By providing financial support and job opportunities for those affected by the depression. Explanation: The New Deal, implemented by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was a series of government programmes aiming to restore economic stability in the US. The programmes aim was to help citizens suffering from the wall street crash and depression find new jobs, earn money and get back on track but they also helped returning WW1 soldiers, the elderly, widows and other vulnerable groups with financial issues and stabilized the price of food. The Great depression was a period of time in which unemployment was high and economy was low. After the banks crashed (went bankrupt), people lost their life savings leading to the huge decrease in trade and therefore, jobs. When Roosevelt was elected in 1932, the previous president (Herbert Hoover) had done little to help the situation. However, Roosevelt's New Deal was significantly more successful.
