The New Deal was a success, because of the fact that Americans’ working conditions and situations were greatly improved. Before the New Deal there were never rules set for the working conditions for Americans. Work days can be way more than eight hours, and salaries could have been much lower than what should have been. Examples of how working conditions improved were the creation of minimum wage laws, 40 hour work weeks, worker and plant safety laws, and outlawed child labor (Document 7). These new set rules are still applied today, and without them workers could be payed less and work more with no additional pay.
The New Deal included programs that would help average citizens find relief and provide recovery from the dire economic situation, helped farmers recover from foreclosures produce more crops and reduce the prices of crops for citizens and consequently expanded the role of gov’t because more people depended more on their gov’t in a time of need. The Great Depression started after the stock market crash of 1929, shortly thereafter companies started firing millions of workers (Document J) to save money because CEO’s are always greedy and always want to keep as much money as possible for themselves. FDR’s response to mass unemployment was to create agencies like the TVA (Document I) which employed unemployed workers in Tennessee for public projects such as bridges, roads, dams, parks etc. Anything that benefited the public was built so that people had jobs and were able to bring the economy out the depression.
This plan consisted of three things relief, recovery, and reform. The New Deal improved a variety things in the nation, therefore, was a successful plan.

The Great Depression that took place in the 1930’s had a devastating impact on the United States’ economy. There were many influencing factors that led up to the Great Depression such as a stock market crash and a large gap between the rich and poor. The president at the time, Franklin Roosevelt, and his administration, responded in numerous effective ways such as the enactment of the New Deal which expanded the federal government’s role in the nation’s economy. President Roosevelt enacted legislature called the New Deal. The New Deal was considered an aggressive tactic by many of the president’s critics.

The New Deal was successful in many ways but it also failed in many ways. In my opinion the New Deal was a success because it restored faith in the government, created million of jobs, set the tone for the future, and strengthened labor unions. President Roosevelt made people feel very comfortable and many felt as they personally knew him. He was pretty chill and people trusted him and his ideas for the most part. Document A: “Fireside Chats” explains that Roosevelt had these radio addresses called “fireside chats.”
During the 1920s, America experienced vast improvement economically and socially, however, this great peak of improvement would soon come crashing down with the Great Depression occurring in the 1930s.

It introduced laws that would prevent corruption and irresponsibility in the banking system which prevented banks from failing for the entire year of 1936. It also created several agencies, such as the NRA, aimed at providing relief to the people. Such agencies provided work for many unemployed American citizens through government jobs or public-works projects, however, it was not enough as there were still thousands of Americans who were unemployed.
Overall, the new deal was pretty successful because policies were instituted to help those who could not make a living
Giving people money so they could have the basic necessities of life was important in this time, as President Roosevelt said, “... the Congress is about to pass legislation that will greatly ease the mortgage distress among the farmers and the homeowners of the nation, by providing for the easing of the burden of debt now bearing so heavily upon millions of our people”. Some argue that the New Deal was bad because it did not speed up recovery - the Great Depression still lasted for twelve long years when full recovery came in 1941. Although the Great Depression lasted a long time, without the New Deal it could have gone on longer and more drastic measures could have been taken in attempts to restore the country to its former state.

The New Deal had many successes including agencies creating jobs and fireside chats which would give hope to the people. One success of the New Deal was how the agencies
