New Deal policies

The New Deal was a series of programs and policies implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s to combat the Great Depression. It aimed to provide economic relief, job creation, and social reform. Key initiatives included public works projects, financial reforms, and direct assistance to struggling Americans. Programs like the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the Social Security Act were designed to help the unemployed and protect the elderly. The New Deal fundamentally changed the role of the government in the economy, seeking to stabilize financial markets and promote social welfare.
