What were the 2 reasons Eugene Talmadge did not support the New Deal Programs?
1) Eugene Talmadge, as a staunch conservative, opposed the New Deal programs on ideological grounds. He believed in limited government intervention in the economy and felt that the New Deal policies expanded the power of the federal government too much, infringing upon states' rights and individual liberties.
2) Talmadge also opposed the New Deal programs because they often benefited African Americans and other minority groups. He was a vocal white supremacist and segregationist, and he strongly opposed any efforts to promote racial equality or improve the conditions of African Americans. Talmadge saw the New Deal programs as a threat to his vision of maintaining white dominance and racial segregation in the South.
