Abstract
Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal had a very important social justice component, particularly with regards to racial justice. President Roosevelt had an informal network of African-American appointees who were known as the ?Black Cabinet.? One of the goals of the New Deal was thus to promote racial equality by creating federal agencies to help ease discrimination against African-Americans and creating economic opportunities for the advancement of black citizens. This paper examines two articles that deal with FDR'S New Deal on African-Americans. The first article examined is "The New Deal and the Negro: A Look at the Facts", written by FDR's Adviser on Negro Affairs, Robert C. Weaver in 1935. The other article discussed is "The Dual Agenda of African American Organizations since the New Deal", by Dona Cooper Hamilton and Charles Hamilton, written in 1992.
From the Paper
"For Hamilton and Hamilton, black intellectuals like Weaver and Ralph Bunche would fall in the period they dub the "consensual stage," which lasted from the New Deal years into immediately after World War II. During these years, many activists for African American rights tended to subordinate their civil rights agendas to the need for economic policies such as social welfare. Weaver clearly demonstrates the prevalence of this idea when he tries to rally black citizens' support for the New Deal, based on the plan's economic components."

The New Deal and African-Americans, 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Roosevelts were promoters of human rights and racial equality; thus, part of the goal of the New Deal was to promote racial equality by creating federal agencies to help ease discrimination against African-Americans and to create economic opportunities for the advancement of black citizens. The author points out that, despite their status as free Americans and the general economic prosperity that occurred in the 1920s, African-Americans were still far from being treated as full citizens; therefore, for many black families in the 1930s, the difficulties spawned by the Great Depression magnified already existing forms of inequitable treatment. The paper concludes that, even though the promises of the New Deal engendered hope in the African-American population, which was desperate for social and political change, studies show that the New Deal fell far short of its goal of promoting racial equality.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"This mass migration, however, led to growing racial tensions in the cities. Unemployed whites felt that they should have first priority for the few factory jobs that were available. Many desperate white workers also began taking jobs as janitors and street sweepers -- positions that were formerly reserved for African Americans. This contributed further to the displacement of African Americans from the paid labor force. Furthermore, while limited financial aid was available, white families had priority for any unemployment assistance."

Abstract
This paper examines how Franklin D. Roosevelt changed the world of American politics and the economy in the era with the New Deal. It explores how many were opposed to the New Deal and its policies, as well as to its later manifestations, and how there were also many changes that were beneficial after the years of the Great Depression. Both positive and negative aspects of the New Deal are explored by examining Roosevelt?s opponents, labor-management relations, the voting patterns of blacks, and the nature of the Second New Deal.

Opposition to Roosevelt?s Policies
Labor-Management Relations
The Voting Patterns of Blacks
The Second New Deal
From the Paper
"Other critics such as the Communist Party within the United States also, while opposed to many elements of the New Deal, were also willing to work with government in order to satisfy everybody?s ideals. It therefore appears that the New Deal at least started out as a system that many critics, although disillusioned, were willing to work with. Roosevelt seems to have encouraged such an ideology by his own simple statement that if something done does not work, then something else should be attempted. This is more than can be said of most political movements in the past of the United States."

Gauged by the program?s two distinct phases of influence ? its short and long term impacts ? the New Deal?s monumental significance is clear. In the short term the program led to a recovery of the United States economy and the comprehensive reform of American industry, agriculture and commerce."

Abstract
This paper explains that FDR's New Deal, which followed the onset of the disastrous Great Depression, represents the most significant expansion of the federal government's role and responsibility during the twentieth century. The author argues that these reforms, which are described in this paper, did not successfully end the period of Great Depression and only partly alleviated the suffering of Americans. The paper stresses that the legacy of the New Deal should be re-examined because this type of legislation and the creation of artificial federal government controls can stagnate the potential for real economic growth in a free market. The paper includes the extensive use of long quotations.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
President's Reforms and Era of Depression
First and Second Series of Reforms
Consequences and Critical Evaluation
Economic Legacy of New Deal
From the Paper
"The centralization of government that was accomplished during this time has never been completely undone. The federal government's first systematic network for distribution of funds (Federal Reserve) to localities, with the inclusion of insurance of funds up to a certain amount (currently 100,000) was established during this time and still functions in much the same way as it has since its inception. Conservation efforts and federal administration of public policy also still remain a large part of the national picture."

