From the Paper
"In essence, therefore, Roosevelt operated in a unique and original manner. There was underconsumption and overproduction, and yet no government regulation. In other words, just as the government needed to regulate the speculation of the stock market, so too it needed to minimize the excesses of what overproduction and underconsumption caused. More than anything else, all of this was rooted in the lack of the redistribution of wealth in the American economy."

Abstract
The first part of the paper examines the working conditions of immigrant farm workers and the reasons that prevented them from forming unions and benefiting from organized labor. The second part looks at the strike itself, concentrating from the first walkout in the spring of 1965 to the signing of the first contract with a California grower in 1966. In the final part, the paper examines the historic achievements the Great Delano Grape Strike made possible for farm workers, as well as for the larger field of women's and immigrant rights and ethnic identity.
From the Paper
"For more than a century, the valleys of Central California have served as one of the most important agricultural centers of the country. The fields of Salinas, San Joaquin and Coachella, to name a few, have supplied the rest of the country with lettuce, beets, strawberries and other fresh produce. This agribusiness empire is built on backbreaking labor of migrant workers. Since the late 19th century, young male migrants from China, Japan, Mexico and the Philippines were brought in to work as planters and fruit pickers. Because these workers were important sources of cheap labor, farm owners took great pains to keep them isolated and demoralized. Many of these young men did not speak the language and were barred from associating with other groups (Kushner, 1975). By the 1960s, the organized labor movement in the United States was able to enact laws that protected and enshrined worker rights. These included laws pertaining to benefits, fair wages, reasonable working hours and safe working conditions."

Abstract
This paper examines Franklin D. Roosevelt's four consecutive terms in office. It gives a chronological tale of the main events during his presidency and how he dealt with them, as well as his major achievements and changes that he made. The paper details several incidents in which FDR managed to strengthen the government and the presidency and fight against corruption.
From the Paper
"As a president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt left an indelible mark of the progress of United States history. He was the only president to have been elected four consecutive terms, and it was only his death that prevented him from running for a fifth. He utterly changed the role of the presidency in American politics, moving the executive branch into a role of increased power and importance.
"FDR's presidency began at a time of great hardship for America. Unemployment stood at 25% of the work force, industrial production was down to nearly nothing, and banks were closing left and right. People who had work their entire life to put aside a small savings often saw that money entirely lost by the collapse of yet another bank or stock. The situation was remarkable dreary."

Abstract
This paper looks at how eminent scholarship and critical historical reviews have stated that there was little about the New Deal that could be called "conservative" and that FDR was "cautious" not to allow America to slip into another depression. It examines how, in contrast, the New Deal was a revolutionary series of programs, simply because of the impressive number of innovative, bold initiatives that had never before been passed by Congress in such numbers.
From the Paper
"While some textbooks paint a picture that show Herbert Hoover's "New Era" and FDR's "New Deal" as "polar opposites," Lewis-Beck disagrees. He says that the New Deal wasn't so much a "fiscal revolution" as it was "elaborate old policies." In fact, the writer continues, while FDR is seen as a progressive and liberal, Hoover is being touted as the same kind of leader, by some historians - adding to Lewis-Beck's argument that FDR was not so very different from the politicians who preceded him. He cites several examples of programs FDR gets credit for that actually were initiated during the Hoover administration: The FERA, the NRA, the FDIC, the PWA, and more."

Abstract
In this article, the writer introduces, discusses and analyzes the life of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Specifically, the writer discusses his life, his presidency, and his accomplishments while he was president. The writer notes that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was one of the nation's most memorable presidents for a number of reasons. The writer points out that he was the first and only president to be elected to an unprecedented four terms in office. The writer also points out that Roosevelt reacted to the national emergency of Pearl Harbor, which entered the country into World War II, resurrected the country from the Great Depression and was the nation's only disabled president. The writer maintains that his presidency accomplished much and many of the programs he implemented while in office are still in place today.
From the Paper
"In addition to closing the banks and implementing many new federal agencies during the first hundred days, he and Congress drafted legislation regarding mortgages and loans. They created the Home Loan Act, the Farm Loan Act, and the Bankruptcy Act, which all helped safeguard property owners and workers who were out of work. There were also stricter regulations for the stock market, which had essentially created the Great Depression when it crashed in October 1929. He also created the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, which Congress allocated millions of dollars to help those in the most need around the country. However, Roosevelt did not sit back after the first one hundred days in office. The Great Depression essentially continued throughout the 30s until the advent of World War II, and because of this, Roosevelt continued to create programs and agencies that would help the country get back on its feet throughout his administrations."
