New Deal

Farmers in America did well out of the New Deal. The farmers of America did not prosper in the so-called Roaring Twenties. They were simply too successful in that they produced far too much for the American market. With western Europe as a market effectively closed to them as a result of a tariff war, the farmers could only sell in America. Too much product for too few people caused prices to plummet. Farmers had to sell to whoever would offer a price for their goods. Bankruptcy followed bankruptcy among farmers in the mid-West.

Propaganda














































Progressivism

Temeprance in a way failed.
It was successful by the number of people who joined the movement and the number of people that continued to get involved. The Temperance movement didnt stop the drinking all together, it more slowed it down for a little while. Like today, drunks everywhere, so you could say that we as Americans haven't really steared away from alcohol addictions but took our rights alittle more for granted then what we should when it comes to drinking.
