What were the key elements of Franklin D. Roosevelt's first New Deal program? To what degree did these succeed in getting the economy back on track and in providing relief to suffering Americans?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1. The programs focused on what historians refer to as the "3 Rs": relief for the unemployed and poor, recovery of the economy back to normal levels, and reform of the financial system to prevent a repeat depression.

2. This was one of the most popular and successful relief programs of the New Deal. It put unemployed, unmarried men (and eventually unemployed war veterans) to work planting trees, building fire towers, restoring forests, and creating camp grounds and picnic areas.

Explanation:

1. Based on the assumption that the power of the federal government was needed to get the country out of the depression, the first days of Roosevelt's administration saw the passage of banking reform laws, emergency relief programs, work relief programs, and agricultural programs.

2. The New Deal was responsible for some powerful and important accomplishments. It put people back to work. It saved capitalism. It restored faith in the American economic system, while at the same time it revived a sense of hope in the American people.
