Wednesday 9th

David started talking about the TVA, which built a bunch of dams and employed a lot of people. This also increased rirver market trade and gave nearly 90% of urban Tennesee electricity. It is now the largest power electric company.

 

  • He then talked about FDR v. Supreme Court. He wanted to appoint new justices, but the constitution does not allow for the removal of judges do to disagreements. But deaths and retirements happend, and allowed him to appoint justices. I think he assisnated or bribed them. Pretty sneaky, Roosevelt ;)

Then, Lindsey talked about the Federal Securities act. It prevented fraud in the market and within investments. She then moved on the Indian Reorganization Act. It gave them all their stuff back, created reservations, and allowed them to self-govern.
