=During the 1930s, Americans were looking for help after the country went into a major economic depression.=


 * Many Americans lost their jobs due to factories and industries having sluggish to zero sales.
 * Investors watched their money disappear at the stockmarket which caused banks to close.
 * Farmers were losing their farms due to over production of crops and surplus.
 * Dust Bowl impacted the Mid- West which turned farm land into blankets of dust due to poor farming practices and drought.

= Where is Government help, Hoover? = * Hoover felt it was best for the government to take a "hands off" approach and let the private market work its way out. * Let the private institutions help make changes and to let the companies who are weak fall. *BAD IDEA * Realizing this approach did work, Hoover started to pump money into the economy through certain industries hoping to create job growth and economic turn around, but TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.

= NEW PRESIDENT MEANS NEW IDEAS = * In 1932 the country elected Franklin Delano Roosevelt as President. * As soon as he took over, he worked to provide relief to the country and to help settle fear that seemed to be on the hearts and mind of many Americans.

= NEW DEAL Programs- Programs that were inacted within the first 100 day of Roosevelt's administration. =
