hundreddays



After FDR was inaugurated, his first hundred days were famous because he accomplished so much in such little time and those days were named "Hundred Days". He accomplished many new helpful organizations to jump start the economy. These included the creation of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and the Tennessee Valley Authority. Congress also gave the Federal Trade Commission broad new regulatory powers, and provided mortgage relief to millions of farmers and homeowners. All in all, FDR was an amazing President who did so much in such little time.
