The New Deal!

The New Deal was a series of programs, policies, and projects implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Great Depression, which lasted from 1929 to the late 1930s. The New Deal aimed to provide relief, recovery, and reform to those affected by the economic crisis.

Some of the key components of the New Deal include:

  1. Works Progress Administration (WPA): A program that provided jobs for millions of Americans, including artists, writers, and musicians.
  2. Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC): A program that employed young men in conservation and infrastructure projects.
  3. Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA): A program that provided direct financial assistance to states for relief efforts.
  4. National Recovery Administration (NRA): A program that established codes of fair competition, set minimum wages and working conditions, and provided jobs.
  5. Social Security Act: A law that established a system of old-age pensions, unemployment insurance, and assistance for families with dependent children and the disabled.
  6. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA): A program that developed the Tennessee River valley, providing flood control, electricity, and economic development.
  7. Public Works Administration (PWA): A program that funded large-scale infrastructure projects, such as roads, bridges, and public buildings.

The New Deal had a significant impact on American society and economy, including:

  1. Job creation: The New Deal created millions of jobs, helping to reduce unemployment from 25% to 14% by 1937.
  2. Economic recovery: The New Deal helped to stabilize the economy, paving the way for the country's recovery from the Great Depression.
