1. Franklin Delano Roosevelt and The New Deal

8. FDR ’ s First Inaugural Address

11. "I came to Washington to work for God, FDR and the millions of forgotten, plain common workingmen."

14. Alphabet Soup CCC TVA AAA FERA NRA CWA When President Roosevelt took office he created program after program to give relief, create jobs, and stimulate economic recovery for the U.S. These programs were called "alphabet soup" as well as the "New Deal."

17. The FERA FERA = Federal Emergency Relief Act - Helped those Most Hurt by the Great Depression by sending funds to depleting local relief agencies. Within two hours of its formation $5 million were given out. FDR believed that men should be put to work and not be given charity. His program also funded public work programs. Outcome: - Revitalized many deteriorating relief programs.

20. The NRA NRA = National Recovery Administration (1933) - Encouraged business and labor leaders to sign codes of fair competition within their industries, set guidelines for pricing and production and guaranteed labor the rights of collective bargaining , minimum wages, and maximum hours. Outcome: - Allowed monopolies to emerge. Small businessmen asserted the codes favored large corporations. In 1935 the Supreme Court declared the NRA unconstitutional

22. The AAA AAA = Agricultural Adjustment Act - The AAA tried to raise farm prices. It used proceeds from a new tax to pay farmers not to raise specific crops and animals. Lower production would, in turn, increase prices. Outcome: - Farmers killed off certain animals and crops as they were told to by the AAA. Many could not believe that the federal government was condoning such an action when many Americans were starving. Declared unconstitutional.

42. The Dust Bowl

43. The Dust Bowl The Dust Bowl of the 1930s lasted about a decade. Its primary area of impact was on the southern Plains. The northern Plains were not so badly effected, but they still endured drought, strong windblown dust storms and an agricultural decline that lengthened the Depression. Many of the farmers in this region decided to migrate westward.
