The primary goal of the New Deal during the Great Depression was to provide relief, recovery, and reform to a struggling American economy. Implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s, the New Deal aimed to address the widespread unemployment and financial instability caused by the Great Depression. It included various programs and projects designed to provide jobs, stimulate economic growth, and prevent future economic crises through regulatory reforms. Overall, the New Deal significantly shaped the role of the federal government in the economy and established a social safety net for vulnerable citizens.
