New Deal Blog

I chose to agree with the arguments made by historians such as Lizabeth Cohen. The New Deal did in fact offer the relief that many Americans were looking for. Each one of Roosevelt's reform movements seemed to help the people and the economy in it's own way. I think that the New Deal satisfied the needs of many people even though there may not have been complete reform. Cohen argued that the New Deal didn't completely live up to the radical changes the people wanted but it satisfied them enough in a way that they were compatible with the security and self-determination they were seeking and the programs of the New Deal. I think that President Roosevelt did a good job in attempting to pull the country out of crisis and the people did find the New Deal satisfying and helpful which was displayed in Lizabeth Cohen's points.
