The New Deal Coalition THE NEW DEAL COALITION Chapter 12 Section 3 US History THE NEW DEAL COALITION • ROOSEVELT’S SECOND TERM • MAIN IDEA – Roosevelt was easily reelected, but the New Deal lost momentum during his second term due to his court-packing plan and a new recession ROOSEVELT’S SECOND TERM • Since the Civil War African American’s had voted Republican – Lincoln’s party • In the 1930s during the Depression, African American’s began to vote Democrat – Republican’s had not done enough to help African American’s during Depression – Campaign to change votes was lead by Robert L. Vann ROOSEVELT’S SECOND TERM • Movement of African American’s was part of historical political realignment New Deal triggered – 1936 voters for democrats included white south, farmers, industrial workers, African Americans, ethnic minorities, women, new immigrants and progressives/intellectuals – Eleanor Roosevelt helped bring Women and African American’s to party ROOSEVELT’S SECOND TERM • President appointed several African American’s to positions in his administrations – Became known as the Black Cabinet – Tried to get public works projects that included African Americans • FDR had similar policy with women – Appointed first woman to a cabinet post • Secretary of Labor “Frances Perkins” – Also appointed female diplomats and a female federal judge • But New Deal paid lower wages then men ROOSEVELT’S SECOND TERM • The Election of 1936 – Republican’s nominated Alfred Landon (Governor of Kansas) to run against FDR – Landon like some New Deal but thought it was time for a change, did not convince voters – Roosevelt and New Deal remained very popular – Roosevelt won election in one of the largest landslides in American history • 60% of popular vote and go every state but Maine and Vermont ROOSEVELT’S SECOND TERM • The Court-Packing Plan – People supported the New Deal but not the Supreme Court – 1936, United States v. Butler declared AAA unconstitutional – Other cases pending for Social Security and Wagner Act (might lose New Deal programs!) – Roosevelt angry that popular New Deal programs might be ended so decided to try to change political balance of the court ROOSEVELT’S SECOND TERM – To change system: any judge that severed for 10 years and did retire within 6 months after reaching age of 70, the President could appoint an additional justice to the Court • If passed, Roosevelt could appoint 6 new justices! • The “court packing plan” was Roosevelt’s first political mistake. – Congress thought President was trying to undermine Court’s independence – Split Democratic Party: South feared it would overturn segregation, African Americans worried after Roosevelt another President would pack with people opposed to civil rights – Many feared give President too much Power ROOSEVELT’S SECOND TERM • Even though it was not successful, Roosevelt’s proposal of the plan made Supreme Court back down – Upheld Wagner Act in 1937 (National Labor Relations Board V. Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation) – Upheld Social Security Act (Steward Machine Company v. Davis) – Mid July court-packing bill was officially killed in senate ROOSEVELT’S SECOND NEW DEAL • The Recession of 1937 – 1937 Roosevelt reputation again hurt when unemployment began to rise again – Economy had seemed to be in full recovery, industry back to Pre-Depression levels. – Roosevelt began to balance the budget (cut WPA and PWA a lot) but at the same time first Social Security Payroll taxes removed – Between the two 2 million people were back out of work ROOSEVELT’S SECOND TERM • Recession led to debate in Roosevelt’s administration – “Henry Morgenthau” Treasury Secretary favored balancing budget and cutting spending • Encourage business leaders to invest in economy – Harry Hopkins (WPA) and Harold Ickes (PWA) disagreed • More government spending using new theory called Keynesianism ROOSEVELT’S SECOND TERM • Keynesianism based on theories of British economist “John Maynard Keynes” – 1936 argued that gov’t should spend heavily in a recession, even if it required deficit spending, to jump start economy – According to Keynesianism Roosevelt did wrong thing when cutting back programs • Roosevelt didn’t want to continue deficit spending • Critics said this showed that public too dependent on gov’t spending • Spring 1938 Roosevelt asked Congress for 3.75 billion for WPA and PWA to again stimulate economy THE NEW DEAL COALITION • THE NEW DEAL ENDS • MAIN IDEA – The New Deal expanded federal power over the economy and established a social safety net THE NEW DEAL ENDS • Roosevelt knew that despite progress in American, many people still poor – “I see one-third of the nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill- nourished…” • The Last New Deal Reforms – Goal for 2nd term, better housing for nations poor • A lot of support from Eleanor Roosevelt (had seen poor with own eyes) – National Housing Act -> Created United States Housing Authority • 500 million to subsidize loans for buildings providing low-cost housing THE NEW DEAL ENDS – Roosevelt also wanted to help nations tenant farmers – AAA had hurt tenant farmers by allowing land owners to get rid of them (owners paid to not farm) • Over 150,000 white and 195,000 African American’s left farming due to this – To stop trend, created Farm Security Administration • Give loans to tenants to buy farms THE NEW DEAL ENDS • To help workers, last New Deal act was Fair Labor Standards Act – Abolished child labor – Limited the work week to 44 hours for most workers – Set first federal minimum wage ($0.25 per hour) – Last major piece of New Deal Legislation – Republicans won seats in congress and were able/began to block New Deal Legislation THE NEW DEAL ENDS • The New Deal’s Legacy – Had limited success in ending the Depression – Unemployment remained high and economic recovery not complete until after World War II – However, gave Americans strong sense of security and stability – Gave Federal gov’t new role of protecting various interests of farmers, businesses, workers, homeowners etc • Supreme court decision also gave federal government more power over economy • Allowed them to mediate between competing groups THE NEW DEAL ENDS • New Deal established “broker state” – Gov’t works out conflicts among different interests – Broker state has continued since the New Deal • New Deal developed new public attitude toward government – Created “safety net”: safeguards and relief programs to protect against economic disaster – End of 1930s many felt gov’ts duty maintain safety net • Critics say New Deal made gov’t too powerful – Continue to debate how much gov’t should intervene in the economy or support the disadvantaged REVIEW 1.

