From the Paper
"The decade remained in the grip of racial fantasies that interpreted almost any progress as going too fast" and "pushing too hard (Jong, 2002). A tremendous resistance developed against minimal desegregation measures that would in no way have altered the power of the two races or alleviated the basic helplessness of the black minority. And this racism had not suffered much of a setback during the New Deal thirties. Since Roosevelt considered the race issue "political dynamite," his broker leadership always conciliated the Southern votes (Rubio, 2001). New Deal programs, therefore, either ex eluded or segregated the black minority. As Barton Bernstein has argued, it was an ambiguous legacy, marked more by promise than substance."

Abstract
This paper views some of the New Deal legislation from a conservative perspective, presenting the premise that FDR's response to the Great Depression was the genesis of Federal over-involvement in the lives of the American citizenry.
From the Paper
"In the early 1920's, the United State's economy was soaring, and many investors felt confident. People began to pour money into banks and the stock market, knowing the country was prospering, thus seeking to profit from the country's good fortune. The prosperous times of the country began to fade and citizens faced being laid off. Panic ensued, and many people went to banks and took out their savings. This was one of the factors that caused the country to fall into the Great Depression because there weren't any funds to help people get back on their feet. For the most part the Roosevelt years had paved the groundwork for the New Deal to help poor Americans with some kind of relief: due to the number of people that were unemployed and had no means of providing for their families. The New Deal legislation was intended to get the nation's economy back on track. The Roosevelt administration got a boost in the 1930's when it gained the overwhelming majority in Congress. Roosevelt had proposed a staggering array of emergency measures in his early months in office and most of them were passed by a large margin. The measures often reflected different and contradictory policy perspectives. But with all the confusion these measures would have, the contours of depression fighting strategy emerged. These strategies involved three components: industrial recovery, agricultural recovery, and short-term emergency relief for the jobless. The New Deal led to the immense growth of government and the demise of the individual. The New Deal impacted the individual negatively by allowing government to affect almost every aspect of his life and allowing government to have the final say in many matters that would normally be the responsibility of the individual."

Abstract
This paper is about the Great Depression that hit Americans during the 1930's. The author goes into depth about FDR's "new deal" and how it helped get America out of the depression. Includes information about each program and how it worked.
From the Paper
"During the 1930's, Americans witnessed a breakdown of the Democratic and free enterprise system as the US fell into the worst depression in history. At the depth of the depression, in 1933, one American worker in every four was out of a job (Conkin 136). During these times the people looked to the federal government for solutions. The president then, Herbert Hoover, did little for the country to get out of the depression, because he believed that the country did not have the power or money for social programs and many people blamed him for the depression. With the economy at an all time low people wanted change, change which Franklin D. Roosevelt offered through his legislative program. This program represented a new way of government for capitalism in America. Roosevelt first used the term "New Deal" when he accepted the Democratic presidential nomination in 1932. He said "I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people," (Morgan 36)."
