Eugene Talmadge

The New Deal's Greatest Enemy

This presentation will answer . . .

a. Political Career and

impact on the states of

Georgia.

b. Beliefs about

the New Deal.

Eugene Talmadge was an influential

man that impacted Georgia heavily.

His way of thinking caused the

citizens of Georgia to distance

themselves from each other,

which then led to them taking sides.

Many agreed with Eugene's vison, but

many others hated the idea of it.

He served 3 terms as state

commissioner of agriculture.

AND

he also served 3 terms as

the governer of Georgia.

He was elected 4 times into office as Governor of Georgia, but was unable to finish his 4th term due to his sudden death.

He balanced the State budget, lowered utility rates, reduced the price of automobile tags, and reorganized the state highway board.

BUT

He was also a strong supporter of white supremacy, and therefore disliked doing anything at all that benefits African Americans

in any way.

Because the New Deal assisted African Americans, Eugene Talmadge did not like the New Deal at all. Using his connections and sources, he did all he could in his power to make sure the New Deal didn't go into effect.

He managed to repeal some of the

early New Deal programs, but he

couldn't prevent all of them; it was

simply too much work he couldn't

do anything about.

His son, Herman Talmadge, later succeeded him as the Governor of Georgia after his death (which was the start of the Three Governors Controversy).
