A New Deal
In his inaugural address, FDR demanded "action, and action now" to fight the Great Depression. He did not waste any time in delivering on that promise. On his first full day in office he called Congress into special session. He had promised Americans a New Deal. Now he began to construct it.
Roosevelt's New Deal would touch virtually every aspect of American economic life and forever change the role of the Federal Government in the lives of Americans.