  • Chapter 18: Roosevelt and the New Deal, 1933-1939
    Roosevelt and the New Deal 1933–1939 Why It Matters Unlike Herbert Hoover, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was willing to employ deficit spending and greater federal regulation to revive the depressed economy. In response to his requests, Congress passed a host of new programs. Millions of people received relief to alleviate their suffering, but the New Deal did not really end the Depression. It did, however, permanently expand the federal government’s role in providing basic security for citizens. The Impact Today Certain New Deal legislation still carries great importance in American social policy. • The Social Security Act still provides retirement benefits, aid to needy groups, and unemployment and disability insurance. • The National Labor Relations Act still protects the right of workers to unionize. • Safeguards were instituted to help prevent another devastating stock market crash. • The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation still protects bank deposits.

Before FDR rose to national prominence in the early 1930s, the party had represented a loose conglomeration of local and regional interests. Dominated by the “solid South” that dated to post–Civil War Reconstruction, this group also included Great Plains and Western farmers influenced by the Populist and Progressive movements, as well as the burgeoning ethnic populations of the great cities of the North and East, where the “machine politics” epitomized by New York City’s Tammany Hall ruled the day.

  • Hope:The Great
    Hardship and 2 2 Hope: The Great Depression of the 1930s During the Great Depression, why would a Native American become a popular national leader promoting the common good? Will Rogers was a Cherokee, a comedian, a plainspoken critic of the nation’s rich and powerful, a movie star, a journalist, and an adviser to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR). In contrast to earlier notions of the United States as an Anglo-Saxon country into which newcomers might assimilate, Rogers articulated a new Americanism that included ethnic minori- ties. The Great Depression tarnished the status of the business elite and opened up the political process to party realignments and new leaders. The popular culture expressed this new Americanism; Will Rogers was its most prominent voice. The Great Depression gave rise to a cultural and political upheaval that helped propel Rogers to stardom and political influence. President Franklin Roosevelt coveted his support, and Rogers obliged by promoting the New Deal, the presi- dent’s program for economic recovery. However, Rogers also pushed the president to the left by advocating such measures as taxing the rich and redistributing wealth. In 1932, Oklahoma nominated Rogers for president as the state’s favorite son; three years later, California Democratic leaders urged him to run for the Senate. But in 1935, before any of these possibilities could come to fruition, Rogers died in a plane crash.

