This episode of APUSH for ALL explores the election of 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, and its lasting impact on America. Facing the depths of the Great Depression, FDR’s landslide victory over Herbert Hoover marked a shift toward government intervention. His First 100 Days introduced sweeping reforms like the Emergency Banking Act, CCC, WPA, and Social Security. Historians debate whether the New Deal ended the Depression or if WWII was the true catalyst for recovery. The episode highlights how the New Deal reshaped expectations of government, influencing modern policies and debates over economic intervention that persist today.
