The New Deal Era

The New Deal Era (1933-1939) was a series of programs and reforms introduced by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in response to the Great Depression. Aimed at providing relief to the unemployed, boosting the economy, and reforming financial systems, the New Deal included initiatives like the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Social Security Act. It marked a significant shift in government policy, emphasizing the role of the federal government in economic recovery and social welfare. The era reshaped American society by addressing poverty and unemployment, ultimately laying the groundwork for future social safety nets.
