The Great Depression was one of the worst economic catastrophes in American history and a major disaster of the modern era. It was harrowing to experience. People were starving, even in the land of plenty. It triggered political upheavals in Europe that had devastating consequences. And it was so persistent that it only yielded to another global tragedy: The Second World War. And the poor people because Harlem had an unemployment rate of 50 percent and property owned or managed by blacks fell from 30 percent to 5 percent. 2. What laws passed as part of the New Deal were designed to prevent future depressions? The "First New Deal” encompassed the proposals offered by a wide spectrum of groups (not included was the Socialist Party, whose influence was all but destroyed). This first phase of the New Deal was also characterized by fiscal conservatism and experimentation with several different, sometimes contradictory, cures for economic ills. He used this powerful electoral force to push through Congress a far-reaching program called the New Deal. It launched bold measures to promote economic reform and recovery, and it enacted unprecedented laws to protect ordinary citizens. 3. How did the Great Depression change the way Americans viewed their presidents? President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to launch economic and social reforms that still benefit the living standards and quality of life for many Americans today.
