuncultivated If market prices of key farm prod-ucts such as wheat and cotton fell below a cer-tain level the AAA would pay farmerssubsidiesmdashgrants of moneymdashto make up thedifference In the first three years of the NewDeal farmersrsquo incomes rose by about 50 percentThe Supreme Court ruled that the AAA wasunconstitutional in United States v Butler (1936)for invading the reserved powers of the states

Rebuilding a RegionOne of the boldest programs launched during

the Hundred Days was the Tennessee ValleyAuthority (TVA) The TVA aimed to control flood-ing promote conservation and development andbring electricity to rural areas along the TennesseeRiver By building new dams and improving oth-ers the TVA ended the regionrsquos disastrous floodsAnd with hydroelectric powergenerating affordable electricitythousands of farms and homes insome Southern states were wiredfor electricity for the first time

Some critics charged thatfunds for the TVA should be usedto support programs nation-wide Power companiesalso attacked the programas unfair and communis-tic When the spring rainscame in 1937 however thesystem workedmdashthe damsprevented the TennesseeRiver from flooding Inthe end most observersagreed that the TVAwas an example ofsuccessful social andeconomic planning

Helping Business and LaborOn the last day of the Hundred Days Congress

passed the National Industrial Recovery Act(NIRA) which Roosevelt called ldquothe most impor-tant and far-reaching legislationrdquo ever passed inthe United States The NIRA aimed to boost theeconomy by helping business regulate itself

The NIRA crea ted the National RecoveryAdministration (NRA)which encouraged busi-nesses to set a minimumwage and abolish childlabor In addition theNRA tried to set upcodes governing pricingand other practices forevery industry HughJohnson a former generalnamed to head the NRA launched a campaignto promote the agency Before long the agencyrsquosblue eagle symbol and sloganmdashldquoWe Do OurPartrdquomdashappeared everywhere

Another program that the NIRA launched wasthe Public Works Administration (PWA) Its goalwas to stimulate the economy through the build-ing of huge public works projects that neededlarge numbers of workers The agency employedpeople to work on the construction of roads ship-yards hospitals city halls and schools Many

PWA projectsmdashsuch as New York Cityrsquos LincolnTunnel and Kentuckyrsquos Fort Knoxmdashstill stand ThePWA spent its funds slowly though and did nothave much immediate impact on unemployment

To avoid future banking crises Rooseveltcalled for reform of the nationrsquos financial systemCongress established the Federal Deposit Insur-ance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank depositsThe government guaranteed that money placedin a bank insured by the FDIC would not be lostif the bank failed

Congress also passed a law regulating the saleof stocks and bonds and created the Securitiesand Exchange Commission (SEC) This 1934law gave the SEC the power to punish dishoneststockbrokers and speculators

Assessing the Early New DealThe New Deal did not cure the nationrsquos ills

The Depression dragged on bringing continuedhardship Farmers continued to lose their landUnemployment remained at high levels Manypeople still struggled to survive and to makeends meet

Yet the darkest days had passed The panic of1932 and 1933 had receded and the flurry ofactivity from the nationrsquos capital had restoredsome measure of confidence

GeographyWhat Caused the Dust Bowl

Using new technology such as tractorsand disc plows farmers had cleared mil-lions of acres of sod for wheat farming Theydid not realize that the roots of the grass hadheld the soil in place When a severedrought struck in 1931 crops died and thesoil dried out Strong prairie winds simplyblew the soil away

Each storm stripped away more soil Onestorm in 1934 carried about 300 million tons ofsoil depositing some of it on ships 300 milesout in the Atlantic Ocean The droughtmdashandthe stormsmdashcontinued for years

People called the storms ldquoblack bliz-zardsrdquo A Texas boy wrote

ldquoThese storms were like rolling black smokeWe had to keep the lights on all day We wentto school with headlights on and with dustmasks onrdquo

Thousands of Dust Bowl farmers went bank-rupt and had to give up their farms About400000 farmers migrated to California andbecame migrant workers moving from place toplace to harvest fruits and vegetables So manycame from Oklahoma that people called themldquoOkiesrdquo One observer described their arrival

ldquoThey came in decrepit [broken-down]square-shouldered [cars] that looked likerelics of some antique culture piled highwith mattresses and cooking utensils and chil-dren with suitcases jugs and sacks strapped tothe running boardsrdquo

Explaining Where did many families move to escape the Dust Bowl

The Plight of MinoritiesThe Depression fell especially hard on the

minority groups who were already on the lowerrungs of the American economic ladder Thesegroups included African Americans NativeAmericans and Hispanic Americans

African AmericansIn the South more than half of the African

American population had no jobs African Amer-icans who lived and worked in Southern citiesfound their jobs taken by white people who hadlost theirs The collapse of farm prices crushedAfrican American farmers

Seeking more opportunity about 400000African American men women and childrenmigrated to Northern cities during the decade ofthe 1930s These migrants did not fare much bet-ter there however The jobless rate for AfricanAmericans remained high

African Americans did make some politicalgains during the Depression President Roose-velt appointed a number of African Americansto federal posts He had a group of advisersknown as the Black Cabinet that includedRobert Weaver a college professor and RalphBunche who worked for the State DepartmentMary McLeod Bethune who establishedBethune-Cookman College in Florida alsoserved as an adviser

African Americans continued to fight againstprejudice In 1939 opera singer Marian Ander-son was denied permission to sing in Constitu-tion Hall because she was black Mrs Roosevelthelped arrange for Anderson to give a historicconcert at the Lincoln Memorial

Native AmericansThe 1930s did bring some benefits to Native

Americans The new head of the Bureau ofIndian Affairs John Collier introduced a set ofreforms known as the Indian New Deal

Collier halted the sale of reservation land gotjobs for 77000 Native Americans in the CivilianConservation Corps and obtained Public WorksAdministration funds to build new reservationschools Most important he pushed Congress topass the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934This law restored traditional tribal governmentand provided money for land purchases toenlarge some reservations

Hispanic AmericansAt the beginning of the 1930s about two

million people of Hispanic descent lived in theUnited States mostly in California and theSouthwest Many had emigrated from MexicoThey worked as farmers migrant workers andlaborers As the Great Depression deepenedresentment against Mexican Americans grewMany lost their jobs Politicians and laborunions demanded that Mexican Americans beforced to leave the United States

The government encouraged Mexican immi-grants to return to Mexico Authorities gavethem one-way train tickets to Mexico or simplyrounded them up and shipped them southacross the border More than 500000 MexicanAmericans left the United States during the earlyyears of the Depression often involuntarily

Explaining What was the purposeof the Indian Reorganization Act

Radical Political MovementsHard times helped radical political groups

gain ground in the United States during the1930s Radical groups advocate extreme andimmediate change Socialists and Communistsviewed the Depression not as a temporary eco-nomic problem but as the death of a failed sys-tem They proposed sweeping changes

Communism attracted workers minority-rights activists and intellectuals with promisesto end economic and racial injustice Althoughboth socialism and communism had significantinfluence neither became a major political forcein the United States

