I stand corrected:
98.04.04: The Great Depression and New Deal
Did the New Deal provide relief and create millions of jobs during the worst economic down-turn in our history with many of its reforms still in effect today? Yes. Did it ultimately pull us out of the Great Depression? No. Pride swallowed, you were right.
The New Deal brought jobs and relief to millions of Americans. It did not however end the depression. The depression ended because of World War II. During the war the nations economy was devoted to the production of weapons and other materials necessary to win the conflict. Roosevelt presided over an enormous change in American and the presidency of the United States. The war only helped to increase the size and power of the presidential office. The presidency would never be the same nor would the world.
