    “THE BEST FORM OF ASSISTANCE ALWAYS IS THE KIND THAT ENABLES FOLKS TO HELP THEMSELVES”: PUBLIC REACTION TO THE NEW DEAL IN HANCOCK, SENECA, AND WOOD COUNTIES OF OHIO Anthony J. Bolton A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2021 Committee: Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor Michael Brooks © 2021 Anthony J. Bolton All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor The Great Depression and New Deal had a profound impact on the United States. It led to the need for fundamental changes in the nation, especially regarding the federal government’s role and size. The beginning of the Great Depression marked the end of the “New Era” that the United States had experienced in the 1920s. However, one group of Americans—farmers—did not participate in this “New Era,” including those in three Northwestern Ohio counties: Hancock, Seneca, and Wood. This study analyzes through voting and media analysis how these three counties reacted to the Great Depression and the New Deal from 1929 to 1936. As the Depression continued to worsen, their suffering continued and even worsened, and with Herbert Hoover’s inability to provide relief or a path to recovery, these counties and the rest of the nation turned to Franklin Roosevelt and his promise of a “new deal” to provide that relief. Within these counties, the New Deal was initially seen as successful; however, it was soon seen as having a corrosive effect on traditional American values. Because of this, these counties rejected Roosevelt and the New Deal in 1936, while the rest of the nation overwhelmingly supported him.

  • 1 the New Deal's Caring State: a Foundational Narrative
    1 THE NEW DEAL’S CARING STATE: A FOUNDATIONAL NARRATIVE FOR CONTEMPORARY PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION By DeLysa Burnier Professor Ohio University Department of Political Science Athens, OH 45701 [email protected] Prepared for delivery at the Anti-Essentialism in Public Administration Conference at Florida Atlantic University, Fort Lauderdale, FL, March 2-3 2007 2 ABSTRACT This paper argues that the “other” reform movement associated with the settlement women that Camilla Stivers’ identified in Bureau Men/Settlement Women (2000) does not disappear with the end of the Progressive era. In fact, the settlement women’s emphasis on care, connection, and concrete experience came to inform the national policies, values, and practices of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, most notably in the figure of Frances Perkins. Perkins, along with other New Deal women administrators, have long been omitted from American public administration’s history. This paper not only hopes to make Perkins and other New Deal women visible, but more importantly it seeks to establish a fresh reading of the period based on the care perspective. Such a reading would provide a more complex and gender inclusive view of the period than the familiar “textbook” narrative with its focus on government growth, executive reorganization, and the “principals approach” to management. By privileging the care perspective, this paper builds further on Stivers’ (2000) goal of creating a “usable past” for public administration scholars by extending it to the New Deal. That the care perspective is embedded in both the Progressive and New Deal eras helps make the case for establishing a care- centered public administration in this century.

  • HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES the NEW DEAL: the Distinction of the New Deal Lay Precisely in Its Refusal to Approach Social Problems in Terms of Ideology
    CONFRONT THE ISSUE THE NEW DEAL: DID IT WORK? Did the New Deal help to end the Great Depression, or did it prolong it? Did it go too far in regulating financial markets and creating a social safety net for Americans? Or should it have done more? What is the proper role of the federal government in the nation’s economy? Today, fundamental economic questions raised during the New Deal years remain at the center of our political life. Historians, economists and political commentators agree that FDR profoundly changed America’s government and economy. But they disagree—often passionately—about his legacy. Scroll down to view excerpts from the historical debate. CONFRONT THE ISSUE HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES THE NEW DEAL: The distinction of the New Deal lay precisely in its refusal to approach social problems in terms of ideology. Its DID IT WORK? strength lay in its preference of existence to essence. The great central source of its energy was the instinctive contempt of practical, energetic, and compassionate people for dogmatic absolutes. Refusing to be intimidated by abstractions or to be overawed by ideology, the New Dealers responded by doing things….Roosevelt hoped to steer between the extreme chaos and tyranny by moving always, in his phrase, “slightly to the left of center.” “Unrestrained individualism” had proved a failure; yet “any paternalistic system which tries to provide for security for everyone from above only calls for an impossible task and a regimentation utterly uncongenial to the spirit of our people.”…Roosevelt had no illusions about revolution….As Roosevelt saw it, he was safeguarding the constitutional system by carrying through reforms long overdue….He believed in government as an instrument for effecting economic change….He did not regard successful businessmen as infallible repositories of economic wisdom.
