- SUCCESSES
- Taking the USA
off the Gold
Standard was
mostly benificial.
The financial
markets became
much more
stable.
- Many public
work
schemes
provided
much-needed
employment
rather than
just giving
relief
payments.
- CWA
provided
temporary
employment
for 4 million
workers
who built
sewers,
roads and
airports.
- Changed the
national mood
from
hopelessness to
optimism.
- FAILURES
- AAA
- Wheat
production did
fall but not due
to federal
policies.
- Made problems
worse for
sharecroppers by
reducing the
amount of land
used to grow
cotton.
- Little direct
action to help
African-American
poor.
- OPPOSITION TO
THE FIRST NEW
DEAL
- Lessened the
impact of the
depression for
many but brought
no real recovery
in industry or
agriculture.
Unemployment
rates were still
high. The drought
lead to the dust
bowl on the Great
Plains.
