Shortly after his inauguration, Franklin Roosevelt set about to fulfill his campaign promise that he would offer Americans a "New Deal." In the first 100 days of his presidency, the president instituted a dizzying array of programs to try to stabilize banks, deal with unemployment, and infuse some hope into the American economy. To keep Americans aware of what the government was doing, FDR used "Fireside Chats", or radio addresses to inform Americans.
For Monday, examine one of Roosevelt's earliest fireside chats found here:
