Today we continued with presentations. Kelsey finished today and Amanda and Josh went today.How did the New Deal help:unemployed-FERA put like 3.1 billion dollars to work on projects and there was a lot of social security work. Where the government gave loans out to the states and then the states decided what to do with it. It gave to soup kitchens and stuff like that.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.banks/business/stock market- The Glass-Segal act allowed the Federal Reserve to regulate interest rates. This founded the FDIC. The Glass-Segal act had a big impact on the U.S. They didn’t want banks to close down and they like strengthened banks and made it so people’s money was safe. It strengthened the Federal Reserve Bank as well.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.
