The Three R's of Roosevelt's New DealFranklin D. Roosevelt one the election of 1932 by a landslide of the Democratic party with this promise: "I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people."
This New Deal that was promised came in the form of two parts. The first saw the passing of banking reform laws, emergency relief programs, work relief programs, and agricultural programs. The second, to come later, included union protection programs, the Social Security Act, and aid programs for migrant workers and tenet farmers.Programs started as part of Roosevelt's New Deal included the Public Works Administration(PWA), Civilian Conservation Corps(CCC), National Industrial Recovery Act, Agricultural Adjustment Act, the Tennessee Authority Act, and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The three R's of his New Deal are relief, recovery, and reform. Relief meant immediate action taken to halt the financial decline. This included a bank holiday to stop the panic, the Emergency Banking Act, and the CCC. Recovery were the temporary programs started to try and get people to buy things again. These included the AAA, the WPA, and the Home Owner's Land Corp. Reform was referring to the permanent programs established to keep the depression from happening again. These include the Soil Conservation Act, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation(FDIC), and the Social Security Administration.*Note: I can't really put personal opinion with this one. Sorry, Mr. Bruns, but a lot of the New Deal is just a list of all the programs that started because of it. It's also not very detailed for the reason that other people are researching probably almost every topic covered under the New Deal.Source 1Source 2
