- Description:
- This lesson serves as an introduction to a study of the New Deal. It’s based on letters written by Alabama citizens in 1934 asking for help from the state government. By analyzing these letters and the brief replies sent from the governor’s office, students will gain a sense of the human toll the Great Depression took in this state, the inadequacy of state government to respond, and the need for help at the federal level.
