Yesterday, Wednesday, February 3, 2010, I was absent. In order to get caught up in notes, I went to Kyla's blog and copied and pasted her notes. Thanks Kyla! :)Questions:What was the New Deal (1st and 2nd) and it's goals (3 R's)?Why did people criticize the New Deal?Why was FDR upset with the US Supreme Court was and what did he do to try to solve this issue?Franklin lived in Hyde Park. He wasn't very socailable. He was always very hyper. He joined a top school where he go to know his cousin. Being in college at Harvard his dad died of a heart diease. He was the editor of the Hravard newspaper. Harvard got to know women at Harvard. A girl he met proposed to him and he turned her down. Then he met Eleanor and married her. They had six kids. He died and was buried in Hyde Park. Theodore was Eleanor's Roosevelt uncle and Eleanor was Franklin's fifth cousin.How did the New Deal help the following:Unemployed- -PWA- Public Work Administration1933-1939part of New Deal to reduce employment through building of highways and public buildingsmade by National Industrial Recovery Act and administered by Harold Ickesspent about $4 billion building schools, courthouses, city halls, public health facilities, roads, bridges, dams, and subways. - -CCC – Civil Works Administration was under control of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. Coast $200 million a month to pay for supplies and workers wages, budget only had $400 million.. Act ended March 31, 1934 after it spend a billion dollars in its five month period. Many politicians criticize the program. Supplied a lot of jobs, but they didn’t last long because could not afford to pay the employees. --The PWA built things to help the unemployeed. They used billions of dollars. It helped people have more jobs. It did construction projects. The CWA was created on Nov 8, 1933. This created about Four million jobs but they were only temperary because it ened after five months. Many people thought that it was unofficail because it way over budget. It cost $200 million a month to pay for supplies and workers wages. RFC. USHA-- Housing program was to help the poor get jobs. They built apartment type houses for these people and it would put people back on track. This lead into the PWA. NYA (National Youth Administration) It gave people jobs. Its not around today. It gave young people money to build like school and such. People would do these jobs during or after school. This was mainly for young people. This was for girls and boys. This allowed them to stay in school. They did like school project wages were about 6-40 dollars a month dependung on how much work they did. It helped for future job training. They were criticized because these people were getting paid with tax dollars and people thought that it was a waste of tax dollars. Overall it was successful though. The CCC- The Corps-young adult skills. Ran from 1933 to 1942. They planned this to be a temporary program. It was caused by the Great Depression. It was one of the most popular arrangements known, as well as very approved. The SCA was started in 1957, which was pretty much the exact same thing as the CCC. The CCC was meant for young single, men only, from the ages of 18-25. The CCC was very successful, but is not around today.. the Indian Reorganization act was set up tp hjelp out Indians in despair. Essentially it gave them mroe land that we took from them. This act restated the Dawes Act and broke up the land and gave it to individual triebes. Land of the Indians went from 138 million square acres in 1887 to only 48 million square acres. The IRA was also known as the Wheeler- Howard Act. Even though this act was made up tp help the Indians many tribes sucjh as the Crows Klamath and Navajo chose to reject it. 174 accepted the act and 78 rejected it. The government had a great influence in the IRA- It was willing to give the Indians a chance to set up their own littler governments within their tribes. THis IRA started in 1934 by Harold L. Ickes. We essentially grew away from this act over the years, it is to the fact around today, but not really head on. It is actually very strict, as if their own country. Leaving it unsuccessful in some ways because its hard to get them back up on their own feet again, but it was successful in ways where to allow them to go their own way and own their own land. When we decided to put them on reservations, twe would put them on an already used reservation. The whites took surveys on how well they were doing and they sitll were in the slums, not governing them the way we wanted them to. When we set up this act we thought it woudl be for th ebst of them, but overal it was kinda 20/20. The WPA-- Works Project Administration. Harry L. Hopkins was supplied with 4,800,000, 000 dollares tohelpo gety unemployed workers back working again. It supplied the unemployed with jobs like building highways, up keeping towns, reforestation, slum cleanrence, and rural rehabilitaion. during eight years iwt as in activity in buildt 651, 087 miles of hihghways, and constructed, repaired, or improved, 124,031, 125, 110 public buildings.. WPA was established in 1935 and then later revised in 1939. In 1939 changed name.. Didnt really have a downfall because it just kind of went under because by the time of the war any ppl who joined this group had gotten a job and were able to go independent. Many workers went on strike as well.Farmers-The RFC.Factory workers/labor-Young people-NYA (National Youth Administration) It gave people jobs. Its not around today. It gave young people money to build like school and such. People would do these jobs during or after school. This was mainly for young people. This was for girls and boys. This allowed them to stay in school. They did like school project wages were about 6-40 dollars a month dependung on how much work they did. It helped for future job training. They were criticized because these people were getting paid with tax dollars and people thought that it was a waste of tax dollars. Overall it was successful though. Wagner's NLRB -- The CCC- The Corps-young adult skills. Ran from 1933 to 1942. They planned this to be a temporary program. It was caused by the Great Depression. It was one of the most popular arrangements known, as well as very approved. The SCA was started in 1957, which was pretty much the exact same thing as the CCC. The CCC was meant for young single, men only, from the ages of 18-25. The CCC was very successful, but is not around today..Banks/business- RFC gaves businesses to banks and railroads loans and it gave over 2 billion dollars. It helped set up relief programs. This was Hoover's thing but it was continued by FDR. (Franklin D. Roosevelt) The banks would use this to give more loans out and for other businesses would build things so jobs would be able to be created.Home owners-USHA--Housing program was to help the poor get jobs. They built apartment type houses for these people and it would put people back on track. This lead into the PDA. Public Works Administration. The government had construction projects and they saved half of them for blacks and this eventually turned these places into ghettosElderly- - SSA – Social Security Administration was created by Roosevelt on August 14, 1935. tax taken out of your income. The first time SS taxes were taken was October 14, 1936. SS also covers survivors, old age, and disabled, or even if you have major rare diseases. This is still around today, and was successful, but wonders if it will be in the future, because the government has got to figure something out.Native AmericansDescribe the culture of the 1930's.Key terms:-Hundred Days-Fireside chats- Informal addresses. Franklin gave these all throughout the start and end of his presidency. These would be over the radio. The purpose was to have America listen to a time when they didn't know where to turn. Franklin was the first president to do anything like this. This is still around today wtih Obama. But, of course its over either Youtube or MSN. These did have a huge impact on the nation. It calmed people down, although not everyone did like it. This did start a tradition.-Priming the pump-Deficit spending-FDR- parents are James and Sara Rooseveltdemocratmother was very wealthyhome schooled; not many friends when youngerprivate schoolgreat family relationshipsattended Harvardafter a couple weeks at Harvard, his father had passed away from heart diseasegrades started hurting when learned social standardsHarvard showed him he was democratic, interested in woman,Met Theodore, and started to hang around him a lot, leading him to meet EleanorProposed to one lady, then met Eleanor and soon proposed after many datesPassed away in 1945-Civil Works Administration
