Chapter Summary: Chapter 27
I. Chapter 27, “The New Deal: 1933-1941,” discusses the United States during the years of the Depression and President Roosevelt’s response with the New Deal. During the New Deal, Congress passed a multitude of new laws and created new administrations to try to combat the effects of the Depression. The chapter talks about how the New Deal affected a variety of groups, including women, blacks, Native Americans, and the elderly. Eventually, the Depression was ended by the outbreak of World War II in Europe, which Roosevelt originally meant to deal with by isolationism.
II. Today, the nation is in the same spot it was in during the Depression in some ways …show more content…
The Depression was the main problem that the other problems essentially stemmed from in chapter 27. Roosevelt’s New Deal faced much opposition, which Long, Coughlin, and Townsend appeared at the forefront of and posed a serious threat to Roosevelt’s political career and reputation.
VII. When Roosevelt was first elected and took office in 1933, the Depression was at its peak. The way in which Roosevelt chose to reverse the effects of the economic destitution at hand was what would ultimately define the beginning half of his presidency. At the end of the chapter, as well as at the end of the Depression, the main question to be dealt with was how to deal with World War II. Roosevelt’s decision to enact the cash-and-carry policy with Britain was an unspoken, yet clear way for Roosevelt to state his allegiances were with the Allied Powers.
VIII. The course America took after the breakout of both World Wars was very similar: at first, steadfast neutrality was established, while trade was still in place with nations involved in the war. Only after aggression was taken against America did the nation join the war, though an alliance with Great Britain, France, and other Allied Powers had been relatively soundly established beforehand based on America’s foreign policy. The breakout of WWI was covered in chapter 24, and the debate over isolationism, which was the policy America adopted at the beginning of WWII, is also discussed in chapter
