                                    1. Taking the USA off the Gold Standard was mostly benificial. The financial markets became much more stable.
                                      1. Many public work schemes provided much-needed employment rather than just giving relief payments.
                                        1. CWA provided temporary employment for 4 million workers who built sewers, roads and airports.
                                          1. Changed the national mood from hopelessness to optimism.

                                              1. Wheat production did fall but not due to federal policies.
                                                1. Made problems worse for sharecroppers by reducing the amount of land used to grow cotton.
                                                2. Little direct action to help African-American poor.
                                                3. OPPOSITION TO THE FIRST NEW DEAL
                                                  1. Lessened the impact of the depression for many but brought no real recovery in industry or agriculture. Unemployment rates were still high. The drought lead to the dust bowl on the Great Plains.
