Question

The Civilian Conservation Corps:

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is E. Put young men to work in national parks.

Explanation:

The Civilian Conservation Corps was a project created to give jobs to young men and in this way keep the natural resources around the country. President Roosevelt had the idea of motivating Congress to create the Civilian Conservation Corps because of the economic problems which led to the Depression at that time.

The Congress finally approved the project and many conservation jobs were given to unemployed men from 18 years old to 25 years old. They had to work in semi-military camps in rural areas. Some people used to call this project as “Roosevelt’s Tree Army,” because the project's idea was the plantation of many trees.

African American men were the people who had the biggest impact in the Civilian Conservation Corps in North Carolina, and they helped to the improvement of many parks through the plantation of many trees.
