Disagreement in the United States on the effects of the New DealIn 1932 the newly elected President Franklin Roosevelt, the Democratic leader, promised the American people a New Deal. However, by 1937 people could no longer agree on whether the New Deal had been a success or not. All the sources in the booklet demonstrate this. I disagree for the following reasons; The New Deal itself had various successes and an unnatural end. Historians, eyewitnesses, and politicians all have different motivations for evaluating the effects of the New Deal. Furthermore, it is impossible to compare the New Deal with any other policy, since Roosevelt's policy was very different from Hoover's. The following sources are all positive about the New Deal, source A was written by Roosevelt himself, so it is very positive about the New Deal, it was written when he first presented the New Deal to the American people. It contains quotes such as "I commit to you. I commit to a New Deal for the American people." He describes depression as the enemy, and he will fight and win the war against it. “Winning the Crusade to Restore America.” Sources B and F are similar in that they are both positive about the New Deal because they focus on the first part of it. An American historian writing in 1945 wrote Source B. talks about all the positive aspects of the New Deal, talks about how the beginning of the New Deal was successful. “Restoring your self-confidence.” Source F is a cartoon of Roosevelt throwing out all the garbage Hoover left behind, such as "prosperity is just around the corner" and "cars in every garage." In the background is Hoover walking away looking at the train timetable, which is ironic, given that he isn't driving a car after his promise to have a car in every garage in America. Source H is positive about the New Deal from a personal perspective. It was written by a family that was obviously positively affected by the New Deal.