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The

Helping Business and LaborOn the last day of the Hundred Days Congress

passed the National Industrial Recovery Act(NIRA) which Roosevelt called ldquothe most impor-tant and far-reaching legislationrdquo ever passed inthe United States The NIRA aimed to boost theeconomy by helping business regulate itself

The NIRA crea ted the National RecoveryAdministration (NRA)which encouraged busi-nesses to set a minimumwage and abolish childlabor In addition theNRA tried to set upcodes governing pricingand other practices forevery industry HughJohnson a former generalnamed to head the NRA launched a campaignto promote the agency Before long the agencyrsquosblue eagle symbol and sloganmdashldquoWe Do OurPartrdquomdashappeared everywhere

Another program that the NIRA launched wasthe Public Works Administration (PWA) Its goalwas to stimulate the economy through the build-ing of huge public works projects that neededlarge numbers of workers The agency employedpeople to work on the construction of roads ship-yards hospitals city halls and schools Many

PWA projectsmdashsuch as New York Cityrsquos LincolnTunnel and Kentuckyrsquos Fort Knoxmdashstill stand ThePWA spent its funds slowly though and did nothave much immediate impact on unemployment

To avoid future banking crises Rooseveltcalled for reform of the nationrsquos financial systemCongress established the Federal Deposit Insur-ance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank depositsThe government guaranteed that money placedin a bank insured by the FDIC would not be lostif the bank failed

Congress also passed a law regulating the saleof stocks and bonds and created the Securitiesand Exchange Commission (SEC) This 1934law gave the SEC the power to punish dishoneststockbrokers and speculators

Assessing the Early New DealThe New Deal did not cure the nationrsquos ills

The Depression dragged on bringing continuedhardship Farmers continued to lose their landUnemployment remained at high levels Manypeople still struggled to survive and to makeends meet

Yet the darkest days had passed The panic of1932 and 1933 had receded and the flurry ofactivity from the nationrsquos capital had restoredsome measure of confidence

Women Go to WorkMany people thought that women should

not hold jobs as long as men were unemployedDespite such prejudices desperation drove alarge number of women into the workforceMany families survived on a womanrsquosincomemdasheven though American womenearned less than men

Women also worked harder at home to makeends meet Instead of buying clothes or gro-ceries they sewed their own clothing bakedtheir own bread and canned their own vegeta-bles Some women started home businessessuch as laundries or boardinghouses

GeographyWhat Caused the Dust Bowl

Using new technology such as tractorsand disc plows farmers had cleared mil-lions of acres of sod for wheat farming Theydid not realize that the roots of the grass hadheld the soil in place When a severedrought struck in 1931 crops died and thesoil dried out Strong prairie winds simplyblew the soil away

Each storm stripped away more soil Onestorm in 1934 carried about 300 million tons ofsoil depositing some of it on ships 300 milesout in the Atlantic Ocean The droughtmdashandthe stormsmdashcontinued for years

People called the storms ldquoblack bliz-zardsrdquo A Texas boy wrote

ldquoThese storms were like rolling black smokeWe had to keep the lights on all day We wentto school with headlights on and with dustmasks onrdquo

Thousands of Dust Bowl farmers went bank-rupt and had to give up their farms About400000 farmers migrated to California andbecame migrant workers moving from place toplace to harvest fruits and vegetables So manycame from Oklahoma that people called themldquoOkiesrdquo One observer described their arrival

ldquoThey came in decrepit [broken-down]square-shouldered [cars] that looked likerelics of some antique culture piled highwith mattresses and cooking utensils and chil-dren with suitcases jugs and sacks strapped tothe running boardsrdquo

Explaining Where did many families move to escape the Dust Bowl

The Plight of MinoritiesThe Depression fell especially hard on the

minority groups who were already on the lowerrungs of the American economic ladder Thesegroups included African Americans NativeAmericans and Hispanic Americans

African AmericansIn the South more than half of the African

American population had no jobs African Amer-icans who lived and worked in Southern citiesfound their jobs taken by white people who hadlost theirs The collapse of farm prices crushedAfrican American farmers

Seeking more opportunity about 400000African American men women and childrenmigrated to Northern cities during the decade ofthe 1930s These migrants did not fare much bet-ter there however The jobless rate for AfricanAmericans remained high

African Americans did make some politicalgains during the Depression President Roose-velt appointed a number of African Americansto federal posts He had a group of advisersknown as the Black Cabinet that includedRobert Weaver a college professor and RalphBunche who worked for the State DepartmentMary McLeod Bethune who establishedBethune-Cookman College in Florida alsoserved as an adviser

African Americans continued to fight againstprejudice In 1939 opera singer Marian Ander-son was denied permission to sing in Constitu-tion Hall because she was black Mrs Roosevelthelped arrange for Anderson to give a historicconcert at the Lincoln Memorial

Native AmericansThe 1930s did bring some benefits to Native

Americans The new head of the Bureau ofIndian Affairs John Collier introduced a set ofreforms known as the Indian New Deal

Collier halted the sale of reservation land gotjobs for 77000 Native Americans in the CivilianConservation Corps and obtained Public WorksAdministration funds to build new reservationschools Most important he pushed Congress topass the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934This law restored traditional tribal governmentand provided money for land purchases toenlarge some reservations

Hispanic AmericansAt the beginning of the 1930s about two

million people of Hispanic descent lived in theUnited States mostly in California and theSouthwest Many had emigrated from MexicoThey worked as farmers migrant workers andlaborers As the Great Depression deepenedresentment against Mexican Americans grewMany lost their jobs Politicians and laborunions demanded that Mexican Americans beforced to leave the United States

The government encouraged Mexican immi-grants to return to Mexico Authorities gavethem one-way train tickets to Mexico or simplyrounded them up and shipped them southacross the border More than 500000 MexicanAmericans left the United States during the earlyyears of the Depression often involuntarily

Explaining What was the purposeof the Indian Reorganization Act

Radical Political MovementsHard times helped radical political groups

gain ground in the United States during the1930s Radical groups advocate extreme andimmediate change Socialists and Communistsviewed the Depression not as a temporary eco-nomic problem but as the death of a failed sys-tem They proposed sweeping changes

Communism attracted workers minority-rights activists and intellectuals with promisesto end economic and racial injustice Althoughboth socialism and communism had significantinfluence neither became a major political forcein the United States

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

RELIEF

New Deal programs finally brought relief to victims of the Dust Bowl In addition to helping migrants thefederal government taught farmers in the Dust Bowl new conservation measures to preserve their land Rains

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

The WPA also found work for unemployedwriters artists and musicians WPA paintersdecorated the new public buildings withmurals Writers and photographers documentedlife throughout America The writers producedLife in America 150 volumes that recorded folk-tales and songs African American narrativesand Native American traditions

Help for Those in NeedBefore the Second New

Deal America was theonly advanced industrialnation without a nationalgovernment program tohelp the needy In August1935 Congress passed theSocial Security Act

The Social Security Act created a tax onworkers and employers That money providedmonthly pensions for retired people Anothertax on employers alone funded unemploy-ment insurance payments to people who losttheir jobs In addition Social Security helpedpeople with disabilities the elderly poor andchildren of parents who could not support them

