New Deal Coalition

The New Deal Coalition was a political alliance formed in the 1930s during President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal programs, which aimed to lift the United States out of the Great Depression. This coalition brought together diverse groups, including labor unions, African Americans, farmers, urban workers, and intellectuals, who supported FDR’s initiatives. It transformed the Democratic Party into a powerful force by uniting these varied interests around shared goals like economic recovery, social justice, and government intervention in the economy. This coalition remained influential in American politics for several decades.
