Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I believe the New Deal was good for America during the Great Depression. Although controversial for some, the New Deal had a positive impact on America because the economic situation was the worst in the history of the United States.  

The New Deal was the series of economic programs and legislation created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as a result of the Great Depression that started on October 29, 1929, after the US stock market crashed.

Roosevelt wanted to help the American people in those difficult years of the Great Depression. Under the New Deal, the federal government created the Tennessee Valley Authority Act, the Work Progress Administration, the Social Security Act, the Civilian Conservation Corps, or the Social Security Administration.
