New Deal

The New Deal was a series of programs and policies implemented in the United States during the 1930s, aimed at recovering from the Great Depression. Introduced by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, it focused on three main goals: relief for the unemployed, recovery of the economy, and reforms to prevent future depressions. Key initiatives included job creation through public works projects, the establishment of Social Security, and regulatory reforms in banking and finance. The New Deal significantly reshaped the role of the federal government in American life and laid the groundwork for modern social welfare programs.
