Franklin Delano Roosevelt: The New Deal

The New Deal was successful in that it solved the major problems of the Great Depression. Franklin Delano Roosevelt did a great job leading the country with a goal to recover from approximately four years of tough times. He implemented the three R’s which were relief, recovery and reform. He used all three of these during the repair of the United States economic system. There were many people ready to listen to their recently elected president on March 12, 1933. When he came onto the radio he talked in what most people would describe as a smooth comforting voice in order to ease the people and in hope to regain some of their confidence. Roosevelt will be remembered for the adjustments he made in office to restore the U.S. in a time of need.
