Out with the old - in with the New Deal. After an apparent lack of response from President Hoover, FDR wasn't going to make the same mistake. In his first term in office, President Roosevelt (FDR) presented the 3 R's to the American People: Relief. Recovery. Reform. A series of economic and social legislation to help pull America out of the Great Depression were passed between 1933 and 1936.
The big question: Did it work? Your students will be the judge of that.
This Mini-Toolbook is part of our larger book, The Great Depression.
