Question

Which was not a goal of the Civilian Conservation Corps? a) to provide military training to young American men b) to provide relief for those in need c) to provide jobs and encourage business d) to reform the government and businesses to prevent another depression

Answer 1

Answer:

To provide military training to young American men.

Explanation:

While the Civilian Conservation Corps was a strategic policy to address the depression and hardship faced by the citizenry, providing military training to young men was never a goal.

Among the goals however are;

- To provide relief for those in need

- To provide jobs, boost trade and encourage businesses

- To reform the government and businesses and prevent another depression.

The CCC policy was deployed by President Roosevelt in 1933, as his response to economic hardship and depression. However, the manner and procedures varies, and while providing military training could be one of the means, it was never one of the goals. The underlying goal, therefore, is improved economy and human well being.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option a) "to provide military training to young American men".

Explanation:

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a program that operated in United States from 1933 to 1942 as an effort to get unemployed and unmarried men into voluntary public work. It is false to affirm that a goal of CCC was to provide military training to young American men. The camps of the CCC were controlled by reserve officers of the U.S. army but  there was no military training for the men that assisted to the camps.
