The success of Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Eighty years ago the New Deal was implemented into America in America’s greatest time of need. Not only was America extremely low from an economic point of view but America looked as if it might not survive as a country. The great depression wasn’t the worst crisis seen by a state or country but the worst crisis that the world had ever seen.

The AAA was looking to raise the prices of farm goods back to their best and it was doing just