New Deal Programs, 2004.
This paper is a literature review of the failure of the New Deal Programs.
1,155 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the failures of Frank D. Roosevelt?s attempt to turn around the declining economy of the US during the 1930s by introducing the New Deal, various programs aimed at restructuring and rectification of the economy. The author concludes that literature review proves that the New Deal merely realized the interests of the interest groups within the New Deal program itself. The paper states that the plans and promises Roosevelt pledged the people would have tremendously helped the people, but, due to mismanagement and lost objectives, they failed.
From the Paper
"The selfishness of self interest groups? is also evident in the work of Deborah C. Malamud (2003). "Who they are - or were" discusses the emergence of the middle class in the American society. According to her, although America boasts of equality and openness, its political entities develop programs that serve the interest of particular groups only. Writing from the people's perspective, clearly Malamud reprimands self interest groups at the political level who develop, shape and promote middle class so as to serve their purpose. The concept of wage rates, white/blue collar jobs and whiteness of the American society is inherent in the wage and hour legislation, federal welfare relief and the new federal law of unionization developed during the New Deal. Malamud thus attempts to divulge the fact that it is not always clear whether Federal programs are meant for the public or the interest groups who generate them. Her study focuses on the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA); New York Temporary Emergency Relief Administration (TERA); Civil Works Administration (CWA); and Public Works Administration (PWA) etc. programs which trace the methods with which the funds were allocated. The author's work is sufficiently credible as she effectively provides arguments of her thesis from researched documents of the various institutions named above and dialogues recorded."

The writer explains that in order to combat the Great Depression when he took office in 1933, FDR implemented the New Deal. The writer notes that this program helped get America back on its feet and back to work, and had a lasting effect on American history. The writer maintains that, in fact, this program was one of the most revolutionary and forward thinking in American history. The writer concludes that while not all the programs were successful, overall, the New Deal helped get the nation back on its feet, and it put hundreds of thousands of people back to work.
From the Paper
"The New Deal affected the growth of the US in many ways. First, it helped hundreds of thousands of unemployed people find employment. The Works Progress Administration, which Roosevelt created early in 1935, managed projects in the arts, including theater, writing, photography, and music. The program helped put thousands of artists back to work while beautifying buildings, cataloging historic documents and records, and creating programs for the public. Including the arts and culture in the rebuilding of the nation was forward thinking and exceptionally successful, at least through the first years of the New Deal. It gave unemployed artists dignified employment again and added to the cultural foundations of the country."

The New Deal: Increasing Power Through Preserving Capitalism, 2003.
Argues that President Roosevelt's New Deal of the 1930s was actually a plan to keep himself in power.

Abstract
This paper argues against the general historic consensus that Franklin D. Roosevelt was an advocate for the American people and that his New Deal organizations had the charitable agenda to redistribute wealth and power in the U.S. The paper shows that those historians who believe this idea fail to recognize the social and economic realities of the 1930s. During this decade the majority of the American people were starved, poor and unemployed. The author of the paper argues that Franklin D. Roosevelt's seemingly liberal reforms imposed by the New Deal did not effectively draw upon the wealthy to provide assistance to the needy, but were proposed in a manner that helped FDR maintain his position as president. As chief executive, Roosevelt enacted measures to preserve capitalism in order to increase government power.
From the Paper
"Roosevelt was a shrewd politician who used empty promises to appeal to the average citizen and gain initial public support for his presidency during the depression. Thus, people were easily misled to believe that Roosevelt?s actions as president equally benefited labor and industry. During the early 1930?s millions had lost their jobs and ?men, women, and children were perishing because of plain lack of food and undernourishment.? This caused Americans to lose faith in the capitalistic system and turn towards the government for help. Entering office in 1932, Roosevelt was expected to solve the ?serious [economic] problems? in America, which had caused men to lose their ?sense of security for the present and future necessary to the peace and contentment of the individual and his family.?"

From the Paper
"Elizabeth Kubler-Ross is credited with introducing the subject of death and dying as a legitimate subject for discussion in medical circles and the community as a whole and her book 'On Death and Dying' is required reading in most major nursing and medical schools. Kubler-Ross, herself a physician, began her pioneering work with the terminally ill at the University of Colorado Medical Center in Denver and her interest in death and dying was sparked by a visit to a concentration camp where thousands of children ...
