Write at least one piece of EVIDENCE that supports your CLAIM statement above. (According to Doc ___, it says...)
( the New Deal a success )
document A
President Roosevelt gave this speech over the radio on May 7, 1933, two
months after he became president. He called these radio addresses
“fireside chats,” and this was his second one as president.
Tonight, I come for the second time to tell you about what we have
been doing and what we are planning to do. . . .
First, we are giving opportunity of employment to one-quarter of a
million of the unemployed, especially the young men, to go into forestry and
flood prevention work. . . .
Next, the Congress is about to pass legislation that will greatly ease
the mortgage distress among the farmers and the home owners of the
nation, by easing the burden of debt now bearing so heavily upon millions
of our people. . . .
I know that the people of this country will understand this and will also
understand the spirit in which we are undertaking this policy. . . .
All of us, the Members of the Congress and the members of this
Administration owe you, the people of this country, a profound debt of
gratitude.

One piece of evidence that supports the claim that the New Deal was a success comes from Document A, where President Roosevelt states, "First, we are giving opportunity of employment to one-quarter of a million of the unemployed, especially the young men, to go into forestry and flood prevention work." This statement highlights the immediate impact of the New Deal in providing jobs to a significant number of unemployed individuals during the Great Depression, indicating a successful effort to address the economic crisis and reduce unemployment.
