I think that Eugene was a good guy for the most part and from his perspective he tried to just make things right, even thought he is a racist he did help farmers.

I think that Eugene Talmadge was a stubborn racist. He abused his power to get whatever he wanted. For example, Talmadge spent department funds on a scheme to raise the price of hogs. He also spent $40,000 from department funds on the Kentucky Derby. Furthermore, he attempted to fire two University System administrators, allegedly for advocating integrated public schools. When the Board of Regents refused, he fired them all, and replaced them with people who would do whatever he told them to do.

Eugene Talmage was very determined because he had perseverance, success, and education.
He had great education. He even opened his own practice. He also held minor political offices. He was very kind to farmers. He was also big economical and promised to help with prices. He wanted stuff done. When other types of branches didn't follow command he found a way to get around it. He eventually became a governor He also even went against the president!
Eugene was very determined.

Despite Eugene Talmadge speaking out about rights for farmers, he did little to help them. President Roosevelt put programs in place, such as the REA, to help farmers, yet Talmadge was against the New Deal. In my opinion, these two facts put together seem a little fishy. he saw the New Deal as a communist movement, and seemed to have not to have any concept of what the New Deal programs were in fact doing. His opposition of racial equality and the New Deal surprisingly had a minor effect on his time in office, as he was elected on four separate occasions. overall, Eugene Talmadge did not do much for Georgia and the country during his time in our government, and in my opinion he was not an honest and true leader to our country in its time of need.

In my perspective of Eugene Talmadge he was hard worker, especially in in political views. He was starting to be determined in his early life, with great success due to education. Becoming an adult Eugene, wanted to start his political life, but was unsuccessful. He eventually won, a political ballot and became the commissioner of agriculture. A downside to Eugene was he did not support the New Deal programs and was not in favor of civil rights for blacks.

Eugene Talmadge was a strong Georgia governor who strongly impacted the state for 20 years. He was opposed to black civil rights. He was also opposed to the New Deal and FDR. Talamdge was a popular democratic, but was also very contreversial. He helped farmers and and the rural areas as well.

# data[].attributes.body
In my perspective, Eugene Talmadge had genuine intensions in the long run, since he desired to run an economically strong government, balance the state budget, decrease utility rates, etc. However, his political views were based off of unrealistic expectations of unemployed and disadvantaged civilians. For instance, African Americans were not paid as much as whites, did not benefit from New Deal programs ,and most were tenant farmers that could not participate in the AAA program. In addition, landowners and tenant farmers could not advance economically only through hard work; they actually need government support in order to get on their feet. Ultimately, Talmadge was a hard worker, but his political opinions are unfathomable and unjust to black Americans.

Eugene Talmadge was a powerful governor and a member of a populist party. He did not believe in FDR's New Deal and was firmly against it. He was very popular in the rural areas, but he was also very racist. Though he was also in the democratic party, he was an oppenent to the president.

Eugene Talmadge was a popular and powerful leader in Georgia. Instead of listening to what his his coworkers said, he did what he believed was right. He eventually had to agree with FDR's New Deal, but at first he was against it it completley. My opinion of him is a stubborn, and self-centered man who abused his power to get what he wants.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Talmadge was stubborn to not use the New Deal programs. The New Deal programs were obviously helping America come out of the Great Depression. I also feel that Talmadge was racist because he didn't support the right for African Americans. Many people are racist, but one of the people who shouldn't be is your senator. Talmadge helped farmers a lot so therefore he was popular amongst farmers and that is theonly reason that he was re-elected.

# data[].attributes.body
Eugne Talmadge was a large obstruction to the Georgian and American people. The first point is his blatant abuses of power and acting outside the law to do so. For example, he declared martial law solely to remove uncooperative board members. He also sanctioned killings of black voters in order to assure reelection. That second point also leads into another thing, how Talmadge was a horrible racist. In a time when civil rights were improving, he did nothing to help. His opposition to New Deal programs was also a large problem. He wanted to champion farmers, but opposed parts of the new deal that would help them, likely only for his contrarianism. Things like the REA and CCC would only be a good thing to him and his voter base, but he blindly opposed them. Critics at the time called him a dictator, a supremacist demagogue, and considering his actions as Governor, it's possible he wasn't the best fit for the job. Due to his contrarian attitude, racist views, and and illegal or subversiive actions, Talmadge was a terrible politican who hurt Georgia exponentially.

# data[].attributes.body
Eugene Talmadge was right-wing leader to farmers, especially in rural areas. Very similar to those before him such as in the Bourbon Triumvirate, he was a white-supremacist who supported the rights of farmers and disliked FDR's "New Deal" programs very much. He was very much a typical politician in the south during the time period, as after the civil war many had shared these views especially in the former confederacy. There really isn't that much surprising about him compared to other leaders at the time such as FDR.

I think Eugen Talmadge was a stubborn, racist, and powerful leader with the wrong intentions. Why believe he is stubborn because he didnt agree with FDR's new deal. He was only in favor of the farmers and he segregated blacks and whites. he was so powerful because he got all the farmers from rural areas to back him up because thats where he was from.

Eugene Talmadge's heart was in the right place when it came to helping farmers, but he was also racist and used his power as governor to remove state officials working to integrate Georgia's state colleges. He was really, really against the New Deal because of "more government control" and such (ironic because there were two notable New Deal programs which would have helped the farmers he championed), but later ended up adapting New Deal programs upon his reelection in 1940.

