New Deal Programs

The New Deal was a set of programs and policies implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s to help the United States recover from the Great Depression. It aimed to provide economic relief, create jobs, and reform financial systems. Some key programs included the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which funded public works projects like roads and schools, and the Social Security Act, which established support for the elderly and unemployed. Overall, the New Deal sought to stabilize the economy, reduce hardship, and prevent future crises through government intervention and reform.
