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.

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.
