Critics disapproved of the TVA primarily because it represented government control over an industry that was traditionally managed by private enterprises, raising concerns about competition and governmental overreach. Additionally, the displacement of thousands of families due to the TVA's construction projects fueled local resentment and distrust towards the federal government's interventions. Lastly, the TVA was critiqued for its unequal employment opportunities, particularly excluding women.
