American History
How did American society change in the two decades after the First World War?
World War I was a catalyst of the great depression. U.S. attempted to rebuild for approximately four years after World War I. Due to the casualties of the war, the workforce was lacking. The repayment of wartime debts became tough for the people. They’re significant huge increase unemployment. Thus, parents were having significant problems feeding and clothing their families. Because of the lack of money there, were significant effects on consumer goods.
In 1929 the Wall Street Crashed and fortunes were lost and the stock market was crippled. Businesses were virtually wiped out, in as little amount of time as a week. .
How did the federal government change in response to those changes?
In my opinion, the federal government tried to develop several acts to help out the people. The first one was The New Deal. This was passed into law which brought about change/help for the people, such as new banking systems, help for homeowners and their loans, acts to help the women’s rights movement, etc.
How did the American people respond to the changing role of the federal government?
In my opinion, the average person felt that the New Deal was only helping out the rich. Making the rich, richer and the poor, poorer.
How did the New Deal change over time and what alternatives were offered to it?
Between 1933 and 1936 there was a series of economic programs enacted in the US, they were called the New Deal. The President executive orders or laws passed by Congress during the President’s first term. These programs were in response to the Great Depression. Historians called the programs the "3Rs": Relief, Recovery, and Reform.
1. Relief from unemployment and poor.
2. Recovery: the economy to "normal levels"; and
3. Reform: to change the financial system and prevent the repeat of the great depression.
