At the time Roosevelt took over the presidency, the economy was in a state of turmoil, millions of Americans were out of work, and it would be anyone's guess as to what would happen next.

Many economic, political, and social factors lead up to the New Deal. There was 25% unemployment, not to mention there was a report that 20% of New York school children were malnourished.
