I went today and i was nervous because this was my first presentation in a long time. My persentations were on FERA and the social security act (glass steagall act. )
How did the New Deal help:
The PWA built the Oregon building. It was not successful because they spent like 6 million dollars trying to create jobs and they built houses, but they were to expensive for people to buy. It is not around today. It put money into building bridges and building houses to try and get more jobs.
factory workers/labor- This was to help make it a 40 hour work week and a minimum wage of 40 cents per hour. This affected mostly the white men.
Children under the age of 14 were no longer allowed to work.
Native Americans- The Indians can now buy and manage their own land. It reversed the Dawes Act and they could govern themselves. They were trying to bring their culture back in schools and stuff like that. It was successful in that it got some of the land back for the Indians and they were starting to get their culture back. It's kinda around today because they added on in 2003 to help them more.