With the Social Security Act the federal gov-ernment took responsibility for the welfare ofall citizens It launched the American welfaresystem

Explaining How did the govern-ment raise money for Social Security

The Labor MovementLabor unions grew stronger as workers battled

the Depression In 1937 workers at the GeneralMotors plant in Flint Michigan used a new

techniquemdashthe sit-down strikeStrikers continuously occupiedthe plant and refused to workuntil management agreed tonegotiate with them about theirdemands For 44 days families

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

On Election Day FDR received 61 percent of the popular vote the biggest landslide in anAmerican presidential election to that timeRooseveltrsquos support came from progressives andliberals the poor and unemployed urban work-ers and African Americans These groupswould form the core of the Democratic Party fordecades to come

Rooseveltrsquos ldquoCourt-Packingrdquo PlanSoon after his reelection FDR took action to

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The

unpopularity of the court-packing plan how-ever cost Roosevelt a great deal of support andtriggered a split in the Democratic Party

had nearly returned to its 1929 level Believingthat the Depression was finally over Roosevelttried to reduce the governmentrsquos debt by cuttingspending on relief and job programs

The economy faltered immediately Farmprices dropped Four million people lost theirjobs Times nearly as hard as 1932ndash1933returned The new economic downturn knownto some as the Roosevelt Recession lasted into1938 Roosevelt helped to reverse it with a floodof government spending on public works

Drewrsquos researchchanged transfusionmethods so that storedplasma could be given to soldiers wounded onthe battlefieldmdasha med-ical advance that savedmany lives Drew laterresigned to protest themilitaryrsquos decision tomaintain racially segre-gated blood banks

The strain shattered other families howeverNearly two million menmdashand a much smallernumber of womenmdashabandoned their homesThey took to the road drifting to warm placessuch as Florida and California

Women Go to WorkMany people thought that women should

not hold jobs as long as men were unemployedDespite such prejudices desperation drove alarge number of women into the workforceMany families survived on a womanrsquosincomemdasheven though American womenearned less than men

Women also worked harder at home to makeends meet Instead of buying clothes or gro-ceries they sewed their own clothing bakedtheir own bread and canned their own vegeta-bles Some women started home businessessuch as laundries or boardinghouses

The New Deal era opened doors for womenin public life President Roosevelt appointed thefirst woman ever to serve in the cabinet FrancesPerkins He also named more than 100 otherwomen to federal posts OnemdashEllen Sullivan

GeographyWhat Caused the Dust Bowl

Using new technology such as tractorsand disc plows farmers had cleared mil-lions of acres of sod for wheat farming Theydid not realize that the roots of the grass hadheld the soil in place When a severedrought struck in 1931 crops died and thesoil dried out Strong prairie winds simplyblew the soil away

Each storm stripped away more soil Onestorm in 1934 carried about 300 million tons ofsoil depositing some of it on ships 300 milesout in the Atlantic Ocean The droughtmdashandthe stormsmdashcontinued for years

People called the storms ldquoblack bliz-zardsrdquo A Texas boy wrote

ldquoThese storms were like rolling black smokeWe had to keep the lights on all day We wentto school with headlights on and with dustmasks onrdquo

Thousands of Dust Bowl farmers went bank-rupt and had to give up their farms About400000 farmers migrated to California andbecame migrant workers moving from place toplace to harvest fruits and vegetables So manycame from Oklahoma that people called themldquoOkiesrdquo One observer described their arrival

ldquoThey came in decrepit [broken-down]square-shouldered [cars] that looked likerelics of some antique culture piled highwith mattresses and cooking utensils and chil-dren with suitcases jugs and sacks strapped tothe running boardsrdquo

Explaining Where did many families move to escape the Dust Bowl

The Plight of MinoritiesThe Depression fell especially hard on the

minority groups who were already on the lowerrungs of the American economic ladder Thesegroups included African Americans NativeAmericans and Hispanic Americans

African AmericansIn the South more than half of the African

American population had no jobs African Amer-icans who lived and worked in Southern citiesfound their jobs taken by white people who hadlost theirs The collapse of farm prices crushedAfrican American farmers

Seeking more opportunity about 400000African American men women and childrenmigrated to Northern cities during the decade ofthe 1930s These migrants did not fare much bet-ter there however The jobless rate for AfricanAmericans remained high

African Americans did make some politicalgains during the Depression President Roose-velt appointed a number of African Americansto federal posts He had a group of advisersknown as the Black Cabinet that includedRobert Weaver a college professor and RalphBunche who worked for the State DepartmentMary McLeod Bethune who establishedBethune-Cookman College in Florida alsoserved as an adviser

African Americans continued to fight againstprejudice In 1939 opera singer Marian Ander-son was denied permission to sing in Constitu-tion Hall because she was black Mrs Roosevelthelped arrange for Anderson to give a historicconcert at the Lincoln Memorial

Native AmericansThe 1930s did bring some benefits to Native

Americans The new head of the Bureau ofIndian Affairs John Collier introduced a set ofreforms known as the Indian New Deal

Collier halted the sale of reservation land gotjobs for 77000 Native Americans in the CivilianConservation Corps and obtained Public WorksAdministration funds to build new reservationschools Most important he pushed Congress topass the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934This law restored traditional tribal governmentand provided money for land purchases toenlarge some reservations

Hispanic AmericansAt the beginning of the 1930s about two

million people of Hispanic descent lived in theUnited States mostly in California and theSouthwest Many had emigrated from MexicoThey worked as farmers migrant workers andlaborers As the Great Depression deepenedresentment against Mexican Americans grewMany lost their jobs Politicians and laborunions demanded that Mexican Americans beforced to leave the United States

The government encouraged Mexican immi-grants to return to Mexico Authorities gavethem one-way train tickets to Mexico or simplyrounded them up and shipped them southacross the border More than 500000 MexicanAmericans left the United States during the earlyyears of the Depression often involuntarily

Explaining What was the purposeof the Indian Reorganization Act

Radical Political MovementsHard times helped radical political groups

gain ground in the United States during the1930s Radical groups advocate extreme andimmediate change Socialists and Communistsviewed the Depression not as a temporary eco-nomic problem but as the death of a failed sys-tem They proposed sweeping changes

Communism attracted workers minority-rights activists and intellectuals with promisesto end economic and racial injustice Althoughboth socialism and communism had significantinfluence neither became a major political forcein the United States

DUST BOWLDURING THE 1930s dust storms ravaged the GreatPlains This area was labeled the ldquoDust Bowlrdquo Duststorms dubbed ldquodustersrdquo or ldquoblack blizzardsrdquo sweptacross the region darkening the sky and buryingfences fields and even houses and barns

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

RELIEF

New Deal programs finally brought relief to victims of the Dust Bowl In addition to helping migrants thefederal government taught farmers in the Dust Bowl new conservation measures to preserve their land Rains

Support for Franklin D Rooseveltrsquos efforts to end the Great Depression was far fromunanimous Many wealthy and conservative people attacked the presidentrsquos ldquoradicalrdquopolicies A political cartoon of the 1930s showed a boy writing the word ROOSEVELT onthe sidewalk in front of his rich familyrsquos house His sister calls out ldquoMother Wilfredwrote a bad wordrdquo

