The+New+Deal;+An+Overview

The New Deal was the largest renovation of federal government since its inception, and the ramifications of President Roosevelt's actions are still a part of the U.S. the beginning of The Great Depression, there was a large movement for federal government to intervene before things went even more sour, and in a way that federal government had never been involved before. Before the crash, federal government barely touched on the daily life of the average citizen, with minor exceptions like federal law issues, or the postal service.("The New Deal", //Digital History)//

But with the crash came a deluge of protest, saying the government wasn't involved enough, and could have prevented the crash with enough oversight. Then President Herbert Hoover disagreed, but made enough concessions to get the ball rolling. This was arguably the start of New Deal policy, as Hoover started programs left and right and went against even his own policy, but it was not enough. The public painted him an unflattering caricature, and his claims that "No one is starving." were extraordinarily stark contrasts to what John Q. Public was experiencing at the time. This left the door wide open for a candidate who wanted to do even more, to take federal government in new directions and bring it closer to the public than it had ever been before; Franklin Delano Roosevelt would become the 32nd President of the United States, and would usher in his plan to give America a New Deal.

Roosevelt's New Deal wasn't just a plan to revamp the federal government; it was a plan to renovate and improve America. Roosevelt brought in a slew of new programs, and while not all of them were effective, many of them served the purpose they were meant to, and while it's arguable that they helped or hurt, they certainly lifted the people's spirits. There was a collective feeling that FDR cared, and was going to really bring in a new level of human government. Foremost among the collective minds of the people was the multitude of programs FDR was ready to authorize, and did;

The New Deal was a rapid explosion of government, and probably what made FDR such a beloved president. The programs and aid lent a connection that was never there before, ushering in a liberal ideology and changing the landscape that so desperately needed change.
