NEW DEAL ACT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW

President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law the Social
Security Act on August 14, 1935.

Press photographers snapped pictures as FDR, flanked by
ranking members of Congress, signed into law the historic
act, which guaranteed an income for the unemployed and
retirees in the wake of the Great Depression.

FDR commended Congress for what he considered to be a
“patriotic” act.

The Social Security system has remained popular and
relatively unchanged since 1935.

TREATY SIGNING ENDED THE INDIAN WAR

On August 3, 1795, the United States and Northwest Indian
Federation, a confederacy of tribal nations from the eastern
Great Lakes region, signed the Treaty of Greenville, pausing
two decades of hostility over territory disputes.

The Federation, comprised mostly of Shawnee, Delaware,
Iroquois, Ottawa, Ojibwa and Miami nations, had formed to
collectively defend its member nations’ ancestral lands from
being overtaken—often violently—by European settlers
moving westward since the American Revolution.