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

Help for Those in NeedBefore the Second New

Deal America was theonly advanced industrialnation without a nationalgovernment program tohelp the needy In August1935 Congress passed theSocial Security Act

The Social Security Act created a tax onworkers and employers That money providedmonthly pensions for retired people Anothertax on employers alone funded unemploy-ment insurance payments to people who losttheir jobs In addition Social Security helpedpeople with disabilities the elderly poor andchildren of parents who could not support them

With the Social Security Act the federal gov-ernment took responsibility for the welfare ofall citizens It launched the American welfaresystem

Explaining How did the govern-ment raise money for Social Security

The Labor MovementLabor unions grew stronger as workers battled

the Depression In 1937 workers at the GeneralMotors plant in Flint Michigan used a new

techniquemdashthe sit-down strikeStrikers continuously occupiedthe plant and refused to workuntil management agreed tonegotiate with them about theirdemands For 44 days families

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

On Election Day FDR received 61 percent of the popular vote the biggest landslide in anAmerican presidential election to that timeRooseveltrsquos support came from progressives andliberals the poor and unemployed urban work-ers and African Americans These groupswould form the core of the Democratic Party fordecades to come

Rooseveltrsquos ldquoCourt-Packingrdquo PlanSoon after his reelection FDR took action to

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The

unpopularity of the court-packing plan how-ever cost Roosevelt a great deal of support andtriggered a split in the Democratic Party

had nearly returned to its 1929 level Believingthat the Depression was finally over Roosevelttried to reduce the governmentrsquos debt by cuttingspending on relief and job programs

The economy faltered immediately Farmprices dropped Four million people lost theirjobs Times nearly as hard as 1932ndash1933returned The new economic downturn knownto some as the Roosevelt Recession lasted into1938 Roosevelt helped to reverse it with a floodof government spending on public works

African AmericanCharles Drew was bornand raised in the segre-gated city of WashingtonDC and refused to letracial prejudice stop himHis early interests werein education particularlyin medicine but he wasalso an outstanding ath-lete He starred at DunbarHigh School in footballbaseball basketball andtrack and field

He graduated fromAmherst College in Mass-achusetts and earned his medical degree atCanadarsquos McGill Univer-sity In the 1930s Drewconducted pioneeringresearch on blood plasmaand he created the modelfor blood and plasma stor-age that is used by theRed Cross today Whenthe United States enteredWorld War II Drew was

in charge of the militaryrsquosblood plasma program

Drewrsquos researchchanged transfusionmethods so that storedplasma could be given to soldiers wounded onthe battlefieldmdasha med-ical advance that savedmany lives Drew laterresigned to protest themilitaryrsquos decision tomaintain racially segre-gated blood banks

The strain shattered other families howeverNearly two million menmdashand a much smallernumber of womenmdashabandoned their homesThey took to the road drifting to warm placessuch as Florida and California

Women Go to WorkMany people thought that women should

not hold jobs as long as men were unemployedDespite such prejudices desperation drove alarge number of women into the workforceMany families survived on a womanrsquosincomemdasheven though American womenearned less than men

Women also worked harder at home to makeends meet Instead of buying clothes or gro-ceries they sewed their own clothing bakedtheir own bread and canned their own vegeta-bles Some women started home businessessuch as laundries or boardinghouses

The New Deal era opened doors for womenin public life President Roosevelt appointed thefirst woman ever to serve in the cabinet FrancesPerkins He also named more than 100 otherwomen to federal posts OnemdashEllen Sullivan

Woodwardmdashstarted a program to give jobs towomen In 1932 Hattie Caraway of Arkansasbecame the first woman to be elected to theUnited States Senate

The best-known woman in American publiclife was Eleanor Roosevelt who often acted asher husbandrsquos ldquoeyes and earsrdquo She made manyfact-finding trips for the president because poliohad limited his mobility Mrs Roosevelt cam-paigned vigorously for women and minoritiesand other humanitarian concerns She wrote adaily newspaper column and used her bound-less energy to meet people all over the country

Identifying Who was the firstwoman to serve in a presidentrsquos cabinet How many otherwomen were appointed to federal posts at this time

The Dust BowlTo make matters worse the southern Great

GeographyWhat Caused the Dust Bowl

Using new technology such as tractorsand disc plows farmers had cleared mil-lions of acres of sod for wheat farming Theydid not realize that the roots of the grass hadheld the soil in place When a severedrought struck in 1931 crops died and thesoil dried out Strong prairie winds simplyblew the soil away

Each storm stripped away more soil Onestorm in 1934 carried about 300 million tons ofsoil depositing some of it on ships 300 milesout in the Atlantic Ocean The droughtmdashandthe stormsmdashcontinued for years

People called the storms ldquoblack bliz-zardsrdquo A Texas boy wrote

ldquoThese storms were like rolling black smokeWe had to keep the lights on all day We wentto school with headlights on and with dustmasks onrdquo

Thousands of Dust Bowl farmers went bank-rupt and had to give up their farms About400000 farmers migrated to California andbecame migrant workers moving from place toplace to harvest fruits and vegetables So manycame from Oklahoma that people called themldquoOkiesrdquo One observer described their arrival

ldquoThey came in decrepit [broken-down]square-shouldered [cars] that looked likerelics of some antique culture piled highwith mattresses and cooking utensils and chil-dren with suitcases jugs and sacks strapped tothe running boardsrdquo

Explaining Where did many families move to escape the Dust Bowl

The Plight of MinoritiesThe Depression fell especially hard on the

minority groups who were already on the lowerrungs of the American economic ladder Thesegroups included African Americans NativeAmericans and Hispanic Americans

African AmericansIn the South more than half of the African

American population had no jobs African Amer-icans who lived and worked in Southern citiesfound their jobs taken by white people who hadlost theirs The collapse of farm prices crushedAfrican American farmers

Seeking more opportunity about 400000African American men women and childrenmigrated to Northern cities during the decade ofthe 1930s These migrants did not fare much bet-ter there however The jobless rate for AfricanAmericans remained high

African Americans did make some politicalgains during the Depression President Roose-velt appointed a number of African Americansto federal posts He had a group of advisersknown as the Black Cabinet that includedRobert Weaver a college professor and RalphBunche who worked for the State DepartmentMary McLeod Bethune who establishedBethune-Cookman College in Florida alsoserved as an adviser

African Americans continued to fight againstprejudice In 1939 opera singer Marian Ander-son was denied permission to sing in Constitu-tion Hall because she was black Mrs Roosevelthelped arrange for Anderson to give a historicconcert at the Lincoln Memorial

Native AmericansThe 1930s did bring some benefits to Native

Americans The new head of the Bureau ofIndian Affairs John Collier introduced a set ofreforms known as the Indian New Deal

Collier halted the sale of reservation land gotjobs for 77000 Native Americans in the CivilianConservation Corps and obtained Public WorksAdministration funds to build new reservationschools Most important he pushed Congress topass the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934This law restored traditional tribal governmentand provided money for land purchases toenlarge some reservations

