Answer:
The correct answer is D. The Works Progress Administration was able to build or renovate 110,000 public buildings (schools, post offices, government office buildings) and for constructing almost 600 airports, more than 500,000 miles of roads, and over 100,000 bridges; it also kept an average of 2.1 million workers employed and pumped needed money into the economy.
Explanation:
The Works Progress Administration was a government agency established during the Great Depression by President Roosevelt to help solve the massive unemployment problem at the time. It was the largest of the government agencies in the history of the United States created to set up relief and public works.
From 1935 to 1943, it provided jobs for about eight million people, costing about $11 billion. In almost every community in the United States, there are parks, bridges, and schools funded by the WPA. By 1940, it had built about 4,383 new school buildings, improved another 30,000, built 130 new hospitals, and improved another 1,670 hospitals.
Its largest single project was the Tennessee Valley Authority, whose mission was to build dams in the Tennessee Valley for power generation. Camp David and the Golden Gate Bridge were also built by the WPA.
After the end of the Civil war, the Republican party was left unchallenged in its authority over the country. It then started the process of Reconstruction of the South. This was faced by vehement opposition from the majority in the South that had supported the Confederate course. Those that supported these reforms were those that had been marginalized in the slavery system in the South. Others that supported the reforms projected to benefit from economic opportunities created by carpetbaggers looking to assert their authority in the south.
