Explanation:

Content: The many schemes offered jobs and financial support for millions of people who had been badly affected, and the government didn't just give them money. FDR helped his citizens earn money through public works so the workers got a paycheck and the country benefitted from many new bridges, schools roads and more! FDR also helped to restore confidence in the Banks and government. Americans felt supported by the government and FDR won many supporters for the Democratic party - especially Women and African Americans who benefitted from the labour support. Arguably, America didn't fully recover until after WW2 when they could reap the benefits of functioning among a shattered world, but it is perhaps thanks to FDR and the New Deal that America remained democratic and under control within a time where many other countries turned to dictatorships and other harmful systems in response to their failed economies. A few notes - I have used FDR as an acronym for Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the dates provided for acts refer to when they were signed instead of when they became effective. Let me know if I can improve on anything and I will correct it:) Hope this helps! Answer link
