The Perfect Historical Event

I recently had a historiographical conversation with my fiancé about the New Deal and we came to the conclusion that it is nearly the most perfect historical set of actions if looking at it from the eyes of the biased historian.  We came to this conclusion from educated, albeit it limited, knowledge of the historiography of the New Deal. Both of us have read Howard Zinn, and I have read Arthur Schlesinger.  In graduate school, I had to good fortune to study those who opposed the New Deal during the New Deal, but a basic search for opposition written as history will find little.  Out argument centered around two points

1) Those who typically offer a revisioned or liberal view of history loved the New Deal because it is a liberal set of laws, set forth by a liberal president, and was successful.  Had the New Deal taken a conservative tone, been put in by a conservative and been successful, many like Zinn would tear it apart. I do not see this is a folly by historians or those who support the New Deal in history.  It eventually worked, and it was wildly popular (with very notable and loud exceptions) when it was being implemented. The New Deal has stood the test of time, ink spilt, and come out as one of the most popular historical event.  A case for the perfect event, I think so. 

2) Those who would not write the New Deal in a favorable light are those on the right/ conservative side, but they are not the types to ridicule the past and those who took part in it.  They are far to penchant towards hero worship, even it a liberal hero.  It would nearly be Un-American to critic President Roosevelt and any of his action.  He was a president fergoodnesssake.  Had the New Deal not worked, I do not see an outpouring of critics either.  What little written about the New Deal being deem Unconstitutional in the history books is typically swept under the run with the pointing out of a Conservative Court who would have ruled against anything Roosevelt did. This brushing off by historians leads me to think that the likelihood of negative assessments of the New Deal would be at a minimum

It is these two (the peanut galley happy, and hero worshipers silent) points that led us to our conclusion.  Understandably there are plenty of books out there dedicated to a historiographical understanding of the New Deal, but it is the understanding and conclusion of this blogger that it is the perfect historioghapical event.
