Franklin Delano Roosevelt became the 32nd president of the united states after defeating Hoover in the election. After he became president he created many programs that tried to relieve from the Great Depression. He was known as the doctor to heal the nation. There were three new programs that stood out that believed to help get out of the Great Depression. The first one will be the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC), the second one is the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA), and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Each of these Deals helped nation as well as having a bad impact to it also.
One of FDR’s deals dealt with the Civilian Conservation Corp or CCC for young men who are out of school go to work. The program was established in 1941. The work that they do is help the environment. The CCC put hundreds of unemployed men to work each season on environmental projects. Roosevelt hoped the CCC would create “ a mass exodus of unemployed to the forests.” (Nash 445). The CCC only allowed men but they also “excluded women and limited numbers of african americans, hispanic americans, and native americans it accepted into its ranks.”(Nash 456).

It really showed that Roosevelt wanted change unlike Hoover.
