Recently in social studies, we have been studying the Great Depression. This was a period of extreme suffering in the United States. Many Americans lost their jobs and savings and were forced to live in small shantytowns often referred to as "Hoovervilles." It wasn't until FDR became president and put into place his New Deal, that the fortunes of the American people began to change. Our class recently acted out a scene from their social studies text in which citizens discuss the pros and cons of the New Deal. From struggling mothers to small business owners, opinions differed on the benefits of government involvement and regulations. What do you think of the new Deal? Are there any specific programs you think were especially beneficial?
