"The New Deal was a direct response to the Great Depression. The 1930s were met with abysmal investor confidence, soaring unemployment, hyperinflation and the drying-up of private charities. Since millions were virtually becoming poor overnight due to the profoundly devastating economic conditions, beliefs about the poor quickly became less detached from mainstream thought and everyday life. With so many more jobless and homeless, poverty was attributed more to the economy than to personal choice or behavior. With a new, more structural explanation for poverty, the public beliefs regarding government’s role in providing assistance quickly shifted. This was evidenced by the landslide victory of Roosevelt, a proponent of social assistance, over Hoover, who opposed federal action."

FDR tried to solve the Great Depression problem, and although he didn't quite do that, the economy did get a lot better, from the New Deal was many jobs created to fill the unemployment problem. The old people were given retirement pensions, which was nonexistent before. People also had banking security, so in case of a stock market crash people would be insured from losing all of their money in the bank. Politically, many people shifted to the Democrat parties, especially the blue-collars and the african Americans. The New Deal Coalition was formed and remained a staunch supporter of the Democrats until the sixties. The Democrats gained ground for the next 30 years or so. In the society the Great Depression got somewhat better and people began to have jobs. Unemployent rose from 25% in 1933 to 10% in 1938.

In the First New Deal, FDR wanted to accomplish the "3 R's" following the Great Depression:
1. Relief for the unemployed
2. Recovery of the economy
3. Reform of the economy

The 1st New Deal was significant because it enlarged the federal government by raising taxes, and for the first time, Americans were accepting the inevitability of a large and powerful government.

FDR also implemented the New Deal by forming organizations such as the AAA, CCC, NRA (National Recovery Administration).
