The New Deal: FDR's Response to the Great Depression

By 1932, more than 12 million people were without jobs, leading Franklin D. Roosevelt to promise “a new deal for the American people.” He won the presidency in a landslide, assuring that “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” His plan encompassed three core elements: Relief for jobless workers, Recovery for banks and businesses, and Reform to prevent future depressions. FDR relied on experts, convened a special session of Congress, and utilized “fireside chats” to communicate his goals directly to the public. This period, known as the “Hundred Days,” resulted in significant programs such as the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Agricultural Adjustment Administration.
