Watch the following 4 video segments and complete the worksheet.
Background:
President Franklin D. Roosevelt sought to solve Depression-era problems by providing government solutions via "relief", "recovery", and "reform". Review the meaning behind each of FDR’s "Three R’s".
- Relief: Actions the government can take to solve the immediate problem, in this case, the destruction of people’s livelihoods caused by the Dust Bowl.
- Recovery: Actions by government to return people and the land back to their condition prior to the Dust Bowl.
- Reform: Policies created by government to ensure that destruction caused by the Dust Bowl does not recur in the future.
01 Relief: Dorothy Williamson was hired as a social worker, trained by the federal government, and dispatched to Southeastern Colorado. Listen to her first-person account of the experiences she had speaking with victims of the Dust Bowl.
|
02 Recovery: In 1935, 850 million acres of topsoil were swept off the Great Plains, with more dust storms to come. As the crisis grew worse, President Franklin Roosevelt's inner circle fought to save the land and the people.
|
03 Reform: In the summer of 1936, President Roosevelt took a whistle-stop tour across the Midwest and Northern Plains to see the crisis himself. He inspired enthusiastic but weary audiences.
|
04 Government Reform Programs: By 1937, Dust Bowl farmers asked the government for help in regulating the land by forcing other farmers to take better care of their soil. It was a substantial, ideological turnaround for many farmers who had previously demonstrated independence and suspicion of the government.
