The New Deal, II


FYC:

  1. What was the Dust Bowl? (The disaster, the region, the whole thing; read the whole section.)
  2. What is the Securities and Exchange Commission?
  3. What is the TVA?
  4. Define the FHA and Social Security.
  5. Define the Wagner Act.
  6. What powerful coalition had Roosevelt forged in his first term that helped him win in 1936?
  7. What was FDR's court-packing plan?
  8. Carefully read pages 773-775 and make an assessment of the successes and failures of the New Deal. Pay attention to what it did (long term and short), and what it did not do. What are the most important legacies? Etc.
