How was the New Deal a revolution in American society?

Answer 1

It changed the American life because it gave people the opportunity to have jobs after losing them because of the Depression. FDR's main points were -- 1) Relief for the needy

2) Economic recovery

3) Create financial reform

They had many projects for the young men to work in the woods (ages 15-25) so they can give the older people more job opportunities is the cities.

The new Deal took place over the Hundred Days (the first hundred days FDR was president). There was also a second Hundred Days because FDR was elected president again.

The New Deal also alleviated the financial burden.

Answer 2

As a formula for economic recovery, the New Deal failed. Many businessmen and financiers did not support the economic measures of the New Deal. With the recession of 1937, many business leaders and politicians claimed that FDR's policies were a failure and the attempt to maintain prosperity during peacetime was not successful at all.
Many Americans however in both rural and urban areas of the nation did support the efforts of the New Deal. FDR's Fireside Chats provided confidence and reassurance to many. Rural electrification, Social Security, insurance of bank accounts, protection for labor unions, and federal controls over the economy gave many a sense of security in the future and in the government. While there were some radical movements during the Great Depression, the faith Americans had in their system of government did not falter.
Many, however, were opposed to the growth of the federal government and the corresponding cost to maintain those new governmental agencies. From FDR's New Deal to the present, the federal government has continued to grow, assume an active role in the daily lives of citizens, and to cost more in the form of taxes, and to spend more on domestic and foreign affairs. Many politicians, economists, and students of government did not favor such increases.

Answer 3

Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of the New Deal was to ease the economic hardship faced by many during the Great Depression. While not being able to end the Depression, the New Deal did preserve the people's confidence in America's institutions and government. The relief measures of the New Deal were considered a success.
