Choose a character in history (for example, a woman, businessperson, African-American, socialist, large farmer, tenant farmer, city dweller, union worker, and so on). Describe your scenario for the period between 1933 and 1938. Is your character a supporter of FDR and the New Deal? What suggestions might your character offer for ending the Depression?

I choose to portray a union worker during the period between 1933 and 1938. Let's call him John. John is a member of a labor union and works in a factory in a major city. He has seen the devastating effects of the Great Depression on his fellow workers and their families.
John is a strong supporter of FDR and the New Deal. He believes that the government intervention and relief programs are necessary to help lift the country out of the economic crisis. He appreciates FDR's efforts to create jobs through public works projects and to provide social security for the elderly and unemployed.
However, John also has some suggestions for ending the Depression. He believes that the government should do more to regulate big businesses and ensure fair wages and working conditions for workers. He also thinks that investing in education and training programs for workers would help to create a more skilled and competitive workforce. Additionally, John believes that the government should provide more support for struggling farmers and small businesses to stimulate economic growth.
Overall, John is a dedicated supporter of FDR and the New Deal, but he also recognizes the need for additional measures to fully end the Depression and create a more equitable society.

For the most part, white southerners defended the "peculiar institution" whether or not they had slaves, whether they were rich or poor, and whether they lived on large plantations or small farms. Why was this the case?
On May 21, 2024
The defense of slavery by white southerners was deeply ingrained in the culture and economy of the South. Slavery was seen as essential to the success and prosperity of the region, and many white southerners believed that their way of life depended on the institution. Additionally, the ideology of white supremacy played a significant role in justifying and perpetuating the "peculiar institution." This belief in the inherent superiority of white people over people of other races led to the widespread acceptance and defense of slavery, regardless of individual wealth or social status. Furthermore, the economic benefits of slavery, such as cheap labor and increased agricultural production, provided a strong incentive for white southerners to defend the institution. Overall, a combination of cultural, economic, and ideological factors contributed to the widespread defense of slavery by white southerners.
