While not being able to end the Depression, the New Deal did preserve the people's confidence in America's institutions and government. The relief measures of the New Deal were considered a success. Many Americans did find work during the Depression as a result of the economic measures passed by Congress under the New Deal program. Government provided relief to the unemployed with government programs that would be termed by some as government welfare. Many Americans however in both rural and urban areas of the nation did support the efforts of the New Deal. FDR's Fireside Chats provided confidence and reassurance to many. Rural electrification, Social Security, insurance of bank accounts, protection for labor unions, and federal controls over the economy gave many a sense of security in the future and in the government. While there were some radical movements during the Great Depression, the faith Americans had in their system of government did not falter.

Which American president brought hope to many people during the Great Depression?
Many people blamed the crash of Wall Street (Black Thursday) on the Republicans who had politically dominated the "roaring twenties". Herbert Hoover was not re-elected in 1932 as it was thought he did not do enough to provide relief from the economic depression that followed the collapseof the New York Stock Exchange.A Democrat, Franklin Delano Roosevelt won the election and began government programs to attempt to end the depression. This soon became a world depression. Roosevelt was the first US President that did not follow the precedent set by George Washington by only running for president 2 times. Roosevelt won 4 straight presidential elections. ( later the Congress limited the election of any president to 2 terms by law.President Roosevelt's economic programs gave hope to the 25 % of US workers who had no jobs. He became the "peoples friend" with hisweekly radio broadcasts which were a comfort to the USA. Economists today don't give Roosevelt much credit for ending the great depression. The consensus is that the USA's entry into WW2 brought the depression to an end.

As the nation's economic system developed the economy experienced?
As the nation's economic system developed, the economy experienced both ups and downs. This means that as the economy was developing, there were economic booms where the economy was considered 'good' but also falls (or depressions) where times are considered 'bad.' These ups and downs are sometimes, but not always, cyclical when they appear, meaning that a depression will be followed by a length of time when the strength of the economy grows again.
