5 Depression and the New Deal: The USA, Introduction Throughout the 1920s, America experienced an economic boom on an unprecedented scale. Unemployment was at an all-time low, ordinary Americans had more disposable income than ever before. American businesses and industry was thriving, factories were massproducing luxury goods and commodities to meet the demand from the consumer. For many Americans, they were living the American Dream ; however, in 1929, the New York Stock Exchange completely collapsed, and America was plunged into the deepest economic recession in living memory. Entire fortunes were lost overnight, people lost their jobs as thousands of American businesses and banks went bankrupt. Where people ate in in luxury restaurants, now they ate from charity soup-kitchens and bread lines; Americans lost their homes, and moved to makeshift shanty towns made from scrap metal and cardboard. The American Government under President Hoover seemed powerless to help; in fact, Hoover s government believed that it was not the responsibility of the government to help the poor, the sick and the needy. During Hoover s Presidency, the Great Depression worsened, and poverty, misery, and unemployment spread through America like a cancer affecting the lives of millions. Things would change, however, when Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected President in 1932: Roosevelt promised the American people a New Deal that would bring Relief, Recovery, and Reform to American financial and social systems. Roosevelt Presidency was characterised by successive government legislation and Alphabet Agencies that aimed to stabilise and fix the broken economy, reform the banking system, and provide ordinary Americans with the social and financial relief that they desperately needed. Roosevelt s popularity was so great and his policies so successful that he served four consecutive terms as the American President, and he lead the US through the Great Depression and through the Second World War. WE WILL EXAMINE 1) HOW SERIOUS WERE THE EFFECTS OF THE DEPRESSION ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? 2) HOW DID ROOSEVELT DEAL WITH THE DEPRESSION: THE NEW DEAL AND THE HUNDRED DAYS 3) HOW FAR WAS THE NEW DEAL SUCCESSFUL IN ENDING THE DEPRESSION IN THE USA? Topic Key Words: Economic Depression; Hoover; Soup-Kitchens; Hoovervilles; Roosevelt; New Deal; Reform; Relief; Recovery; Hundred Days; Alphabet Agencies; American Farmers; Tennessee Valley Authority; National Recovery Administration (NRA); Public Works Administration; Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA); Social Security Act: World War Two; Lend-Lease 5

6 Key Issue 1: How serious were the effects of the Depression on the American people? THE EFFECTS OF THE WALL STREET CRASH: THE COLLAPSE OF BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY Immediate Consequences of the Crash The consequences of the Wall Street Crash were devastating. Economic recovery was impossible in the short term. Between 1931 and 1933, America was crippled even further as people and financial institutions struggled to cope with the pressure of recession. Between , businesses closed. Industrial production decreased by 45% between 1929 and1932. America s national income was reduced from $80billion dollars to just $40billion banks went out of business between 1929 and1932 (just over half of the country s banks). 12,000 people were being made unemployed every day. Between million people were unemployed by Agricultural prices plummeted: farmers could no longer sell their produce for a profit. People deliberately set fire to forests in order to get temporary employment as firefighters. Surplus agricultural stock and crops were destroyed: crops were left to rot, livestock was culled (killed and burned), debts remained unpaid, and farmers were either evicted or forced to give up their independence and become tenants. 1 in 20 farmers were being evicted every day. 23,000 people committed suicide in one year this was unprecedented. Unemployment and its effects Many people were made homeless, and were forced to live in shacks made from cardboard boxes and scrap metal. Small towns full of these makeshift houses began appearing across the country, and they were nicknamed Hoovervilles - after President Hoover. Bread lines became a common feature in American cities and towns. The Salvation Army and other charities gave out free food. Special soup-kitchens were set up to feed starving people: the soup was nicknamed Hoover Stew. Families were separated as mothers and fathers roamed the country looking for work. 1-2 million people became wandering labourers and migrant farm-workers. People could no longer afford to get married, and the birth-rate fell dramatically. The land in the mid-west was also unusable due to a drought caused by excessive farming during the boom years. 6