Roosevelt and the Protest of the 1930s* Seymour Martin Lipset** INTRODUCTION The Great Depression sparked mass discontent and polit- ical crisis throughout the Western world. The economic break- down was most severe in the United States and Germany, yet the political outcome differed markedly in the two countries. In Germany the government collapsed, ushering the Nazis into power. In the United States, on the other hand, no sustained upheaval occurred and political change resulting from the eco- nomic crisis was apparently limited to the Democrats replacing the Republicans as the dominant party.' Why was the United States government able to survive intact the worst depression in modern times? Much of the answer lies in the social forces that have his- torically inhibited class conscious politics in the United States. Factors such as the unique character of the American class structure (the result of the absence of feudal hierarchical so- cial relations in its past), the great wealth of the country, the * This Article is part of a larger work dealing with the reasons why the United States is the only industrialized democratic country without a significant socialist or labor party.

  • Franklin Roosevelt and His New Deal: a Rhetoric of Class-Consciousness and the Role of Identification
    Franklin Roosevelt and His New Deal: A Rhetoric of Class-Consciousness and the Role of Identification by Ben Narrell A thesis presented to the Honors College of Middle Tennessee State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the University Honors College. Fall 2020 Franklin Roosevelt and His New Deal: A Rhetoric of Class-Consciousness and the Role of Identification by Ben R. Narrell APPROVED: ______________________________________ Dr. Julie Myatt, Thesis Director Professor of English Dr. Kate Pantelides, Second Reader Associate Professor of English ___________________________________ Dr. John R. Vile, Thesis Committee Chair Dean, University Honors College Acknowledgments I would like to first express my gratitude for Dr. Julie Myatt, whose guidance and input over the past year has been invaluable to this project. Thank you to her, as well as all those in the University Honors College, for so much patience. I would like to also thank my parents, Jason and Susan, as well. I’ve appreciated, and needed, their constant support over the past twenty-one years. iii Abstract Using an understanding of rhetoric put forward by Kenneth Burke, one which emphasizes the role of identification in rhetorical interaction, this project examines the techniques used by Franklin Roosevelt to raise the class-consciousness of American workers in the midst of the Great Depression. By implementing rhetorical techniques such as metaphors and allusions, often historical or religious, FDR was able to educate regular Americans on their material roles and conditions, foster solidarity between them, and inspire action that would shift the balance of power and help bring working people out of economic crisis.

  • The New Deal Coalition
    The New Deal Coalition Objective: To understand the impact of the New Deal. Roosevelt’s Second Term As the election of 1936 approached, millions of voters owed their jobs, mortgages, and saved bank accounts to the New Deal. Eleanor Roosevelt helped persuade African Americans and women to support FDR in the election. The followers of Huey Long joined those of Father Coughlin and Francis Townsend to form the Union Party. On election day, Roosevelt won more than 60 percent of the vote and carried every state except Maine and Vermont. The Court Packing Plan In 1936, the Court declared the Agricultural Adjustment Act unconstitutional with cases pending on Social Security and the Wagner Act. Roosevelt responded by sending a bill to increase the number of justices under the conditions; if justices didn’t retire by the age of 70 while serving for 10 years. The court-packing plan created the impression that the president was trying to interfere with the Constitution’s separation of powers and undermine the Court’s independence. The result was the Supreme Court upheld the Wagner and Social Security Act, but the Senate killed the court-packing bill. The Roosevelt Recession Unemployment leaped in 1937 after Roosevelt attempted to balance the budget by cutting funds to the WPA and the PWA significantly. At the same time, the first Social Security payroll taxes removed $2 billion from the economy. The result was the economy plummeted and about two million people had lost their jobs. John Maynard Keynes argued that the government should spend heavily during a recession, even if it lost money, in order to jumpstart the economy.
