Cash and carry: was a policy requested by U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt at a special session of the United States Congress on September 21, 1939. It replaced the Neutrality Acts of 1936. The revision allowed the sale of material to belligerents, as long as the recipients arranged for the transport using their own ships and paid immediately in cash, assuming all risk in transportation.
Court Packing Scheme: In 1937 President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed a reorganization of the judiciary that included his controversial "court-packing" plan. This plan would allow the president to appoint a new Supreme Court justice whenever an incumbent judge reached seventy and failed to retire; a maximum of six judges could be named in this manner.
Executive Order 9066: United States Executive Order 9066 was a United States presidential executive order signed and issued during World War II by the United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, authorizing the Secretary of War to prescribe certain areas as military zones.

Huey Long: Huey Pierce Long, Jr. (August 30, 1893 – September 10, 1935), nicknamed The Kingfish, was an American politician who served as the 40th Governor of Louisiana from 1928–1932 and as a member of the United States Senate from 1932 until his assassination in 1935. A Democrat, he was an outspoken left-wing populist. During his tenure, he commanded large networks of supporters and was willing to take forceful action, influencing claims that he was a political boss.[1]
Kellogg Briand Pact: The Kellogg–Briand Pact (officially the Pact of Paris) was a 1928 international agreement in which signatory states promised not to use war to resolve "disputes or conflicts of whatever nature or of whatever origin they may be, which may arise among them".[1] Parties failing to abide by this promise "should be denied the benefits furnished by this treaty". It was signed by Germany, France and the United States on August 27, 1928, and by most other nations soon after. Sponsored by France and the U.S., the Pact renounced the use of war and called for the peaceful settlement of disputes. Similar provisions were incorporated into the UN Charter and other treaties and it became a stepping stone to a more activist American policy.[2] It is named after its authors: United States Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg and French foreign minister Aristide Briand.
Korematsu v. US: Korematsu v. United States, 323 U.S. 214 (1944),[1] was a landmark United States Supreme Court case concerning the constitutionality of Executive Order 9066, which ordered Japanese Americans into internment camps during World War II regardless of citizenship.
Lend Lease: the program under which the United States of America supplied the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, China, Free France, and other Allied nations with materiel between 1941 and 1945. It was signed into law on March 11, 1941, a year and a half after the outbreak of World War II in Europe in September 1939 but nine months before the U.S. entered the war in December 1941. Formally titled An Act to Further Promote the Defense of the United States, the Act effectively ended the United States' pretense of neutrality.
National Origins Act: A law that severely restricted immigration by establishing a system of national quotas that blatantly discriminated against immigrants from southern and eastern Europe and virtually excluded Asians. The policy stayed in effect until the 1960s.
Potsdam: Potsdam (German pronunciation: [?p?tsdam]) is the capital city of the German federal state of Brandenburg and part of the Berlin/Brandenburg Metropolitan Region. It is situated on the River Havel, 24 kilometres (15 miles) southwest of Berlin city centre.

Schecter v. US: A.L.A. Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States, 295 U.S. 495 (1935), was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that invalidated regulations of the poultry industry according to the nondelegation doctrine and as an invalid use of Congress's power under the commerce clause. This was a unanimous decision that rendered the National Industrial Recovery Act, a main component of President Roosevelt's New Deal, unconstitutional.
Teapot Dome: The Teapot Dome scandal was a bribery incident that took place in the United States from 1920–1923, during the administration of President Warren G. Harding.
Wagner Act: was enacted to eliminate employers’ interference with the autonomous organization of workers into unions.
Washington Naval Conference: The Washington Naval Conference, also called the Washington Arms Conference or the Washington Disarmament Conference, was a military conference called by President Warren G. Harding and held in Washington from 12 November 1921 to 6 February 1922. Conducted outside the auspices of the League of Nations, it was attended by nine nations—the United States, Japan, China, France, Britain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, and Portugal[1]—regarding interests in the Pacific Ocean and East Asia. Soviet Russia was not invited to the conference. It was the first international conference held in the United States and the first disarmament conference in history, and as Kaufman, 1990 shows, it is studied by political scientists as a model for a successful disarmament movement.
Yalta: The Yalta Conference, sometimes called the Crimea Conference and codenamed the Argonaut Conference, held February 4–11, 1945, was the World War II meeting of the heads of government of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union, represented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and General Secretary Joseph Stalin, respectively, for the purpose of discussing Europe's post-war reorganization. The conference convened in the Livadia Palace near Yalta, in the Crimea.

In this picture, you can see all the different acts TR passed during the New deal, and you can see him waiting by them eagerly, as to see if any of them have produced anything.
This is important because it depicts how Roosevelt treated his term, he just spammed Congress with all these acts and laws, similar to throwing mud on the wall, and seeing what would stick. Some also refer to this time as the time of "Alphabet Soup", because of the amount of acts and administrations passed, and all the different acronyms.

"Italian Feed" http://www.loc.gov/teachers/classroommaterials/lessons/using-history/italian.html
This document consists of a few quotes from Italian women who had immigrated to the U.S., describing how they make a living and why they chose that path. It tells how white Americans loved the Italian's cooking, so many of them turned their homes into restaurants where people pad to come and eat. This is significant because it shows how the different cultures mixed to create the "Melting pot" image of America, while also explaining why Americans favored the Italian immigrants the most out of any other nationality. I chose this document because this was how my great-grandmother made her living after immigrating from Calabria in Italy to Erie, Pennsylvania, while her husband went to work in the nearby coal mines.

"Women and the New Race"
Margeret Sanger writes this book about the newly adopted feminism in the world. She tries to push towards the acceptance of controlling the reproductive system in young women and fights for their rights in having birth control. Although she pushed over the line of religion and feminism, she soon took charge and showed how it would help and demonstrated a needed role model for the women during the hard times of the Depression.
Margeret Sanger, in my eyes, had a lot of pull for feminism in the Roaring 20's. She didn't give up even when it got harder to defend why she wanted these rights for her women. She demonstrated a very dedicated role model for the women, which I think gave the women hope-the hope that they could achieve what they never thought they could before. Margeret Sanger made it possible for the women in the country now to fight for their rights and know that they are equal to the men.
