The purpose was to save as many banks as possible and restore confidence in the banking system. Banks make money by lending out a part of the money that people deposit in them. If everybody with money in the bank tries to take their money out, the bank can not give it back at once and the bank fails. But, if people hear the bank is about to fail, they panic and try to get their money out, so the bank is sure to fail. This is what was happening and banks all over were failing.
Roosevelt closed all the banks for a short time to stop the panic. Those that were sound were re-opened and depositors had their deposits insured against loss by the government.
The Emergency Banking Relief Act of 1933 aimed to stabilize the banking system during the Great Depression by allowing federal intervention in banks, facilitating their reopening, and restoring public confidence. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was established to provide insurance for bank deposits, protecting depositors' funds and preventing bank runs. Together, these measures sought to restore stability to the financial system and ensure the safety of individual savings.
