FDR's First Fireside Chat-Rachel,Cassie,Katherine
On March 12, 1933, FDR gave his first "Fireside Chat." Fireside Chats were the president's way of passing on hopeful speeches to the citizens of the United States via radio. They greatly assisted Americans in getting through the rough times of the Depression and other crisises. The first Fireside Chat's topic was on FDR's recent decision to temporarily close down the nation's banks. This was the first chat of many that would give the nation hope in this time. A wonderful thing, in our opinion. -
Civilian Conservation Corps
The CCC was a public work relief program that operated from 1933 to 1942 in the United States for unemployed, unmarried men from relief families as part of the New Deal. Originally for young men ages 18-23, it was eventually expanded to young men ages 17-28. Robert Fechner was the head of the agency. We think this was a very influential policy because it helped out the young men who couldn't find a job to support a family. Tayte Carver. Derrick Brown. Caden Blizzard -
AAA(Agricultural Adjustment Act)
After the Great Depression they didnt have enough money to invest in agricultural food and lifetock. With the New Deal FDR created the AAA to reduce agricultural production by paying farmers subsides and not to plant on part of their land and to kill livestock. The purpose was to reduce crop surplus and therefore effectively raise the value of crops.
We think this was a good idea because everybody was able to buy food and farmers could get more money from their crops. -
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)
The Tennessee Valley Authority was created and organized by Franklin D. Roosevelt. The TVA provided navigation, flood control, electricity generation, fertilizer manufacturing, and economic development to the Tennessee Valley, a region greatly affected by the Great Depression. We think that the TVA was a great idea showing that Franklin D. Roosevelt care for the economic welfare of his country.

Tennessee Valley Authority
The Tennessee Valley Authority is a federally owned corporation in the United States created by congressional charter to provide navigation, flood control, electricity generation, fertilizer manufacturing, and economic development to the Tennessee Valley, a region particularly affected by the Great Depression.
We believe the program helped the Tennessee Valley to recover faster and help rebuild it better. -
FDIC
On June 16, 1933 president Franklkn Roosevelt signed the Banking Act of 1933 a part of which established the FDIC.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation preserves and promotes public confidence in the US financial system by insuring deposits in banks and thrift institutions for up to $250,000 per depositor, e insured bank.
We think this is a good thing because it gave people trust in the banks again
