A poster from Roosevelt's New Deal. Roosevelt motivated the American people after the disastrous effects of the Great Depression. The radio and posters were the only mediums available to reach the general public.
Points to Ponder:
When looking at this poster, was this picture actually intended to give an accurate factual representation of what occurred, or was it intended to just give an impression of the truth? Remember, America was a segregated society in the 1930s.
Was this picture intended to persuade people to believe something? If so, what are they persuaded to believe in?
What propaganda techniques have been used in this poster?
What does the poster suggest about what was happening in the USA at the time? Is this poster an accurate reflection of what was happening at that time?
How does having the American flag in the background contribute towards the feeling of patriotism? Explain the effectiveness of the use of words "United we win"?
What is suggested by having both black and white represented on this poster?

Points to Ponder
Why was it necessary for the USA government to give free classes concerning jobs in the 1930s?
This poster suggests unemployment was a problem for men and women between the ages of 16 and 25 years of age. Was this the case in America in the 1930s? Explain.

Points to Ponder
What was the purpose behind the Civilian Conservation Corps? Why did the CCC fall away in 1941?
How successful was the CCC?
How many people did the CCC employ at any given time between 1933-1941?
"Pay was low and was described by some as forced labour." Does this mean that the CCC was a failure?
