The New Deal programs of the 1930s aimed to address the Great Depression through economic recovery, social reform, and financial reforms. Their primary objectives included providing relief for the unemployed, supporting farmers, and fostering industrial recovery. Programs like the CCC and the WPA focused on job creation, while initiatives like the Social Security Act established safety nets. By promoting government intervention in the economy, the New Deal fundamentally reshaped the role of the federal government in American life, aiming to restore confidence among the populace and stabilize the economy.
