The First 100 Days as President

Roosevelt accomplished a lot in his 100 days as president and a lot more than hoover that signed tariffs which actually had a bad impact on the economy due to not being able to export and creating the hoover dam. If a like to like comparsion is needed on May 18 1933 Roosevelt created the TVA(Tennessee Valley Authority) which had created 16 hydroelectric multipurpose dams by 1944. On Roosevelts first day he passes the Emergency Banking Act through congress and shuts down all banks until they are proven as stable. He then creates a lot of alphabet agencies such as FERA(Federal Emergency Relief Act) and the CC (Civilian Conservation Corps) and the National Industrial Recover Act.
