The Great Deppression- FDR and The New Deal

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the 32nd president. He was the only president that had a physical disability. He almost died of polio but survived it. When FDR became president he carefully picked advisors that composed of proffesors, lawyers and journalists and were called the Brain Trust, and were important because they helped make the new deal. The new deal was designed to alleviate problems of the great depression. Roosevelt's new deal atempted to address the three goals that were relief for the needy, economic recovery, and financial reform. President Roosevelet's first action taken was that he closed all banks. Congress passed the emergency banking relief act,which would allow inspectors to see if banks would be able to pay so they could stay open, and if  banks were insolvent then they would remain closed.
