The New Deal was created to make the United States a more affordable country for needy Americans. It was created during Franklin D. Roosevelt's first presidential term in 1933. The New Deal was a chain of programs created to help the United States address the poverty occurring during that time. Poverty has had a major effect on Americans; lack of work, depression, homelessness and more. Many times families will feel useless to their family because they cannot provide them with anything. According to Franklin D. Roosevelt (2009, para. 1), the New Deal was divided into three phases: Relief, Recovery, and Reform; each had its own meaning. Like everything in history, everything has a cause, so does the New Deal. Sometimes the outcome of that case is significant and is passed down to different generations. A great example is the New Deal, because although the programs were created years ago, some still exist today and many people benefit from them. The main cause of the New Deal was the stock market crash, known as the Great Depression. On October 29, 1929, also known as Black Tuesday, the world turned upside down (Charles Scaliger, 2008, p.34, para. 1).

Even if it served different races, racism was still a problem, because it was not forbidden to harbor prejudices, but simply to avoid them. Basically the idea was to not get caught discriminating, which wasn't fair, because a lot of people of different colors were in the same shoes as everyone else. One idea of ​​President Roosevelt, which was totally opposed to that of President Hoover, was control of production. The National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) program showed the main difference the two presidents had. While President Hoover believed in raising prices to grow the economy, President Roosevelt thought differently. This program said that companies should not raise prices, just because the economy was doing badly. The fact that this program led to unionization, because now the court was actually on the side of the workers, rather than the employees (Phyllis Day, 2009, p.. 289).
