Aim: What new roles did the American government take on during the New Deal, and how did these roles shape the economy and society?
Bell Ringer: Review Journals 128 and 129
Agenda:
1. Continuity and Change over Time: The Social Security Act illustrates the legacy of the New Deal. You should recognize that the Social Security program was a major change that shifted responsibility for the elderly to the government.
2. WPA art was used to decorate public places such as post offices and government buildings, and New Deal commissioned art can be located in almost all major cities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG4fqOaoRKs (30 min)
3. Supreme Court fights are an example of how conservatives sought to limit the scope of the New Deal. When the Court-packing plan was rejected by Congress, it marked the beginning of the end of the New Deal coalition.
4. It is important to recognize that the New Deal did not completely solve the economic problems of the depression, but it did set in motion a profound change in the relationship between American citizens and the government.
5. The failure of the AAA to help black sharecroppers would contribute to African American migration out of the rural South during the Great Depression. Students should understand how the economic problems of the Great Depression, along with the wartime production needs of World Wars I and II, contributed to a "Great Migration."
6. YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO EVALUATE THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE NEW DEAL IN U.S. HISTORY
7. Exam Alert: The 2003 AP exam included a question that asked students to examine how successful New Deal measures were in ending the Great Depression, as well as how the role of the federal government changed in response to the economic crises.

Aim: What new roles did the American government take on during the New Deal, and how did these roles shape the economy and society?
Bell Ringer: Current Events (10 min)
Agenda:
1. Review Journal 126 / A: Roosevelt cited the economic emergency of the depression to expand presidential power. In Roosevelt's first hundred days, the government stabilized the financial sector, increased farm and industrial prices, and created job and relief programs to put Americans back to work. The fifteen major bills that Congress passed in this period created a new American welfare state.
2. Review Journal 127 / A: Roosevelt's critics on the right attacked the president or being antibusiness and for promoting socialism in America. On the left, many attacked FDR for not providing enough support. Father Coughlin and Huey P. Long argued that the federal government was not providing enough assistance to the ailing nation. The Supreme Court repudiated many aspects of the New Deal as well, striking down key New Deal legislation, in eluding the national Industrial Recovery Act.
3. It is important for students to be able to articulate the concept of liberalism as expressed by Roosevelt's New Deal and to explain and evaluate how the New Deal was developed by liberal progressive philosophy.
4. Fireside chats (CUL), Hundred Days (CUL), Glass-Steagall Act (WXT) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh-hxdF6BTc and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7BUmXUV0kw (10 min)
5. What were the banking reforms of the New Deal? (page 740)
6. Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) (WXT), National Recovery Administration (NRA) (WXT): led to positive effects in some regions. Overall, they did little to end the depression.
7. Public Works Administration (PWA) (WXT), Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC),
8. A valuable resource for New Deal photographic evidence is Engendering Culture: Manhood and Womanhood in the New Deal Public Art and Theatre (1991) http://xroads.virginia.edu/~UG97/fsa/lang.html and the National Archives https://www.archives.gov/exhibits/picturing_the_century/galleries/greatdep.html
9. The AAA was one of the more controversial measures of the New Deal. Why?
10. Social critics of the time suggested that the Great Depression helped cause the disintegration of city life. In response, the New Deal created a number of futuristic model communities. Research two of the most famous of these planned communities: Greenbelt, Maryland and the Jersey Homesteads.
10. Federal Housing Administration (FHS) (WXT) - permanently changed the mortgage system and set the foundation for the broad expansion of home ownership in the post-World War II decades.
11. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (WXT) - regulated the stock market, by carrying out powers to determine how stocks and bonds were sold to the public, to set rules for margin (credit) transactions, and the prevent stock sales by those with inside information about corporate plans. FDR became "That Man," a traitor to his class.
12. Liberty League (WXT) and National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) (WXT) - opposed the New Deal. Senator Huey Long: the most direct threat to FDR
13. Townsend Plan (WXT) - mobilized mass support for old-age pensions.

Bell Ringer: Current Events (10 min)
Agenda:
1. Review Journal 125 / A: Hoover and Congress believed that a government which governs least, governs best. He thought that charities, not the government, were better suited to help the poor and needy, although in 1931 he did secure funding for public works to provide jobs to Americans. Ignorant of the scale and repercussions of the national depression, congressmen urged the impoverished to work harder. Hoover and his administration did not move to secure a social safety net for Americans. (3 min)
2. "The new Deal represented a new form of liberalism, a fresh interpretation of the ideology of individual rights that had long shaped the character of American society and politics." page 734
"The division between the advocates and the critics of the New Deal shaped American politics for the next half century" page 734
3. Evaluate how Hoover approached the problem of the depression. Explain why his beliefs about the economy, which had been the bedrock of American economic theory in this period, did not serve him well in the depression.

Bell Ringer: Grade WWI Exam
Agenda:
1. Review Journal 119 / A: After the war, many whites attempted to roll back the progress African Americans made during the war through violence and intimidation. Labor also suffered in the 1920s as employers worked to dispel union strength and slap wages. The election of Republican Calvin Coolidge and antilabor Supreme Court decisions stripped unions of any government support. The economic woes that followed the war and the disintegration of labor union power led some Americans to become radicalized; an extreme minority joined the Communist Party. In reaction to a grossly overstated threat of Bolshevism, government officials and Americans sought out and persecuted those suspected of communism. The connections among these events stem from a fearful public who felt insecure economically.
2. Racial Strife (lynchings)(MIG), Erosion of Labor Rights (WXT): war economy brought higher pay and better working conditions, Adkins v. Children's Hospital (WXT)

Journal 116 - What were the different effects of African Americans', Mexican Americans, and women's civilian mobilization during WWI? (10 min)
J116 / A: Jobsin war industries drew thousands of people to the cities, including immigrants and African Americans. For the first time, jobs in heavy industry opened to African Americans. during WWI, more than 400,000 African American moved to cities such as Chicago, St. Louis, New York, Detroit. Job opportunities prompted Mexican Americans to leave rural areas to seek jobs in the urban industrial sector. Women were the largest group to take advantage of wartime employment opportunities. About on million women joined the paid labor force for the first time, while another eight million gave up low-wage service jobs for higher-paying industrial work. Though most people expected these jobs to return to men in peacetime, the war created a new comfort level with women's work outside the home. Another one of WWI's positive legacies was women's suffrage.