Hispanic AmericansAt the beginning of the 1930s about two

million people of Hispanic descent lived in theUnited States mostly in California and theSouthwest Many had emigrated from MexicoThey worked as farmers migrant workers andlaborers As the Great Depression deepenedresentment against Mexican Americans grewMany lost their jobs Politicians and laborunions demanded that Mexican Americans beforced to leave the United States

The government encouraged Mexican immi-grants to return to Mexico Authorities gavethem one-way train tickets to Mexico or simplyrounded them up and shipped them southacross the border More than 500000 MexicanAmericans left the United States during the earlyyears of the Depression often involuntarily

Explaining What was the purposeof the Indian Reorganization Act

Radical Political MovementsHard times helped radical political groups

gain ground in the United States during the1930s Radical groups advocate extreme andimmediate change Socialists and Communistsviewed the Depression not as a temporary eco-nomic problem but as the death of a failed sys-tem They proposed sweeping changes

Communism attracted workers minority-rights activists and intellectuals with promisesto end economic and racial injustice Althoughboth socialism and communism had significantinfluence neither became a major political forcein the United States

Explaining What is fascism

Entertainment and the ArtsThe Depression produced two separate

trends in entertainment and the arts One wasescapismmdashlight or romantic entertainment thathelped people forget about their problems Theother was social criticismmdashportraits of the injus-tice and suffering of Depression America

DUST BOWLDURING THE 1930s dust storms ravaged the GreatPlains This area was labeled the ldquoDust Bowlrdquo Duststorms dubbed ldquodustersrdquo or ldquoblack blizzardsrdquo sweptacross the region darkening the sky and buryingfences fields and even houses and barns

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

RELIEF

New Deal programs finally brought relief to victims of the Dust Bowl In addition to helping migrants thefederal government taught farmers in the Dust Bowl new conservation measures to preserve their land Rains

Support for Franklin D Rooseveltrsquos efforts to end the Great Depression was far fromunanimous Many wealthy and conservative people attacked the presidentrsquos ldquoradicalrdquopolicies A political cartoon of the 1930s showed a boy writing the word ROOSEVELT onthe sidewalk in front of his rich familyrsquos house His sister calls out ldquoMother Wilfredwrote a bad wordrdquo

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

the economy Although the Liberty League didnot win widespread support its existence con-vinced FDR that big business was against him

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

Help for Those in NeedBefore the Second New

Deal America was theonly advanced industrialnation without a nationalgovernment program tohelp the needy In August1935 Congress passed theSocial Security Act

The Social Security Act created a tax onworkers and employers That money providedmonthly pensions for retired people Anothertax on employers alone funded unemploy-ment insurance payments to people who losttheir jobs In addition Social Security helpedpeople with disabilities the elderly poor andchildren of parents who could not support them

With the Social Security Act the federal gov-ernment took responsibility for the welfare ofall citizens It launched the American welfaresystem

Explaining How did the govern-ment raise money for Social Security

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

On Election Day FDR received 61 percent of the popular vote the biggest landslide in anAmerican presidential election to that timeRooseveltrsquos support came from progressives andliberals the poor and unemployed urban work-ers and African Americans These groupswould form the core of the Democratic Party fordecades to come

Rooseveltrsquos ldquoCourt-Packingrdquo PlanSoon after his reelection FDR took action to

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The

unpopularity of the court-packing plan how-ever cost Roosevelt a great deal of support andtriggered a split in the Democratic Party

had nearly returned to its 1929 level Believingthat the Depression was finally over Roosevelttried to reduce the governmentrsquos debt by cuttingspending on relief and job programs

The economy faltered immediately Farmprices dropped Four million people lost theirjobs Times nearly as hard as 1932ndash1933returned The new economic downturn knownto some as the Roosevelt Recession lasted into1938 Roosevelt helped to reverse it with a floodof government spending on public works

GeographyWhat Caused the Dust Bowl

Using new technology such as tractorsand disc plows farmers had cleared mil-lions of acres of sod for wheat farming Theydid not realize that the roots of the grass hadheld the soil in place When a severedrought struck in 1931 crops died and thesoil dried out Strong prairie winds simplyblew the soil away

Each storm stripped away more soil Onestorm in 1934 carried about 300 million tons ofsoil depositing some of it on ships 300 milesout in the Atlantic Ocean The droughtmdashandthe stormsmdashcontinued for years

People called the storms ldquoblack bliz-zardsrdquo A Texas boy wrote

ldquoThese storms were like rolling black smokeWe had to keep the lights on all day We wentto school with headlights on and with dustmasks onrdquo

Thousands of Dust Bowl farmers went bank-rupt and had to give up their farms About400000 farmers migrated to California andbecame migrant workers moving from place toplace to harvest fruits and vegetables So manycame from Oklahoma that people called themldquoOkiesrdquo One observer described their arrival

ldquoThey came in decrepit [broken-down]square-shouldered [cars] that looked likerelics of some antique culture piled highwith mattresses and cooking utensils and chil-dren with suitcases jugs and sacks strapped tothe running boardsrdquo

Explaining Where did many families move to escape the Dust Bowl

The Plight of MinoritiesThe Depression fell especially hard on the

minority groups who were already on the lowerrungs of the American economic ladder Thesegroups included African Americans NativeAmericans and Hispanic Americans

African AmericansIn the South more than half of the African

American population had no jobs African Amer-icans who lived and worked in Southern citiesfound their jobs taken by white people who hadlost theirs The collapse of farm prices crushedAfrican American farmers

Seeking more opportunity about 400000African American men women and childrenmigrated to Northern cities during the decade ofthe 1930s These migrants did not fare much bet-ter there however The jobless rate for AfricanAmericans remained high

African Americans did make some politicalgains during the Depression President Roose-velt appointed a number of African Americansto federal posts He had a group of advisersknown as the Black Cabinet that includedRobert Weaver a college professor and RalphBunche who worked for the State DepartmentMary McLeod Bethune who establishedBethune-Cookman College in Florida alsoserved as an adviser

African Americans continued to fight againstprejudice In 1939 opera singer Marian Ander-son was denied permission to sing in Constitu-tion Hall because she was black Mrs Roosevelthelped arrange for Anderson to give a historicconcert at the Lincoln Memorial

Native AmericansThe 1930s did bring some benefits to Native

Americans The new head of the Bureau ofIndian Affairs John Collier introduced a set ofreforms known as the Indian New Deal

Collier halted the sale of reservation land gotjobs for 77000 Native Americans in the CivilianConservation Corps and obtained Public WorksAdministration funds to build new reservationschools Most important he pushed Congress topass the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934This law restored traditional tribal governmentand provided money for land purchases toenlarge some reservations

Hispanic AmericansAt the beginning of the 1930s about two

million people of Hispanic descent lived in theUnited States mostly in California and theSouthwest Many had emigrated from MexicoThey worked as farmers migrant workers andlaborers As the Great Depression deepenedresentment against Mexican Americans grewMany lost their jobs Politicians and laborunions demanded that Mexican Americans beforced to leave the United States

The government encouraged Mexican immi-grants to return to Mexico Authorities gavethem one-way train tickets to Mexico or simplyrounded them up and shipped them southacross the border More than 500000 MexicanAmericans left the United States during the earlyyears of the Depression often involuntarily

