The Tennessee River flooded almost every year. The floods brought additional hardship to the people who lived in southern Appalachia, one of the nation's poorest areas. The TVA constructed a system of dams along the river both to control floods and to generate electricity. The electricity provided cheap power to homes and encouraged industry to move into the area for the cheap electricity. The industry would provide employment in this area. One of the factories in the area was a maker of fertilizer. This not only provided employment but the finished product helped the farmers in the area produce more crops for less.
What new deal program delt with electricity?
There were two major agencies for electricity during the New Deal. The Rural Electrification Administration (REA) brought electricity to isolated farm regions that were of no interest to private utility companies because of the cost and not much profit to the company. The largest government utility provider was the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). It was created to harness the rivers in the Tennessee Valley area and provide electricity to the people living in those areas, some of the poorest in the nation. A system of dams would be created on the rivers to control the floods and to generate electricity. The low cost electricity brought the Valley into the 20th Century and provided the means for other companies to open in that area, thus providing employment to the people.
