¶ … New Deal Program in Florida
Why was the program needed in Florida?
Florida's economic boom went downhill despite the growth in the early 1920s. Severe hurricanes damaged a significant part of Florida, including Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, and Miami areas. A consequent outbreak of the Mediterranean fruit fly spread across Florida State thereby killing most of the citrus crop. Crop destruction and severe hurricane damages led to the downfall of Florida's economy. The 1929 Great Depression characterized falling stocks whereby investors lost all their invested monies. National banks also shut their doors leading to lose of savings that individuals banked in these financial institutions. The Great Depression affected more than 90,000 families in Florida State (Hiltzik, 2012). It was difficult for the state to sustain and support her residents due to the natural and economic disasters. As President Franklin D. Roosevelt assumed office in 1933, he came up with the "New Deal." The deal consisted of various promises and ideas of getting people out of the economic meltdown situation. The set of proposed programs aimed at rebuilding the country's failed economy.
What functions did the program serve in Florida?
The Civilian Conservation Corps, CCC served to get young men all over America to work in camps....
Approximately 40,000 individuals from Florida participated in CCC works. In return, they received food, clothing, and remuneration in the form of cash sent to their families. In Florida, tasks assigned to these young individuals included cutting down trees to build fire lines. While seeking to replace the felled trees, CCC planted 13 million trees (Hiltzik, 2012). CCC also engaged in building federal buildings, schools, state parks, and wildlife preserves. The program also facilitated the rebuilding of the Overseas Railroad that connected Miami to Key West. The "New Deal" project has also served in enabling Florida to own most of its conservation preserves and parks.
The Works Progress Administration (WPA) offered jobs to editors, researchers, and writers. The program also targeted employment of millions of workers within states and local governments. Through its administrative projects, WPA managed to engage in preservation and conservation acts of Florida's cultural and natural diversities. A relevant product of WPA includes the Writers' Project and the Art Project in Florida. Through these projects, thousands were employed. A notable figure Ms. Zora Neale Hurston, the renowned African-American novelist, anthropologist, folklorist, and playwright (Grunwald, 2012).

American politics took another turn with problems that would lead to the Civil War, as the North and the South each had their own interests. Tariffs to protect some Northern manufacturing interests greatly angered the South leading to attempts to nullify acts of the federal government, ultimately resulting in conflict between the powers of the states and the federal Union. The result of this conflict led to the Civil War and American political development became one
" In other words, republicanism in an expanding state would inevitably lead to more despotic, aristocratic, and monarchical regimes. Hence, if the U.S. were to follow a policy of expansion, it would, at least, theoretically conflict with its republican origins. Interestingly, one of the leading proponents of republicanism, Thomas Jefferson had become the third U.S. President after an unexpected electoral crisis in the elections of 1800. He was a great champion

The presidents that served between 1789 and 1840 helped shape the nation during its formative years. During this critical period in American history, statesmen laid the foundations for political culture, philosophy, and institutions. Although all the presidents during this fifty-year period had some influence on the early republic, several left a more outstanding mark and legacy. As a Founding Father and author of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson undoubtedly
SOCIAL WELFARE POLICY has always been a controversial subject in the United States because of the difference between its perceived and real benefits. Usually public is unable to decide who are social welfare programs designed for and whether they actually benefit the target population.
