Source Analysis of the New Deal Alphabet Agencies

Source A: Roosevelt's Fireside Chat on the New Deal

"Today, I am announcing the creation of several new agencies to help Americans recover from the economic hardships of the Great Depression. These agencies, such as the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA), and the National Recovery Administration (NRA), are designed to provide jobs, stabilize prices, and boost confidence in our economy. The government will work directly with industries and communities to ensure that relief reaches those who need it most. These efforts represent a bold step toward economic recovery and social reform, emphasizing the importance of federal intervention to restore prosperity. I believe that through these agencies, we can rebuild America stronger than ever before." Provenance: Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1933, Speech delivered during a radio broadcast.
