To gain support for his cause, governor eugene talmadge argued that the new deal represented an attempt by the federal government to a. increase military spending. b. infringe upon states' rights. c. distract from imperialist activity abroad. d. cover up widespread corruption among leaders.

Talmadge argued FDR's New Deal programs were infringing on the rights of the states. A staunch Georgian Democrat, he believed in white superiority and the rules of the Jim Crow south. Programs like the WPA and the CCC allowed for black workers and in the South this was unacceptable and refuted their current social structure. Talmadge believed that the states should have the right to choose the workers for the programs implemented in their states.
