(5 points)-3859591052The Democratic Party controlled the federal government for most of the 1930s. The Republicans’ mostly voluntary programs to remedy the ravages of the Great Depression had failed, so the 1932 Democratic Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president. Only the Northeast, a Republican stronghold, did not endorse Roosevelt. Elsewhere, his support was overwhelming.The Democrats had put together a new coalition of voters: urban immigrants, blue-collar workers of the industrialized North, African Americans, farmers of the Midwest and Great Plains and citizens in the “Solid South” joined to give the Democratic Party a national majority for the first time since the Civil War.These people had voted for change, and they got what they wanted. To put the nation on the road to economic recovery, Roosevelt pushed through a collection of work programs, often called “alphabet soup” for initials such as WPA and CCC. The mid-1930s marked the high point of these New Deal programs. Millions of people were put back to work, and many economic-recovery projects were in full swing.By the end of the 1930s, however, the situation had changed. The country, slowly climbing out of the depths of the Great Depression, had suffered another period of economic decline in 1937-1938, and unemployment was once again a major problem. Business leaders and Congress had become more vocal in their criticism of the New Deal, and many of its programs were ended. By the 1940 presidential election, eight states – all in the agricultural Midwest and Great Plains – had switched their support from Roosevelt to the Republican candidate, Wendell Willkie. Though Roosevelt’s popularity remained strong elsewhere, particularly in the Democratic stronghold of the South, it would take the U.S. involvement in World War II to jolt the nations’ economy into the full recovery that Roosevelt had been seeking.00The Democratic Party controlled the federal government for most of the 1930s.
