The Federal governemnt tried to stop the tide of the Great Depression by implementing the New Deal.
The New Deal was a series of domestic programs and agencies created by Franklin D. Roosevelt and Congress. The goal of the New Deal was to help the American economy recover, provide relief for banks and businesses, and reform institutions that failed at the beginning of the Great Depression.
This New Deal resulted in the creation of several different federal works programs that would employ hundreds of thousands of citizens over the course of almost a decade. These agencies included the Conservation Civilian Corps, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the Works Progress Administration.