Explaining What was the purposeof the Indian Reorganization Act

Radical Political MovementsHard times helped radical political groups

gain ground in the United States during the1930s Radical groups advocate extreme andimmediate change Socialists and Communistsviewed the Depression not as a temporary eco-nomic problem but as the death of a failed sys-tem They proposed sweeping changes

Communism attracted workers minority-rights activists and intellectuals with promisesto end economic and racial injustice Althoughboth socialism and communism had significantinfluence neither became a major political forcein the United States

Another political development that caughtthe attention of many Americans was the rise offascists in Germany and Italy Fascism is a polit-ical philosophy that holds the individual sec-ond to the nation and advocates government bydictatorship In 1936 the Spanish Civil Warbegan Germany and Italy supported fascistswho were trying to take over the Spanish gov-ernment Although the United States remainedneutral more than 3000 Americans went toSpain to fight the fascists

Explaining What is fascism

Entertainment and the ArtsThe Depression produced two separate

trends in entertainment and the arts One wasescapismmdashlight or romantic entertainment thathelped people forget about their problems Theother was social criticismmdashportraits of the injus-tice and suffering of Depression America

Radio became enormously popular during the1930s Daytime dramas sponsored by laundrydetergents earned the nickname ldquosoap operasrdquoAdventure programs such as Dick Tracy The LoneRanger and Superman had millions of listeners asdid variety shows featuring comedians GeorgeBurns Gracie Allen and Jack Benny

DUST BOWLDURING THE 1930s dust storms ravaged the GreatPlains This area was labeled the ldquoDust Bowlrdquo Duststorms dubbed ldquodustersrdquo or ldquoblack blizzardsrdquo sweptacross the region darkening the sky and buryingfences fields and even houses and barns

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

RELIEF

New Deal programs finally brought relief to victims of the Dust Bowl In addition to helping migrants thefederal government taught farmers in the Dust Bowl new conservation measures to preserve their land Rains

Support for Franklin D Rooseveltrsquos efforts to end the Great Depression was far fromunanimous Many wealthy and conservative people attacked the presidentrsquos ldquoradicalrdquopolicies A political cartoon of the 1930s showed a boy writing the word ROOSEVELT onthe sidewalk in front of his rich familyrsquos house His sister calls out ldquoMother Wilfredwrote a bad wordrdquo

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

the economy Although the Liberty League didnot win widespread support its existence con-vinced FDR that big business was against him

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The

Native AmericansThe 1930s did bring some benefits to Native

Americans The new head of the Bureau ofIndian Affairs John Collier introduced a set ofreforms known as the Indian New Deal

Hispanic AmericansAt the beginning of the 1930s about two

million people of Hispanic descent lived in theUnited States mostly in California and theSouthwest Many had emigrated from MexicoThey worked as farmers migrant workers andlaborers As the Great Depression deepenedresentment against Mexican Americans grewMany lost their jobs Politicians and laborunions demanded that Mexican Americans beforced to leave the United States

The government encouraged Mexican immi-grants to return to Mexico Authorities gavethem one-way train tickets to Mexico or simplyrounded them up and shipped them southacross the border More than 500000 MexicanAmericans left the United States during the earlyyears of the Depression often involuntarily

Radical Political MovementsHard times helped radical political groups

DUST BOWLDURING THE 1930s dust storms ravaged the GreatPlains This area was labeled the ldquoDust Bowlrdquo Duststorms dubbed ldquodustersrdquo or ldquoblack blizzardsrdquo sweptacross the region darkening the sky and buryingfences fields and even houses and barns

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

RELIEF

New Deal programs finally brought relief to victims of the Dust Bowl In addition to helping migrants thefederal government taught farmers in the Dust Bowl new conservation measures to preserve their land Rains

Support for Franklin D Rooseveltrsquos efforts to end the Great Depression was far fromunanimous Many wealthy and conservative people attacked the presidentrsquos ldquoradicalrdquopolicies A political cartoon of the 1930s showed a boy writing the word ROOSEVELT onthe sidewalk in front of his rich familyrsquos house His sister calls out ldquoMother Wilfredwrote a bad wordrdquo

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

the economy Although the Liberty League didnot win widespread support its existence con-vinced FDR that big business was against him

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

The WPA also found work for unemployedwriters artists and musicians WPA paintersdecorated the new public buildings withmurals Writers and photographers documentedlife throughout America The writers producedLife in America 150 volumes that recorded folk-tales and songs African American narrativesand Native American traditions

Help for Those in NeedBefore the Second New

Deal America was theonly advanced industrialnation without a nationalgovernment program tohelp the needy In August1935 Congress passed theSocial Security Act

The Social Security Act created a tax onworkers and employers That money providedmonthly pensions for retired people Anothertax on employers alone funded unemploy-ment insurance payments to people who losttheir jobs In addition Social Security helpedpeople with disabilities the elderly poor andchildren of parents who could not support them

With the Social Security Act the federal gov-ernment took responsibility for the welfare ofall citizens It launched the American welfaresystem

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

On Election Day FDR received 61 percent of the popular vote the biggest landslide in anAmerican presidential election to that timeRooseveltrsquos support came from progressives andliberals the poor and unemployed urban work-ers and African Americans These groupswould form the core of the Democratic Party fordecades to come

Rooseveltrsquos ldquoCourt-Packingrdquo PlanSoon after his reelection FDR took action to

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The

unpopularity of the court-packing plan how-ever cost Roosevelt a great deal of support andtriggered a split in the Democratic Party

had nearly returned to its 1929 level Believingthat the Depression was finally over Roosevelttried to reduce the governmentrsquos debt by cuttingspending on relief and job programs

DUST BOWLDURING THE 1930s dust storms ravaged the GreatPlains This area was labeled the ldquoDust Bowlrdquo Duststorms dubbed ldquodustersrdquo or ldquoblack blizzardsrdquo sweptacross the region darkening the sky and buryingfences fields and even houses and barns

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

RELIEF

New Deal programs finally brought relief to victims of the Dust Bowl In addition to helping migrants thefederal government taught farmers in the Dust Bowl new conservation measures to preserve their land Rains

Support for Franklin D Rooseveltrsquos efforts to end the Great Depression was far fromunanimous Many wealthy and conservative people attacked the presidentrsquos ldquoradicalrdquopolicies A political cartoon of the 1930s showed a boy writing the word ROOSEVELT onthe sidewalk in front of his rich familyrsquos house His sister calls out ldquoMother Wilfredwrote a bad wordrdquo

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

the economy Although the Liberty League didnot win widespread support its existence con-vinced FDR that big business was against him

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

The WPA also found work for unemployedwriters artists and musicians WPA paintersdecorated the new public buildings withmurals Writers and photographers documentedlife throughout America The writers producedLife in America 150 volumes that recorded folk-tales and songs African American narrativesand Native American traditions

Help for Those in NeedBefore the Second New

Deal America was theonly advanced industrialnation without a nationalgovernment program tohelp the needy In August1935 Congress passed theSocial Security Act

