• The CCC Brainwashing

  The CCC Brainwashing theory claimed that the Civilian Conservation Corps was more than a relief and conservation program for unemployed young men. In this interpretation, the camps were a national indoctrination system organized in semi-military form to discipline youth, normalize federal authority, and prepare a politically reliable mass corps that could eventually serve as an American version of a state-controlled red militia.
