Topic > A New Deal for the United States - 1762

“This nation demands action, and action now”4. Franklin Delano Roosevelt got off to a great start the day he took office as President: I pledge myself to you, I pledge myself, to a New Deal for the American people.4 In the first hundred days, FDR gave life to his idea of ​​contributing to bring the upside down The States denounce the depression in which they found themselves. “In the second half of the 1930s, with the country in the grip of the Great Depression, the Supreme Court reversed course” on FDR5's “legislative economic recovery agenda.” With the United States in economic decline and in the throes of the Depression, Congress, supported by FDR, enacted a series of measures to recover. New Deal programs developed economic mobility by providing relief to people, reforming government, and recovering from economic disaster. The first step towards the three “R” plan is relief, providing direct aid to reduce the suffering of the poor and unemployment. FDR abandoned the gold standard for U.S. currency to put more money into circulation. This tempered many big businesses, but JP Morgan claimed that “abandoning gold saved the country from complete collapse”4. The circulation of larger amounts of money made it easier for civilians to obtain it and start supporting themselves again. This step gave the people what they needed along with FDR providing radio broadcasts, to give them hope and keep them motivated to better themselves and help significantly reduce unemployment. By 1933, the Civilian Conservation Corps became one of the New Deal's most popular programs. Becoming the “fastest mobilization in American history,” this program ended up putting several thousand young people to work on conservation and forestry projects, giving everyone a new lease on life… middle of paper… but not them he pulled out completely, he simply prevented the United States from sinking completely during this period. Historian Richard Hofstadter commented, “The New Deal may have been a failure in the 1930s, but it was certainly a success in the 1950s!” that truly brought the United States out of the Depression. The New Deal failed in some of the programs it had, but FDR was willing to try anything to keep hope in the American people and lift the economy. The New Deal programs kept the American people going and that is what FDR strove to do. The three "R" parts that provide relief to the people, reform the government, and recover from economic disaster gave the United States enough economic mobility to get to World War II.