Eugene Talmadge was a acute leader and held the hearts of many. He supported the rural areas who were ignored thus far and wanted more rights for them. He was a dedicated hardworking leader but his personal views also hurt him. His racist views made him into a bad person and his disagreement with FDR didn't help. He did not like the New Deal acts in fear that it was endangering segregation. He was a dedicated leader who was one of the few that took the time to help the rural portion of GA but he blew his power out of proportion. It was either his way or the highway and he made that very clear by firing those who disagreed with them or had them forcefully removed. He was a thoughtful leader but his disgusting racist views cancels that out.He also had involvement in KKK activity to also aid his views. In the end he was another white supremacist that abused his political power. Thus in my personal opinion Eugene was a horrible racist who took drastic measures to get what he wanted.

Eugene Talmadge was a strong supporter of farmers. He didn't like FDR and disagreed with the New Deal. He also served in many places in government. He was very well admired by the public. He also supported segregation and was one who admired unfair laws against blacks. He supported the country unit system as well. Many people saw him as a communist too. He was very racist and when he was elected as governor he used his powers to remove certain officials to gain more power against blacks and for farmers.

Eugene Talmadge was a powerful government leader. Even though he was liked in rural areas nd by farmers, he wasn't liked in other places because he was against black civil rights and didn't agree with FDR's New Deal programs. So, I think he was powerful but only had power because of the county unit system and he didn't have very positive opinions. He might have also been working with the KKK during his time in office too. He was a good leader, but a bad person.

# data[].attributes.body
Eugene Talmadge was a 3 term governor. He was very liked in rural areas, although he did acually have many ideas on how to help farmers. He was not well liked outside of rural areas because he hated the new deal programs. Some saw him as a threat to New Deal Programs. Even though the nation did not like him, he was still voted into office for two reasons.
1- The county unit systems made it so he rural votes were crucial. Since he was very liked in rural areas, he was elected.
2- Only whites in rural areas like Eugene. Infact Eugene was very racist (another reason pin eople didn't like him). The way h is believed to be by using KKK violence. Some believe he murdered people in order to be voted to office. On the day of election African Americans woke up with little coffins at their doorsteps, and soon before the election, posters were hung of African American churches, schools, etc. saying that the first black to vote would die.

Therfore, I beleive that Eugene Talmadge was a horrible person who should not have been in office.

Eugene Talmadge was popular amongst the agricultural field because he gave advice to improve the work of farmers. As well as, advocating for the farmers interest in the press. I believe Eugene Talmadge was only in the interest of his own gain, not the state of Georgia as a whole. He opposed FDR's New Deal plan which held back the state from progressing, and wasn't in the favor of African Americans. Overall, people either approved of the works of Talmadge, or disliked his views and actions.

# data[].attributes.body
Eugene Talmadge's ideology of farmers was admirable, wanting to assist farmers during the Great Depression. This made him a well liked public figure in rural areas of the state. The reason why he was considered a controversial figure was due to his radical ideas and beliefs. One these beliefs was his opposing ideas of both FDR and his New Deal plan. The state legislature constantly tried to undermine him and his actions. His view on African Americans made him a white supremacist. Then again, the South itself was still racist at the time. Talmadge's popularity was able to get him many prosperous jobs and positions in government

Eugene Talmadge  was an influential leader who had the support of farmers. He was against the New Deal and was an "outspoken opponent" of FDR. He is a racist person and he believes that he is right. When he attempted to fire two University System administrators for advocating for integrated public schools, the Board of Regents refused, he dismissed all of them and replaced them with people who would listen to him. In my opinion he was unfit to be Georgia's Governor if he is unable to fully represent the whole population since he used the KKK to stop African Americans from voting. He cannot call himself a representative of Georgia if he thinks that African Americans, who are citizens of the United States, should not be able to go to the same school as white students. I believe he was a close-minded person since he didn't agree with FDR's New Deal, which was designed to help the country get out of the Great Depression.

Eugene Talmadge lost a bit of his popularity because of him being against FDR. Roosevelt was a very popular president and when Talmadge went against him, a lot of people didn't like that. But, Talmadge did have a lot of supporters in Georgia considering he was elected for governor four times. Eugene Talmadge may have been so popular in Georgia because of his support of white supremacy and his support of farmers. Once Talmadge noticed his popularity with the farmers, he worked to gain their loyalty when it came time to vote. Because of this, Talmadge had many government jobs and opportunities. To Talmadge, earning the loyalty of the farmers was so important because if he earned the votes of people in rural areas, he was more likely to win due to the county unit system.

# data[].attributes.body
Eugene Tallmadge wanted to help Georgia in his own way. He believed that farms were more important, so he did not like the New Deal programs that wanted to add rules to farmers. He was popular to farmers and was a good powerful politician, but I believe that the New Deal was better for Georgia. He was biased to rural areas because he was born there. He was also a racist and opposed to rights for blacks, so that is not good.

I think that Eugene Talmadge was a racist because he would always support farmers and farmers are more racist. He was also a great polaition and he knew how to tip the balance in his favor.

Talmadge wanted the best for his state, specifically for the more rural parts of Georgia. He worked hard to appeal to the farmers but in his attempts, also managed to be racist. He tried to keep the New Deal from spreading in GA, because he wanted his ideas, not the president's. Instead of using his words like a decent human being, he used violence to keep whites in power. He also might have been involved in a lynching of two black couples. He might have been a hero to the farmers, but in reality he was just a white-supremacist murderer.
