THE NEW DEAL
The New Deal was a series of domestic programs enacted in the United States between 1933 and 1938.
FIRST 100 DAYS
In Roosevelt’s first hundred days in office, he pushed 15 major bills through Congress. The bills would reshape every aspect of the economy, from banking and industry to agriculture and social welfare. The president promised decisive action. He called Congress into special session and demanded "broad executive power to wage a war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe."
