How did the creation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) help end the banking crisis?
It's important to understand that banks don't hold on to all of the money that is deposited at them: they loan it out, and then some of the interest from those loans goes back to the deposit holders. They can do this because, under normal circumstances, not everyone is going to withdraw all of their money at once. By the time the bank needs to give people their money back, they'll have made it back from loans. But during the Depression, people were withdrawing so much money from banks that the banks ran out of money. That happening caused people to panic and withdraw money from banks, because they saw that it wasn't safe there, and that in turn caused more banks to collapse. The FDIC essentially exists to ensure that this can't happen. As the name implies, they insure your deposit. That is to say that if you try to withdraw money from a bank and the bank doesn't have it, then the FDIC covers it. Because of this, people felt safe putting their money into banks again.

Why did FDR close America's banks?
America was in a terrible depression when FDR took office and banks were failing. People were rushing banks, trying to get their money out, which of course, they did not have, since they had loaned it out. Panic set it and closing the banks gave people time to think and banks time to make corrections. All the banks were audited and the sound ones were allowed to re-open in about two weeks.
Why does the FDIC place a limit on the amount of money it will insure?
As of 2013, the FDIC provides $250,000 worth of protection per depositor, per account. There is a limit because the purpose of the insurance is to encourage small depositors ("regular people," as opposed to the rich or huge corporations) to keep their money in banks. The main goal of the FDIC was to make sure that banks stay healthy, which can only happen if "regular people" have enough confidence to keep their money in the banks.
Why do we need banks?
To insure your money. You could keep all your money somewhere else, but if you are robbed or something such as a fire were to occur, the money would be gone for good, where as a bank, even if it's robbed, acknowledges how much money you have. Its not only for insuring purpose, but also providing Loans for Customers is its Main task. Banks serve the public as a secure repository for monetary wealth, and to facilitate and document transactions thereof.
