On March 4, 1933 FDR became the 32nd president and it was up to him to devise a plan to help the nation get out of the Great Depression. He developed a proposal called the New Deal. The New Deal contained programs that provided funds and ideas to help fight the effects of the depression. For example, it would help aid those hungry, unemployed, homeless, broke, and etc. When the stock market crashed, more than 12 million Americans were unemployed and 1 million were absolutely broke. FDR’s New Deal programs would help not only the people but give aid to the banks, businesses in debt, farmers, industries, and would begin public construction such as building parks. FDR hoped that the New Deal programs would ease the tensions the Depression strung against the whole nation.

Not to mention how many industries changed... workers were soon guaranteed the right to join a Union and the working conditions changed for the better. This was only the beginning of the list stating how much the New Deal helped. Without FDR going in and taking action with creating these programs, America might of still been in that depression to this
