Franklin Roosevelt made a huge difference during the Great depression. Instead of just sitting back and watching America fall more and more into despair, he decided to make a difference. During the first 100 days of his election he set regulations on the banks so that they would never fail again. He also created new work projects, using the alphabet agencies. They aimed to create jobs while protecting the workers. He took jobs that needed to be done such as the building of the Hoover Dam and created job opportunities. He also used John Keynes economical theories to to get the US out of the Great Depression by spending money and helping companies. Which resulted in more jobs. This along with WWII created more jobs and got the US out of the Great Depression. Roosevelt was able to provide over 10000 jobs for Americans.
