New Deal Impact

The efficacy of the New Deal was to increase the guarantee of economic security to the forefront of American discussions of freedom. (809). The desired result of the New Deal was to expand the meaning of freedom, and that occurred, but it did not get rid of freedom boundaries. Men still had more freedom than women, industrial workers more than tenant farmers, and white Americans more than black Americans. With the New Deal also came the development of Acts like the Emergency Banking Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, the Social Security Act, and many more along with government systems like the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. One of the legislative Acts that came about during the New Deal era, specifically the Second New Deal, was the Social
While the decline of jobs occurred toward the beginning of the war, once it ended there were plenty of jobs available even to women (937). Not only were there jobs, but families started to life a middle-class lifestyle. They now had what some called “the standard consumer package” where a home, at least one car, and a television were included for a middle-class family (936).

This also led to more people getting cars to drive to work, and thus created the need for roads and a more civilized country (933). By the end of the war, spending was reduced and taxes also reduces therefore also helping to get out of the Great
The Social Security Act and the National Recovery Administration were just two of many things that came about due to the New Deal. These were very important, and as far the Social Security, it has stuck around for many years. As time went on though, the New Deal was not seen as good as it once was. Rather than the New deal helping to get the country out of the Great Depression it was World War II that did. Lastly, the popular vote for campaigns ended up shifting from Democratic to Republican by the twentieth century but people still thought that some of the New Deal programs were important to stay.
