Roosevelt promised a "New Deal" to the American people to restore confidence in the nation's financial system, get people back to work and bring relief to all segments of the economy. FDR's "fireside chats" convinced the American people he was on their side. However, key measures of the first New Deal came under fire prompting FDR to launch a second New Deal that included key legislation such as the Social Security Act. Eventually, World War II brought an end to the Great Depression and solidified the reforms of the New Deal.
