In 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt faced significant challenges with his second New Deal as the economy showed signs of stagnation, leading to rising unemployment and a recession within the broader Great Depression. His decision to cut government spending in an attempt to balance the budget backfired, exacerbating economic difficulties. Additionally, political opposition intensified, including from both conservatives and some progressive factions, undermining his reform agenda. This culminated in a loss of public confidence and a setback for his ambitious plans to further address economic inequality and recovery.
