When the stock markets crashed and the Great Depression started, Congress passed new deals in hope of bringing America back to peace. 1929 was the start of it all. That year the stock market crashed leaving millions of americans unemployed. Due to the unemployment rate's going up congress passed a system called the new deal. In the New Deal programs were set helping Americans in need and even businesses with finances. They hoped America would be brought back to peace and people could go back to their normal lives.. In 1933 Roosevelt made the first fireside chat addressing the people of America who didn’t know where all their money went after depositing it in the banks.

The whole point of the new deal was to help people. Documents were used as evidence of both pros and cons of the new deal.

It gave them money they needed. Kind of like insurance in a way. This was good because it helped though who needed the money for medical reasons. Even though that sounds great there could have been many other ways the government could have saved money and helped more
