Indeed, the New Deal was critical in easing the consequences of the Great Depression. The initiatives involved in the New Deal aided those suffering from the effects of the depression in the short run. However, they established a pattern for the federal government to assume a significant role in the nation’s economic and social affairs in the long term.
The programs supported the elderly, unemployed citizens, farmers, and the youths, re-establishing a sense of stability and safety as it returned more people to work. The deal established the foundation for a federal government that would safeguard the interests of all its citizens, rich and poor while assisting the commercial system in becoming more productive.