The Social Security Act created a tax onworkers and employers That money providedmonthly pensions for retired people Anothertax on employers alone funded unemploy-ment insurance payments to people who losttheir jobs In addition Social Security helpedpeople with disabilities the elderly poor andchildren of parents who could not support them

With the Social Security Act the federal gov-ernment took responsibility for the welfare ofall citizens It launched the American welfaresystem

The Labor MovementLabor unions grew stronger as workers battled

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

Rooseveltrsquos ldquoCourt-Packingrdquo PlanSoon after his reelection FDR took action to

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The

Support for Franklin D Rooseveltrsquos efforts to end the Great Depression was far fromunanimous Many wealthy and conservative people attacked the presidentrsquos ldquoradicalrdquopolicies A political cartoon of the 1930s showed a boy writing the word ROOSEVELT onthe sidewalk in front of his rich familyrsquos house His sister calls out ldquoMother Wilfredwrote a bad wordrdquo

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

the economy Although the Liberty League didnot win widespread support its existence con-vinced FDR that big business was against him

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

The WPA also found work for unemployedwriters artists and musicians WPA paintersdecorated the new public buildings withmurals Writers and photographers documentedlife throughout America The writers producedLife in America 150 volumes that recorded folk-tales and songs African American narrativesand Native American traditions

744 CHAPTER 25 The Depression and FDR

Help for Those in NeedBefore the Second New

Deal America was theonly advanced industrialnation without a nationalgovernment program tohelp the needy In August1935 Congress passed theSocial Security Act

The Social Security Act created a tax onworkers and employers That money providedmonthly pensions for retired people Anothertax on employers alone funded unemploy-ment insurance payments to people who losttheir jobs In addition Social Security helpedpeople with disabilities the elderly poor andchildren of parents who could not support them

With the Social Security Act the federal gov-ernment took responsibility for the welfare ofall citizens It launched the American welfaresystem

Explaining How did the govern-ment raise money for Social Security

The Labor MovementLabor unions grew stronger as workers battled

the Depression In 1937 workers at the GeneralMotors plant in Flint Michigan used a new

techniquemdashthe sit-down strikeStrikers continuously occupiedthe plant and refused to workuntil management agreed tonegotiate with them about theirdemands For 44 days families

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

On Election Day FDR received 61 percent of the popular vote the biggest landslide in anAmerican presidential election to that timeRooseveltrsquos support came from progressives andliberals the poor and unemployed urban work-ers and African Americans These groupswould form the core of the Democratic Party fordecades to come

Rooseveltrsquos ldquoCourt-Packingrdquo PlanSoon after his reelection FDR took action to

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The

unpopularity of the court-packing plan how-ever cost Roosevelt a great deal of support andtriggered a split in the Democratic Party

had nearly returned to its 1929 level Believingthat the Depression was finally over Roosevelttried to reduce the governmentrsquos debt by cuttingspending on relief and job programs

The economy faltered immediately Farmprices dropped Four million people lost theirjobs Times nearly as hard as 1932ndash1933returned The new economic downturn knownto some as the Roosevelt Recession lasted into1938 Roosevelt helped to reverse it with a floodof government spending on public works

DUST BOWLDURING THE 1930s dust storms ravaged the GreatPlains This area was labeled the ldquoDust Bowlrdquo Duststorms dubbed ldquodustersrdquo or ldquoblack blizzardsrdquo sweptacross the region darkening the sky and buryingfences fields and even houses and barns

LIVING ON THE PLAINS

Settlers had flocked to the plains and plowed up thegrasses to plant wheat and other crops Repeated deepplowing destroyed the protective root layer of the toughgrasses and sod that held moisture and anchored the soil

DARK CLOUDS

In the early 1930s a severe drought struck the regionand the wind began to blow the fine-grained soil awayThe drought lasted for years and caused many duststorms Sometimes the storms lasted for weeks Highwinds blew topsoil all the way to the Atlantic OceanDesperate farmers watched their crops shrivel and blow away

HEADING WEST

Many families lost their jobs and their farms Theyfinally crammed their belongings into their old jalopiesand headed west During the 1930s half a millionmigrants traveled west searching for jobs The migrantsmany of them living out of their cars would travel fromfarm to farm hoping to find work picking fruit vegeta-bles or cotton

RELIEF

New Deal programs finally brought relief to victims of the Dust Bowl In addition to helping migrants thefederal government taught farmers in the Dust Bowl new conservation measures to preserve their land Rains

Support for Franklin D Rooseveltrsquos efforts to end the Great Depression was far fromunanimous Many wealthy and conservative people attacked the presidentrsquos ldquoradicalrdquopolicies A political cartoon of the 1930s showed a boy writing the word ROOSEVELT onthe sidewalk in front of his rich familyrsquos house His sister calls out ldquoMother Wilfredwrote a bad wordrdquo

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

the economy Although the Liberty League didnot win widespread support its existence con-vinced FDR that big business was against him

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

The WPA also found work for unemployedwriters artists and musicians WPA paintersdecorated the new public buildings withmurals Writers and photographers documentedlife throughout America The writers producedLife in America 150 volumes that recorded folk-tales and songs African American narrativesand Native American traditions

Help for Those in NeedBefore the Second New

Deal America was theonly advanced industrialnation without a nationalgovernment program tohelp the needy In August1935 Congress passed theSocial Security Act

The Social Security Act created a tax onworkers and employers That money providedmonthly pensions for retired people Anothertax on employers alone funded unemploy-ment insurance payments to people who losttheir jobs In addition Social Security helpedpeople with disabilities the elderly poor andchildren of parents who could not support them

With the Social Security Act the federal gov-ernment took responsibility for the welfare ofall citizens It launched the American welfaresystem

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

On Election Day FDR received 61 percent of the popular vote the biggest landslide in anAmerican presidential election to that timeRooseveltrsquos support came from progressives andliberals the poor and unemployed urban work-ers and African Americans These groupswould form the core of the Democratic Party fordecades to come

Rooseveltrsquos ldquoCourt-Packingrdquo PlanSoon after his reelection FDR took action to

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The

unpopularity of the court-packing plan how-ever cost Roosevelt a great deal of support andtriggered a split in the Democratic Party

Support for Franklin D Rooseveltrsquos efforts to end the Great Depression was far fromunanimous Many wealthy and conservative people attacked the presidentrsquos ldquoradicalrdquopolicies A political cartoon of the 1930s showed a boy writing the word ROOSEVELT onthe sidewalk in front of his rich familyrsquos house His sister calls out ldquoMother Wilfredwrote a bad wordrdquo

New Deal OpponentsIn the early days of his presidency FDR counted on big business to support

his efforts to revive the economy The National Recovery Administration forexample invited participation from the business community In general how-ever the business world opposed the New Deal

Business leaders accused Roosevelt of spending too much government moneyand of trying to destroy free enterprise In 1934 some of these conservative crit-ics formed the Liberty League to ldquodefend and uphold the Constitutionrdquo TheLeague wanted government to let business alone and play a less active role in

the economy Although the Liberty League didnot win widespread support its existence con-vinced FDR that big business was against him

Demanding More ReformAt the same time Roosevelt drew fire from

liberal critics They wanted a more active gov-ernment Three men gained wide popularitywith schemes to help the average American

