Why were programs such as the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and Works Progress Administration (WPA) credited with helping to unite Americans?

Federal programs allowed people of different background to work together.

The CCC and WPA got people from a wide range of experiences together for the first time and broke apart some of the arbitrary lines that divided Americans. It allowed people from cities and the country and of different religions to live and work together and to see that there is more that unites us than divides us.
