FDR implemented his New Deal programs to provide Relief, Recovery, and Reform from the Great Depression. Some of the major programs established during the First Hundred Days included the Civilian Conservation Corps to employ young men in public works, the Agricultural Adjustment Act to subsidize farmers for crop reductions, and the Tennessee Valley Authority to provide jobs and electricity through infrastructure projects. However, the New Deal did not succeed in ending the Great Depression, though it did increase the role and size of the federal government.
