The New Deal pt.1

Several times I've heard people making comments about the majority of minorities being democrats and have also questioned the structure of our political system, asking why it is the way that it is? Well, much of the current framing of the government and the American society is because of The New Deal that took place under Franklin Delano Roosevelt terms, he promised the American people a new deal and that is what he gave us.The New Deal was a series of national programs that took place in the United States between 1933-1936 which involved laws passed by congress and presidential executive orders during Roosevelt's first term. The programs were put in place because of the great depression and these programs focused on relief, recovery and reform also known as the 3r's. The New Deal caused a political realignment and the democratic party held the white house for 7 out of 9 political terms from 1933-1969. Republicans split into conservatives and liberals. The conservatives opposed The New Deal saying that it was an enemy of business and growth, while liberals was with some of The New Deal and promised to make it work better. By 1936 the term liberal typically was used for supporters of The New Deal. 1934-1936 began the shift of political parties for African Americans, Roosevelt appointed an unprecedented number of blacks to second-level positions in his administration, these appointees collectively were called the black cabinet, at the same time Eleanor Roosevelt was one of The New Dealers that worked to ensure that blacks received at least 10% of there welfare assistance payments. In 1932 most African Americans voted for the republican ticket that began to change from 1934 and it was The New Deal and it's policies that helped establish a political alliance between blacks and the democratic party that survives up into the 21st century, up into this very day.
