New Deal
The New Deal was a set of programs and laws made by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Great Depression. It was designed to help people who had lost their jobs, homes, and savings, and to help the American economy get started again. It provided money to fix roads and bridges, gave money to farmers so they could keep growing their crops, and gave people jobs to help build new schools, hospitals, and parks. It also provided unemployment benefits and Social Security, which is a program that helps people when they retire.
