The CCC was created in
April of 1933.
It took only 37 days into
Roosevelt’s office for
this to be done.
The CCC was only a
small portion of what
Roosevelt did in his first
100 days as a part of this
New Deal.

As times got rough,
Roosevelt concerned
himself with revitalizing
the economy, this mean
getting people to work.
As well as getting people
back to work the CCC
would help reshape the
country, as most of the
projects were public works
related.

The CCC was one of the
most successful New Deal
programs of the great
depression.
A strong legacy of roads,
bridges, and buildings
would be left behind.
Even decades later when the
job market picked back up,
business owners preferred
hiring men who had
formally been in the CCC, as
they had known what a full
day of work was like.

Although their was still
work to be done, after the
attack of Pearl Harbor,
most agreed that defense
had to come first.
With the recognition of a
potential war, a joint
committee of congress
recommended that the
CCC should be abolished
by July 1, 1942.
It was technically never
abolished, although
Congress never gave the
program any additional
money.
