Martin Luther King Jr. Ivan Reategui English 10 Period 3G Mrs. Thirsk Ivan Reategui Mrs. Thirsk English 10 Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a legendary man. He revolutionized the way a black man was looked at. He is a hero because of the things he did and accomplished in his life spam.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the thirty-second President of the United States (1933-45), was the only United States President to be elected for four terms. FDR, as he was called, served during the worst times in the history of the United States, including the Great Depression and World War II. Born January 30, 1882 in Hyde Park, New York, his uncle was the former President, Theodore Roosevelt. His mother, Sarah Delano, was his father’s second wife, and she could trace her ancestry back to the Plymouth Colony. As the only son of a wealthy family, Franklin first attended the prestigious Groton School, where his sense of social responsibility was formed, and then went on to Harvard.
The New Deal – DBQ Casey Warner 3rd Period While some claim the economy did not improve until World War II and FDR did not help this, however FDR provided relief, recovery, and reform in ways such as immediate stoppage of economic free fall, the FDIC, and regulating stock and bond trading. Therefore FDR solved the Great Depression. One of FDR’s first orders of business was to respond to the need of reforming the banking system. FDR created the Emergency Banking Act that shut down all banks across the US and only allowed them to reopen upon government inspection. This proved effective as Americans began to restore their trust in the banking system.
Rosenberg also stated that he “closed all the banks” and let them “reopen once they were stabilized”, made programs like the AAA (Agricultural Adjustment Administration), the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps), and the WPA (Works Progress Administration) attempting to “help curb unemployment by hiring people for various projects”(Rosenberg). For Roosevelt’s presidency of a three year term he made these plans for Americans. Although the New Deal did not fix the economy, he did, however, “ease the hardships of the Great Depression” (Rosenberg). She said “The major turn-around for the U.S. economy occurred after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the entrance of the United States into World War II” (Rosenberg). President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared that we would join war so with his words we joined a war that turned our economy around.

Its purpose was to prevent commercial banks to use money that did not belong to them to engage in risky financial transactions and investments.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States, was born in 1882 in Hyde Park, New York, to James and Sara Delano Roosevelt. He led the United States through the Great Depression and World War II. FDR was the only president to have ever served more than eight years in office. Roosevelt gave the nation hope with his bold statement, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself" (http://www.whitehouse.gov/). Because of this and his unrelenting optimism, Franklin Roosevelt is widely regarded to be one of the greatest leaders of the United States.
These policies include a higher protective tariff and lower taxes. When Harding arrived in the white house, the nation was in the midst of a post-wartime recession as a result of the decrease in production of wartime materials. The Harding administration successfully stimulated the economy with local public works projects and business shared work programs. This recovery evolved into the economic boom and the innovation of the early 1920s that gave the era the nickname the “Roaring twenties.” The mind behind the Warren administration’s success was in fact the secretary of the treasury, Andrew Mellon. Mellon was a multi-millionaire from Pittsburgh who had a lot of experience with economics.
All the variation in public assistance could lead to migrations of welfare recipients to places where benefits are more generous. And some worry that the result could be a "race to the bottom" as local governments reduce benefits in an attempt to avoid attracting more poor people – or even drive them out entirely. The Politics Politically, welfare reform is perhaps the most conspicuous example of how President Clinton adopted – some say co-opted – parts of the Republican agenda. Historically, Democrats had defended the old welfare system against GOP attacks. Clinton defined himself as a centrist Democrat in his 1992 campaign in part by promising to "end welfare as we know it."
The New Deal was a plan that gave America a way to help the people. For the first time the government acts as a safety net for people, solving America’s poverty status. The Works Progress Administration was the largest and ambitious agency employing millions of unskilled workers. FDR had helped millions of unskilled workers find a job that benefited the people. The Civilian Conservation Corps is an agency that hired 250,000 unemployed young men to work on rural projects.
I believe that the New Deal was an important improvement to our country because it helped many people during a time of struggle. In 1935 congress calculated that the FDR programs provided approximately $800 million in Federal Funds and created millions of jobs. Many alphabet agencies including the Public Works Administration (PWA) brought multiple benefits to individuals as well as communities. This program was created by the National Industrial Recovery Act in June 1933 following the Great Depression. The goals of the Public Works Administration were to spend $3.3 billion in the first year, and $6
