Question

3 In 1933, thousands of young men came to serve in Franklin D. Roosevelt's conservation corps. They came from all over America--from the cities, small towns, and farms. These men opted for long days and hard, dirty work, living in quasi-military camps far from home. They earned money to send to their needy families, received three square meals a day, and escaped from idle purposelessness by contributing to the renewal and beautification of the country.

What made working with the CCC difficult? (paragraph 3)

Answer 1

Working with the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was difficult due to the long days and hard, dirty work that the young men had to endure. Additionally, they lived in quasi-military camps that were far from home, which likely added to the challenges of their experience. Despite earning money to support their families and receiving meals, the demanding nature of the labor and the separation from home made the work challenging.
