Source: William E. Leuchtenburg, Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal, 1932-1940 (1963).The New Deal achieved a more just society by recognizing groups which had been largely unrepresentedstaple farmers, industrial workers, particular ethnic groups, and the new intellectual-administrative class. Yet this was still a halfway revolution. It swelled the ranks of the bourgeoisie but left many Americanssharecroppers, slum dwellers, most Negroesoutside the new equilibrium The New Dealers perceived that they had done more in those years than had been done in any comparable period of American history, but they also saw that there was much still to be done, much, too, that continued to baffle them.Briefly explain how ONE development from 1932 to 1941 not directly mentioned in the excerpts challenges Leuchtenburgs argument.
