2) Write a 100 word paragraph answering this question: "What was it about Hitler's personality and/or ideas that allowed him to gain as much power as he did over the German people?".

New Deal: Political Cartoons
As we've noted in the past, political cartoons are an entertaining way to get a glimpse into how people thought about major issues in our history as they were happening.
For this week's blog, please conduct a Google search on "New Deal Political Cartoons". Find one that seems interesting and do some research on it.
Look for items like-where was it published? when? what is happening in the cartoon? what symbolism do you see in the cartoon? was the artist critiquing or supporting FDR's New Deal?
For the comments, post a link to the cartoon and write 200 words detailing the information you found.
Remember-you cannot do the same cartoon as someone else!
