Of Roosevelt's Three Rs, which had the most impact during the Great
Depression (Reform, Relief, or Recovery)? 

The Relief part of Roosevelt's three R's had the most impact because it affected different of aspects of American life. Economically, it caused the federal deficit to rise as a result of the adherence to the Keynesian principle of "deficit spending". Politically, it changed the laissez-faire style government during Hoover's administration into one more directly intervening in its citizens' lives through the delegation of legislative authority to the executive official of the United States. Socially, it attempted to reduce the assimilation imposed upon Native Americans by the Dawes Act of 1887 by the establishment of the Indian reorganization Act, which sought to have native Americans establish self-government of their land holdings and maintain their traditional arts and crafts.

Reform had the most impact out of the three R's because it stable the United States for having the great depression occur again (like a safe net). The reform was meant to be permanent and have a long term programs that would help our nation and insure against an economic disaster. For example, Congress pass the Securities & Exchange Commission to keep a watchful eye on stock market activity.

During the great depression, of Roosevelt’s  three R’s, recovery
caused the most impact because it improved the complications with
housing, banking,  and money flow.  The home owner’s loan corporation
lent people money so they would not lose their homes and pay banks,
this thus caused less bankruptcy. The agricultural adjustment act
taxed factories for materials and gave the money to farmers and
producers. This way, money was circulating more; factories produced
less, people bought more, factories took the money and produce again-
money circulated! The government also began to offer more jobs, both
long term and short term, helping reduce the unemployment number.
 They produced more dams and hydro power, to make cheaper energy.
Although reform helped to improve conditions, it helped more of a long
term effort, to ensure it would not happen again, not necessarily to
fix conditions. Relief stopped the economic down fall, but the country
still had many problems, and it was recovery that began to build the
country again and helped the people.

Of the following Rs presented by Roosevelt after his inauguration on March 4,1933, going about the three was
not really which was better but which ones would have greater impact in the time in which they were needed.
All were important to the country however to some extent Recovery would have had the most impact in America
following the great depression.Roosevelt had promised America to balance out the nation's budget and decrease
"Hooverian" deficits. The country would need this more than the other to because in order for reform or relief to 
occur, the nation would have needed to feel at ease with the country's budget.The downside to Recovery would 
have been the amount of time it would have to take for it to fully recover permanently.If the nation was patient enough
the other to would be strongly supported following a balance of budget.Roosevelt started the recovery process by passing the  Emergency Bank Relief Act of 1933,which then is another example of the three Rs helping one another to help speed up the Recover process. Although the other two(Reform and Relief) were still important to America to some extent,it would have made it easier for them to be waited out until Recovery from the depression had occurred.The idea of the three Rs was that one would need some assistance from one or the otherof the two Rs or maybe even both in order to be more successful.To help the Recover process speed up,Roosevelt formedthe FHA in 1934,and to strengthen it even further,congress helped create the USHA.

From the three R's that Franklin D. Roosevelt was imposing in America, relief had the most impact during the Great Depression because relief method helped millions of unemployed people be employed, the Work Progress Administration was set to offer employment to the unemployed. Many families now had hope of receiving money to survive during the Great Depression, the workers were given jobs to build public facilities, but this was better for these families than being unemployed, and because of this new job opportunities, this was the root to lead to the recovery of the economy, the Public Works Administration for example.

Of Roosevelt's Three R's the relief part had the most impact during
the Great Depression.
The relief part of Roosevelt's Three R's was most important during the
Great Depression to some extent because it gave jobs to the millions
unemployed.
Roosevelt and congress made the Federal Emergency Relief Act which was
the first major effort to provide immediate relief rather than long
term recovery for the unemployed.
This then created the Federal Emergency Administration (FERA) this
agency granted 3 billion dollars to the states for wages on work
projects.
This agency then helped many groups to give millions of dollars to
help people meet their mortgages
FDR actually established the Civil Works Administration (CWA) to give
many unemployed people temporary jobs.
The relief part is the most important to some extent because it eased
the American people, it stopped them from panicking, and it gave them
a new hope.

Roosevelt's Three Rs all made impacts durning the Great Drepression to
some extent
but recovery was the R that had the most impact. However, all the
impact it made was
not all good. In order to recover he closed banks and created jobs.
Him closing the banks
was an attempt to help the depression, closing the banks seems costly
but it will be helpful.
He crated jobs by creating the CCC (civilian conservation corps), this
allowed young men who
did not have jobs for find employment. The reason for making this had
good intentions and it did
make an impact during the great depression. Therefore, recovery is the
R that made the most impact by making jobs and claming down people.

From Roosevelts three R's the most impact that had occured was the recovery.It also had negative consequences. To recover he shut down banks and created other jobs for new employees.This caused civilians to loose their savings in banks. He did this to end depression but he had no idea of how much he would loose.
The civilian conservation corps had good outcome.
" "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." He wanted to fix the problems of the inner core. He wanted to calm civilians down of fear of being economically down. This was a hope for the people.
