TVA and the Dispossessed

TVA and disposal Norris Bassin are the first and most important laboratories in regional planning of the Tennessee Valley authorities. TVA was founded in 1918 after the First World War to end the dependence on Chilean nitrate for war production. A few years later, during the Great Depression of 1933 authorities began to acquire land at the top of Tennessee. Its main purpose is to build reservoirs and hydroelectric power plants at the church and the meeting of the Powell River.

The poor suffer from other famous New Deal policies such as the exclusivity of the Tennessee River Basin Authority. The dam is about 750,000 acres, the size of Rhode Island, and TVA's representatives are thousands. Poor black tenants do not have their possessions and are not compensated.

In 1933, President of the United States of America Franklin Roosevelt established the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). It occupies a unique position in American historical consciousness. TVA is using the Tennessee River to develop poverty areas in the south of the United States through a multifunctional dam system. It helps improve power generation, floods, navigation, and involves afforestation, agriculture and social programs. As a result, TVA gained the name of regional development through dam construction.

In 1933 Congress founded the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to maintain an area of ​​41,000 square miles constituting the Tennessee River Basin. In addition to navigation, flood control, defense management, TVA is also responsible for the production and distribution of hydroelectric power throughout the region. Private electric power companies compete with TVA for the physical and financial management of the nationwide electricity market. In addition to constructing transmission lines in front of TVA, private companies take legal action to shut off Federal funded power plants.

The opposite of TVA is primarily from private companies. Wendall Wilkie, President of the Federal and Southern Companies, the leading power companies, led the fight against TVA. Many lawsuits in the 1930s were related to TVA and the main content of the case insisted that the government exceeded the constitutional authority by entering the electricity business. John Bath, secretary general of the National Coal Association, testified in Congress and told many people in public works.
