The day after Franklin Roosevelt became president, he took immediate action to address the economic crisis caused by the Great Depression. He declared a national bank holiday to stabilize the banking system and prevent further collapse. Roosevelt also issued several executive orders and proposed legislation to create relief programs like the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which provided jobs and financial assistance to millions of Americans. Additionally, he implemented the Agricultural Adjustment Act to stabilize agricultural prices and established the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to protect depositors' funds. These measures were part of Roosevelt's larger New Deal economic recovery plan aimed at stimulating the economy and providing relief to those affected by the Great Depression.
