What is model paragraph?Show answer
The New Deal rescued the American system more than it cured the Depression. Its achievements were real and lasting: emergency relief through the CCC and WPA put millions to work, the banking reforms of 1933 and the creation of the SEC restored confidence in finance, and Social Security (1935) built a permanent welfare floor. Politically it preserved democratic capitalism at a moment when many states were turning to dictatorship.
