Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, the New Deal did a lot to assist people and the economy in the Great Depression. There were efforts to control the financial sector to limit speculation and to create jobs for the unemployed.

Explanation:

The New Deal was enacted in the first few months of Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency and it included safeguards meant to put new controls on the banking industry and financial sector so as to avoid a repetition of the stock market crash of 1929 that ushered in the Great Depression. Roosevelt pushed various reforms as laws passed by Congress as well as presidential executive orders during the first term of his presidency. Agencies like the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) were founded in order to create temporary jobs and provided governmental aid to families that had fallen into desperate situations. Citizens were given employment on construction projects to improve the infrastructure nationally and youth were granted positions for example in maintaining and protecting the national forests.
