Answer 2

The sheer notion that this is a project determines that you will NOT get ALL the information you need here.
I am a social studies teacher and I pull tons of info from this site: http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/index.html There is a whole section of photos divided by topic.

The best thing that can be said about FDR's New Deal is that it instilled within the people a confidence in the future. It did get people working again: the federal writer's project, TVA, CCC, check on these and if necessay I have a powerpoint that may be helpful.

Answer 3

Greetings!

As you know the US was in the midst of a depression. There was no industrial entity to spur the economy into motion. Thus the only available means left to the government was to create work which in turn through people having money from wages, would trickle to the private sector and spur the economy.
This was branded politically as the New Deal.
Many public works projects were built as a result and the country was able as a result of the paycheck able to pull themselves out of the depression.

Good Luck

Roosevelt was elected during the great depression. His plan in the new deal was to put Americans back to work getting them off the bread lines.
His plan mostly involved the public sector: To that end he got Congress to prove construction of the Hoover Damn, the formation of the Tennesse Valley Authority, Two of the biggest public works projects in his New Deal.
Other public works projects included building roads, bridges, and public buildings.
Another major project was the reforestation of American's timeber lands.
In all cases the men worked for and were paid by the government.
One of the most lasting of the new deal is the Social Security insurance. Workers pay into the Social Security fund while working like paying into any other retirement and disability insurance fund. After reaching retirement the workers get paid a monthly retirement salary based on how much they made and paid into Social Security.
If the worker gets injured and is unable to work Social Security also covers that and her or she gets a monthly disabilty check again based in large part on how much they paid into the system.

The key factor in Social Security is that it is paid for with the money being taken out of your pay check for it in addition to income tax. It is now referred to as F.I.C.A If you work in America you will see it on your pay stub showing how much you made, how much income tax was with held. And how much F.I.C.A. tax was withheld.
The key factor with the American Social Security System is that it is not a hand out. The worker has paid into it like paying into a private retirement and disability furnd.

Did the new deal work? Good question although it put a large number of Americans back to work, the country still struggled because of the lack of manufacturing jobs until the start of WWII.

It did however change America's out look from gloom and despair to one of a sliver of hope!
The one lasting legacy of the new deal is the Social Security System. Although the American Congress continues to raid it to pay for their Pork Barrel projects.

That is just a very brief history of the New Deal. Hope that gives you at least a starting point.
