Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal Programs

Franklin D. Roosevelt had a few programs of the New Deal. The New Deal program that I have chosen is the Emergency Banking Relief Act. The three things that I am going to talk about are; what the Emergency Banking Relief Act is about, the Great Depression, and the sections. First is what the Emergency Banking Relief Act. On March 9th, 1933, the United States passed this act, the Emergency Banking Relief Act, to help steady the systems of the all of the banks. Franklin D.
