New Deal
By Emilee Bedford and Payton Herman
Americans Get a New Deal
Most people got an idea that everything would change because we got a new president, and there would no longer be a depression. FDR decided to close all banks to prevent further withdrawals. For the banking system to go any further the Glass-Steagall Act was passed.
Helping the American People
The AAA sought to raise crop prices by lowering production. Farmers got paid a certain amount of money by every acre. The CCC put men aged 18 to 25 to work building roads, developing parks, planting trees, and helping in soil-erosion and flood-control projects. The NIRA provided money to states to create jobs chiefly in the construction of schools and other community buildings.
