Dear Eleanor,

As you know, I grew up in a wealthy family in New York. However, spending time in these rural parts of Georgia, in particular, Warm Springs, has helped me to be a better President during this time of our nation’s Great Depression. I see opportunities to create effective programs that may really help the poorest among us! I’m thinking of calling them America’s New Deal!

It is so different here in Warm Springs, GA. The waters and the rural lands here helps with Polio. is such a help to my body!

Dear Eleanor,

As you know, I grew up in a wealthy family in New York. However, spending time in these rural parts of Georgia, in particular, Warm Springs, has helped me to be a better President during this time of our nation’s Great Depression. I see opportunities to create effective programs that may really help the poorest among us! I’m thinking of calling them America’s New Deal!

It is so different here in Warm Springs, GA. The waters and the rural lands here helps with Polio. is such a help to my body!

When I come to Warm Springs I feel stronger. The warm water and simple life help my legs and my spirit. I built a little house here that folks call the “Little White House.” It is small but quiet, and I can think about the country when I am here. The therapy in the pools helps me move and keeps me working even when I am tired.

Talking to the farmers and workers in Georgia taught me a lot. I saw how hard it was for families without jobs or electricity. I met people who could not get good care, who had old houses, and who worried about feeding their kids. These meetings made me want to make programs that give jobs, help farms, and bring power to rural places. That is why many New Deal ideas were made to help small towns and farms like those in Warm Springs.

Your Franklin

Compare and contrast Talmadge with Roosevelt (DIY diagram, 3 points each)

Talmadge
- Against big federal programs and liked states to run things.
- Wanted to keep segregation and the old Southern way of life.
- Focused on helping white farmers and keeping local power.

Roosevelt
- Supported big federal programs like the New Deal to help many people.
- Wanted to help poor people of all places (though not always equally).
- Tried to bring jobs, farms help, and electricity to rural areas.

Why do you think black hatred was such a motivator that white southerners were against New Deal programs even if it was in their own self interest?

Many white southerners were afraid of losing their power and the old social order. They thought New Deal programs might help Black people the same as white people. This scared them because they wanted to keep things separate and keep control over jobs and land. Some leaders used racist talk to get votes and told white people to fear changes. Even if the programs would help their families, the fear of losing racial status and control made them reject the programs. Also, there was worry that federal rules would change how the South was run, and that made people resist too.
