Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the first New Deal "I promise you, I pledge you, a new deal for the American people", was Franklin Delano Roosevelt's famous slogan. After long periods of continued decline, the nation's people were consumed by negative feelings due to President Hoover's lack of effort during the Great Depression. Not only were people agitated by his poor efforts, but more importantly by his method of resolving the situation they found themselves in. Hoover believed in the concept of rugged individualism. This was a term he used during his presidency during the Depression. The idea of ​​strong individualism was created to ensure that the government was less dependent and that the people of the nation had to provide more for themselves in times of difficulty. It would be obvious that during this era the majority of the United States would not appreciate or accept the concept of rugged individualism. Indeed, there was much tension and turmoil against President Hoover in the later stages of his presidency due to this factor. It was more that people were ready for a change. The nation needed the help and support of a dedicated government. It was more a need that they wanted to get out of the economic and social depression in which they found themselves. He was certain that Hoover was not the right man to help them out (Kingsbury). Fortunately, the nation soon discovered that there was someone out there who would be dedicated enough to bring it out of its misery. There was no greater man for this job than Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Being a Democratic politician, Roosevelt not only won over the nation with his social tactics, but more importantly with his political party. With…half the paper…the programs were applied so quickly. All in all, President Roosevelt had good intentions and aimed to keep the nation on the cusp of overcoming the Great Depression. The First New Deal had its setbacks but it also had its benefits. It is important for people in today's society to understand that without FDR's efforts to implement the New Deal, the nation would have been in trouble much longer than before. There is also the possibility that the nation would have fallen into a greater depression in the long run if federal laws and programs had not been enacted. By looking at the outcomes of the First New Deal and the Great Depression, we can learn a valuable lesson about managing money and stocks. It takes the consumer to keep the nation in order. Without maintaining the market, this can harm many people in the country through loss of jobs, money and emotional relief.
