I think it is 1. A greater percentage chance of loss.
Slavery developed in southern colonies due to large populations of native americans died due to the diseases the colonists brought over and then the indentured servants from england did not have the skill set necessary for cropping/harvesting tobacco but they realized people from africa were used to the labor intensive work and were able to work long hours in the sun which led to the spread of slavery through triangular trade.
for Japanese Americans they faced discrimination. There homes was taken away and they where forced in to concentration camps. The Japanese Citizens in big and important citys faced bombing and there homes destroyed.
This is strictly my opinion but I believe it was a failure. It's original goal was the revitalize the American economy and pull us out of the Great Depression and get American's working again. In this it succeeded to an extent lowering the unemployment rate significantly however it still did not completely work since 15% of the United State's population was still jobless and in poverty. It won't be until WWII and the building of the arms industry as well as army that we will pull ourselves from the Great Depression.