One of Rooseveltrsquos critics was Father CharlesCoughlin a Detroit priest who reached millionsof listeners through his weekly radio programCoughlin once a Roosevelt supporter attackedFDR for not dealing firmly enough with big busi-ness calling him ldquoFranklin Double-CrossingRooseveltrdquo Coughlin used his radio show toattack bankers Jews Communists and laborunions as well as the New Deal In time Cough-lin lost support because of his extreme views

Francis Townsend a California doctor roseto fame with his plan for a monthly pension orpayment for older people Older workers whoquit their jobs making them available toyounger people would receive a pensionTownsendrsquos plan received little support fromCongress It did however force many Ameri-cans to think about the plight of the elderly poorand the needs of retired people

Of greatest concern to Roosevelt howeverwas Senator Huey Long of Louisiana When hewas governor of Louisiana Long had won widesupport with public works projects and attackson big businesses

In 1932 Long supported FDR but within ayear the two men had split One of Longrsquos majorcomplaints against the president was that hehad not taken steps to redistribute wealth in theUnited States By 1934 Long had developed hisown plan for doing so His ldquoShare Our WealthPlanrdquo called for taxing the rich heavily thenusing that money to give every American ahome and $2500 a year As his appeal spreadLong became a threat to Roosevelt Polls indi-cated that in 1936 he might receive as many asfour million votes on a third-party ticket But in1935 he was assassinated

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

The WPA also found work for unemployedwriters artists and musicians WPA paintersdecorated the new public buildings withmurals Writers and photographers documentedlife throughout America The writers producedLife in America 150 volumes that recorded folk-tales and songs African American narrativesand Native American traditions

Help for Those in NeedBefore the Second New

Deal America was theonly advanced industrialnation without a nationalgovernment program tohelp the needy In August1935 Congress passed theSocial Security Act

The Social Security Act created a tax onworkers and employers That money providedmonthly pensions for retired people Anothertax on employers alone funded unemploy-ment insurance payments to people who losttheir jobs In addition Social Security helpedpeople with disabilities the elderly poor andchildren of parents who could not support them

With the Social Security Act the federal gov-ernment took responsibility for the welfare ofall citizens It launched the American welfaresystem

Explaining How did the govern-ment raise money for Social Security

The Labor MovementLabor unions grew stronger as workers battled

the Depression In 1937 workers at the GeneralMotors plant in Flint Michigan used a new

techniquemdashthe sit-down strikeStrikers continuously occupiedthe plant and refused to workuntil management agreed tonegotiate with them about theirdemands For 44 days families

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

On Election Day FDR received 61 percent of the popular vote the biggest landslide in anAmerican presidential election to that timeRooseveltrsquos support came from progressives andliberals the poor and unemployed urban work-ers and African Americans These groupswould form the core of the Democratic Party fordecades to come

Rooseveltrsquos ldquoCourt-Packingrdquo PlanSoon after his reelection FDR took action to

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The

unpopularity of the court-packing plan how-ever cost Roosevelt a great deal of support andtriggered a split in the Democratic Party

had nearly returned to its 1929 level Believingthat the Depression was finally over Roosevelttried to reduce the governmentrsquos debt by cuttingspending on relief and job programs

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The

To bring in more government funds Roose-velt pushed Congress to pass the Revenue Actof 1935 The act raised taxes on wealthy peopleand corporations Critics accused him of ldquosoak-ing the richrdquo to pay for his programs but manyAmericans cheered

In 1935 President Roosevelt launched a newset of programs and reforms often called theSecond New Deal The laws passed at this timechanged American life even more than the Hun-dred Days had done

Creating JobsMillions of peoplemdash20 percent of the work-

forcemdashwere still unemployed in 1935 In AprilCongress created the Works Progress Adminis-tration (WPA) to give people jobs and help thecountry Led by Harry Hopkins the WPA keptabout two million people employed between1935 and 1941 WPA workers built or repairedabout 800 airports 125000 public buildings75000 bridges and 650000 miles of roads

Help for Those in NeedBefore the Second New

Deal America was theonly advanced industrialnation without a nationalgovernment program tohelp the needy In August1935 Congress passed theSocial Security Act

The Social Security Act created a tax onworkers and employers That money providedmonthly pensions for retired people Anothertax on employers alone funded unemploy-ment insurance payments to people who losttheir jobs In addition Social Security helpedpeople with disabilities the elderly poor andchildren of parents who could not support them

With the Social Security Act the federal gov-ernment took responsibility for the welfare ofall citizens It launched the American welfaresystem

Explaining How did the govern-ment raise money for Social Security

The Labor MovementLabor unions grew stronger as workers battled

the Depression In 1937 workers at the GeneralMotors plant in Flint Michigan used a new

and friends of the Flint strikersbrought them food Finally thestrikers won the right to organizetheir union

The most influential labor leaderduring the 1930s was John LLewis head of the United MineWorkers To increase laborrsquospower Lewis strived to uniteworkers in every industry in a single unionMost unions in the American Federation ofLabor (AFL) represented only skilled workersLewis called for industrial unions to includeunskilled workersmdashthe largest group in thelabor force

In 1935 Lewis formed a new union called theCongress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)which helped create industrial unions By 1938the CIO had four million members includinglarge numbers of women and African Americans

Unions found support in the New Deal The1935 National Labor Relations Actmdashalso calledthe Wagner Act after its sponsor Senator RobertWagner of New Yorkmdashguaranteed workers theright to form unions to bargain collectively withemployers The act also created the NationalLabor Relations Board to enforce its provisionsIn 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act (FLSA) which banned child labor andset a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour TheFLSA and the Wagner Act form the basis ofAmerican labor rights today

Comparing How did the CIO differfrom the AFL

The Supreme CourtThose who opposed the New Deal challenged

many of its laws in the courts claiming that theywere unconstitutional Several important casesreached the Supreme Court

In May 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that theNational Industrial Recovery Act was unconsti-tutional In the opinion of the Court Congresshad exceeded its lawful power to regulate inter-state commerce In January 1936 the SupremeCourt struck down the Agricultural AdjustmentAct Cases were also pending against the WagnerAct the Social Security Act and the TennesseeValley Authority It seemed as though theSupreme Court might destroy the New Deal

A Second TermThe presidential campaign of 1936 was based

on a single issue Did the American people sup-port FDR and the New Deal

To run against Roosevelt the Republicansnominated Alfred M Landon governor ofKansas Landon attracted dissatisfied Demo-crats as well as Republicans FDR campaigned

Rooseveltrsquos ldquoCourt-Packingrdquo PlanSoon after his reelection FDR took action to

prevent the Supreme Court from undoing theNew Deal He asked Congress to increase thenumber of justices on the Court from 9 to 15saying that the 9 justices were overworked andneeded additional help FDR would appoint the6 new justicesmdashselecting of course justices whowould uphold the New Deal

The proposal aroused bitter opposition Crit-ics accused the president of trying to ldquopackrdquo theCourt and ruin the system of checks and bal-ances set up in the Constitution The issue diedwhen the Court ruled in favor of the Wagner Actand the Social Security Act The New Deal wasno longer in serious danger from the Court The
