What program did Roosevelt create to end the Great Depression?

Answer 1

The New Deal was a set of economic programs, passed by Congress during President Roosevelt's first term, 1933-1937, in response to the Great Depression. The programs of The New Deal programs were to provide relief, recovery, and reform. The programs started in the first 100 days of President Roosevelt's first term, and were to deliver relief to the unemployed, and to those in danger of losing their homes, as well as, deliver recovery to agriculture and business, and reform, in general.

The first and one of the largest of The New Deal Programs was

• The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)- which allowed the federal government to build dams and power plants in the Tennessee Valley, coupled with agricultural and industrial planning, to generate and sell the power, and to engage in area development. The TVA was given an assignment to improve the economic and social circumstances of the people living in the river basin.

• Federal Emergency Relief Act - established the Federal Emergency Relief Administration to distribute $500 million to states and localities for relief. Administered by Harry Hopkins for relief or for wages on public works, that federal agency would eventually pay out about $3 billion
• Agricultural Adjustment Act - established the Agricultural Adjustment Administration to decrease crop surpluses by subsidizing farmers who voluntarily cut back on production
• Thomas Amendment to the Agricultural Adjustment Act, permitted the president to inflate the currency in various ways
