Attempts to Fix the Great Depression

EMERGENCY BANKING RELIEF ACT
Roosevelt was on the radio again today. He's calling these little talk show things his fireside chats. This time he was talking about the emergency banking relief act. Roosevelt used this act to close all the banks and only reopen the ones that were stable. Roosevelt wanted to make sure that we as citizen could trust the bank again and to put their money in their without the fear of loosing all of it. With each video President Roosevelt takes of you, with each picture, I feel like I'm highly unappreciated.
